We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version th-cam.com/users/postUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on. However, we should have just noted the dimensions prior to purchasing. Otherwise, we love the doorbell. It works perfectly, and the video is very clear, even at night.
I just purchased some blink cameras and found this very straightforward and informative. I appreciate your time with this video, very well done. thank you
Figured the comments were a bunch of fanboys/fangirls saying nice stuff but actually channel sucked. NOPE, entirely legit. This was one of the best channels ive come across in ages, crushed it good sir! Truly fantastic content, you should coach others on how to make these vids (not being sarcastic). Really well done, subbed
Ny daughter installed these blink cameras outside her apartment. It took the "newcomers" downstairs about 5 minutes to hack them and ride her wifi for free. The minute she disabled them, she heard the little kid from downstairs yell at her mom "hey mom, the internet just went down". She had the strong passwords, latest updates etc, it did no good. These cameras are EXTREMLY vulnerable to hacking. I suppose if you have a very large property where your wifi signal is not accessible from the street or somebody would have to actually be on your property to acquire it, they may be OK, but they definitely need to make these cameras more secure.
Hi Pocket Spill! Yes I would recommend linking the account, if you're going to subscribe to any of the Blink plans. Thanks for asking. I hope you have a wonderful day. 👍
One of my tenants has been able to avoid me being able to see her comings and goings out of my driveway or into my doors at night. She is in and out late at night making me think that something nefarious is going on. Is there anything that I can do to stop her from being able to block my camera
Hi Gaye! Sure! The first thing that comes to mind is to install a second camera in a hidden location. Try installing it on a pole, tree, or in a bush that faces the entrance. Did that help?
Hello I am new and a senior citizen lady not so savvy with tech world but have question. I have Xt2 blink cameras, and want to add another camera confused to why some blinks say subscriptions needed where mine only uses cloud. I do not like to pay subscriptions, so I ask you does Xt blink camera have subscription fee? Hard to find Xt2 good deal, but I see just Xt no number after letters. Will it work with my Xt2 with just cloud? I can just add it? ❓❓❓
Great question. Blink XT, XT2, and Legacy Indoor cameras are covered by their 120 minute per Sync Module of cloud storage. So they don't require a subscription to record. So you should be able to add another older XT or XT2 camera with no subscription. However all newer cameras will require a subscription to record.
Hi Sequoia! I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I know that must be frustrating. I would say first change your passwords: in the app, on the router, and your Amazon account too. If you have done all this, you may consider upgrading to a new router.
Hi Sharon! You can can try the following: Backup the USB on another device (like a computer). Reformat the USB drive. Then reinstalling it back into the sync module.
There no doubt my camera got hack my problem is I'm trying to get it back on line my module keep blinking I tried changing my password and it not allowing me to do that. I went into my wifi setting I found BLINK-44ME to get me to connect it keep coming up I'm scared to connect because I never heard you mention anything about it. My camera is being control by my neighbor I call the police I can't explain how I can get proof PLEASE HELP!
Hi AppleGlo. I'm so sorry you're having this problem. Maybe I can help. 1. Let's start by making sure your WiFi router is up to date. You may need a new model. Check out this video to learn more: th-cam.com/video/ZMA6tX6nZzE/w-d-xo.html 2. Change the password on your WiFi router, Blink, and Amazon accounts. Make sure they are at least 10 - 16 characters long (just like I say in the video). 3. Let's use a paper clip or small pin to restart your sync module. 4. Then enter your new password into the sync module. 5. Place your new passwords in a secret location. 6. Connect the app and check to make sure everything works.
@@TeachMe101 My wifi router is up to date I bought one 3mos ago. I change my password for Amazon and my Blink account it the router that doesn't allow me to change the password it says your password has been breach. My computer still working my devices are connecting expect my blink camera. I done everything you mention I'm trying to get the back working.
Hi Gudie! I'm so sorry to hear about your trouble. But... as long as you have access to the email address and password used to log into the account, you can use any phone to view your cameras.

Do you recommend linking your Amazon and Blink accounts? It’s an option when setting up the Blink account.
Hi Pocket Spill! Yes I would recommend linking the account, if you're going to subscribe to any of the Blink plans.
Thanks for asking. I hope you have a wonderful day. 👍
You can enable auto update for the app
Where'd you get that awesome purple shirt?
Hi Wine Geek! I think I purchased that shirt from JC Penny's years ago. Thanks for the compliment!
So helpful, profoundly thorough, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Pastor thanks for that tip. GOD BLESS

What if one of my cameras continually gets used by someone unknown
Hi Sequoia! I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I know that must be frustrating. I would say first change your passwords: in the app, on the router, and your Amazon account too. If you have done all this, you may consider upgrading to a new router.
What can you do if your mini cam is already hacked?
Is locally stored data more secure?
Yes it can be, if it's not connected to the internet.
I don’t have a subscription with blink and use a usb. Now I can’t get any clips. It says manifest stale, re-request.Can you help me?
Hi Sharon! You can can try the following:
Backup the USB on another device (like a computer). Reformat the USB drive. Then reinstalling it back into the sync module.
@@TeachMe101 thank you. I'll try that!!
Great information
Thank you so much!
If your camera can’t pick up Wi-Fi, does it instantly become trash?
The cameras can't fully work without WiFi. They are pretty much useless without it.

@@Chinaglo24 Have you tried factory defaulting the router?
@@TeachMe101No PLEASE EXPLAIN I'm a little bit computer illerate.
@@Chinaglo24 There should be a reset button on the router. You may need to use a paper clip.
I got hacked and I don't know what to do.cant use my phone
I lost my phone n I can't get back in my blink mini
Hi Gudie! I'm so sorry to hear about your trouble. But... as long as you have access to the email address and password used to log into the account, you can use any phone to view your cameras.
Mine, covered until 2026, has been hacked. Good-bye to them.
