Blink Outdoor Camera Setup - [COMPLETE Beginner's Guide]

[@chrischileshe5745]

Easily the best and most comprehensive guide on any product that I’ve ever seen.. standing ovation!!!!

[@garyaram1808]

clean, simple, short, no gratuitous self promotion. Great, thank you.

[@paulrinschler6649]

Extremely helpful for us "beginners" in setting up a new system. Right to the point in every phase of set-up. The BEST 8minutes/52 seconds spent getting a product up and running from the time of opening the box to completion. Well done!

[@EZTechVidz]

Glad it helped!

[@timothyholleman4344]

Im glad im not the only one that has had the same thoughts about every other instruction video. I thought you did a great job and there was no falling in love with your own voice, like a lot of others seem to do.

[@patbullard9276]

Straight forward and down to earth explanation. Just the correct amount of details. Thanks for keeping it simple and understandable.

[@johnsunkiskis3513]

One of the best step-by-step tutorials I've seen on KZbin; simply outstanding!

[@luciasabrinadimaria614]

Nicely done. Bravo. Clearly spoken, at a nice pace. Thank You

[@johnrpizzaguy]

The video answers all of my questions. I wasn’t sure how to navigate the settings but you explained it perfectly. Thank you

[@msbeheavintoomuch5985]

OMG! I did it....I set up the cameras thanks to your easy to follow video. Gracias!!!

[@chananointed]

I set up all my cameras in less than 20 minutes

[@PrimordialChaos1]

Simple, direct and clear. Outstanding video

[@malitape]

That has got to be the best tutorial I have ever seen. Thank you

[@tombuckley1923]

Great, even for oldies, made simple. Thank you

[@Suefromengland]

Excellent video. I was considering paying someone to set up our cameras but your instructions are clear and very easy to understand. Thank you!

[@beetee1169]

The most helpful guide video I've ever seen up to now. About to purchase and setup for my elderly mum at her lovely bungalow 👍🏼👌🏼💯

[@beetee1169]

Update: so it's been a few days since purchasing a 3 camera deal on Amazon. Setup and app setup was all done in a matter of minutes, courtesy of your fully informative video guide and my mum and I are very happy with the results. A great picture and so easy to manage. Thank you EZTechVidz! 👍🏼🙏🏼

[@Prettipeeperz]

Extremely helpful!! You deserve all good things in life.

[@EZTechVidz]

Lol. Thank you!

Best descriptive video on this subject on KZbin. . Great job.

[@rouninlet2690]

This guide was really useful in setting these up, thanks so much.

[@JACKIETESKEY]

GREAT VIDEO. EXPLAINS EVERYTHING SO WELL. THANK YOU!!! The system and in box details doesn't come with great instructions. SO THANK YOU ❤❤

[@kbdefay]

You did a great job explaining the setup process. Now I'm not so intimidated by the process of setting up my system myself. Thank you!

[@victhakrafter]

Finally a video that gets straight to the point thank you !!

[@akberethailu32]

I just finished setting up my new blink following this step by step video very easily. Tnx

[@adrianbroadbent7666]

What a great Walkthough of the process. I’ve just bought this system, it hasn’t been delivered yet but this has given me a lot of comfort on how easy it will be to set up and install. Thank you!!

[@SuperDuty23XL]

Great video. Just set up our system; your video made it easy and answered any questions . Thanks !

[@garry1214]

Excellent Tutorial, very professional, it would be a better world if you did ALL tutorials on KZbin.

[@ruthh.8222]

Very helpful. You did a great job explaining the process. You went at a great pace, and it was very easy to follow. I had my cameras set up in no time.

[@mdon1662]

Can you visual on monitor

[@ruthh.8222]

@@mdon1662 yes! I have 3 set up, and I can view on phones, IPAD, or monitor

[@dadams6492]

This really helped. I don't know how I missed this before. Thanks

[@darkhelmet7427]

Nice job! Thanks for making this easy. Much appreciated!

[@agleamproductions]

Well done on the explanation! Easy to understand for sure. I like how you go into details of scheduling the arm/disarm, which is big plus.

[@EZTechVidz]

Glad it helped!

[@Peakabike]

Great video thanks, wasn't aware of the photo each hour feature. One aspect you could cover in another video is accessing the recordings on the Sync Module.

[@CaptainRon1913]

Nice job, clear and concise. Setting up a system to keep an eye on my elderly mother and her house.

[@EZTechVidz]

Glad it was helpful!

[@alishashowell]

Same here. It was incredibly helpful

[@cedaroakfarm8596]

Excellent for a true first-time beginner. I also added solar panels and an Echo Show 8.

[@MM-ku4hx]

Thank you for explaining the process you made it look so easy. I about to make my purchase for those cameras.

[@EvilTwin123]

EXCELLENT 👌 Please inform BLINK that you just sold a setup package. You did all the work of explaining the walk through SO THOROUGHLY that it was able to answer 5 additional questions/scenarios I had. If you were in a store, you'd get the commission from the sale You MADE the sale happen. If you keep making videos like this, I'll follow you like a child chasing the ice cream truck 🚒

[@EZTechVidz]

LOL...im glad the video was helpful!

[@MicahtheG]

It’s prime day and I’m considering this for our home..this was perfect. Thanks!

[@Outlandish15]

Dude thanks a lot for saving over a thousand dollars and so for me. I was thinking about Blink but had no knowledge about it now I watched ur video u saved a lot for me thanks dude

[@sandraviades8661]

Thanks to your easy to follow video I was able to do the set up, you were extremely helpful in every step

[@chrispettit5058]

LOVE this video, particularly how I can avoid subscriptions with the thumb drive option on the sync module. Thank you

[@PatrickSkelly-qd7pv]

Excellent video. Made setting up my cameras super easy and quick. Thank you for creating this video.

[@dour2]

quick, concise, and very helpful. thank you

[@stefan3376]

Great explanatory video! one question...what is the maximum distance between the sync module and the cameras? Do the cameras comunicate with the sync module or directly with the wi fi? And then the question should be about the maximum distance between the cameras and the wi fi router?

[@EvilTwin123]

The synch module is the middleman. Wifi--synch synch--cameras Range is a conditional scenario. WiFi range depends on obstacles, metal, radio interference, structures (manmade & natural) That's asking a variable question which is a much deeper technical probe than he can allot time for. You can get WiFi repeaters if you're having issues with network coverage. But the distance of CAMERA TO SYNCH MODULE is a concern. One camera 📸 at the top of driveway with another camera 📸 at the back door will be an issue. All 4 cameras have to reach the Synch Module....and in turn, the synch module must have a WiFi network. *Which can be a hotspot network - even one off your phone but a phone provided hotspot would only work when phone is present and hotspot is on. Like an active camera system when you return home only.

[@kevinwang4870]

Great video! How to turn off the camera? Can you configure the monitoring setting for each camera individually in the app?

[@altagraciatorres1997]

You are the best! My first language is Spanish but I understood everything so clear. Thank you very much. Now I'm going to see if I can do this😊. Thanks again

[@EZTechVidz]

😃

[@BroadcastStories]

Excellent. Thank you. Made the chore of activating Blink cameras EASY.

[@M5Tomm]

Great vid. With the sync module mount and flash drive, are you still able to look at the cameras live feed?

[@EZTechVidz]

Yes

Great video, thank you for thoroughly explaining. Do you know if you can adjust the live viewing time? I just set my system up and noticed that I can only view live for about 30 seconds then it stops. Is this normal?

[@EZTechVidz]

Mine asks if I want to continue viewing every 15 seconds or so

[@vvalencia6759]

Great instructional video. Any idea on the life of the batteries? Thanks

[@FromTheEighties]

they say 2 years. i doubt it but that s what they say ^^'

[@Zini316]

Thank you for the posting this video. Do you recommend getting mounts (silicone or hard shell) for the cameras?

[@EZTechVidz]

I don't have any. A year later they're still fine!

[@Zini316]

@@EZTechVidz any issues with video during in-climate weather? Rain/snow/wind?

Good video. Does the white little reciver stay indoors how far way from cameras will it work

[@rlh125]

I wish I could give this video more than one thumbs up! 👍👍👍

[@dt1133]

Best video about those cameras. Thank you! One quick question with 256gb how much time video can you record?

[@EZTechVidz]

not sure exactly. but depending on your motion settings. you should definitely get a few months before needing to delete footage.

[@thegoodthebadandtheugly9920]

Man, you knocked this how to out of the park!! Thank u!

[@EZTechVidz]

Glad it helped!

[@sabrinajohnson6149]

Very HELPFUL and GREAT with providing INSTRUCTIONS!! THANKS!!

[@Eric-hc9df]

Very well detailed; made it easy for me to install. Thanks brotha.

[@davidwilliams8178]

Great set up video. Really well put together. Is the camera permanently recording or only when it detects motion? And how do you to back and view footage the camera has captured?

[@magaliolson6899]

You did an amazing job Explaining everything .

[@lenwoodlloyd292]

I recently updated my wifi and lost live view on blink. It is hard wired to my door bell. The customer support says my doorbell is not a certain voltage. It worked before. Going to cancel and get something else.

[@sheriwang5908]

Thank you for the thorough setup tutorial!

[@xxcam-02xx24]

If you are using it wirelessly will it only record if it is connected to WiFi?

[@jamiealite]

It’s all internet based. No internet no cameras

[@crzabjj]

Ten out of ten rating. Perfect for anyone to set this system up. Will subscribe out of respect. 🤙🤙

[@aphex14]

Well detailed and straightforward! Thank You!

[@philb5]

What is the range of the camera and how would I extend the range??? Good video

[@Plastik13]

2 questions : If I just want the images to go on the USB that is plugged in the Synchronization thing without using their "cloud", do I have to create an account ? Do I have to use my Wifi router (or does it just use the wifi signal from the synchronization thing) ? Thanks

Great review! Getting my kit in the mail soon!

[@JTPWYLDE]

Thanks for a great straight forward video.

[@TazmanianDevil381]

Great video thanks for making it. If you have these cameras set up with the usb flash drive, are they recording constantly? Or only on motion? And is it easy to rewind and see what has happened previously?

[@EZTechVidz]

Only on motion..it's pretty easy to pull up the video clips in the app

[@TazmanianDevil381]

@@EZTechVidz i see. so you get the motion clips. can you also do live view at any time on the cameras?

[@EZTechVidz]

Yea you can pullup live feed anytime@@TazmanianDevil381

[@DMX-PAT]

What are the drawbacks of the system being "armed" at all times. Do you need to review the stored data/footage on a regular basis, so as to then clear it from the memory stick and does this have any affect on wether or not you leave the system "armed" at all times? If you set-up the entire system and it's running, does it require your cell-phone to work correctly. IE can you turn off your cell or be out of the country and in a no-wifi area for it to still be able to record regularly and work properly?

[@thomasharrison4490]

We live in an apartment and would like to install camera on patio. We hate to drill holes, is it possible to use adhesive to mount?

[@ericevans5435]

how do u creat more systems so i can habe different cameras on different time schedules

[@cavyboy99]

I'm wanting to get these PLUS 4 flood light cameras. Can I add all 8 cameras to the system and sync together. Or can you only put this 4 pack synced together. I wanna be able to add many cameras in the future. I'm new to blink idk

[@robreighter2851]

So impressed! Very helpful. Well done.

I recently purchased the Blink doorbell along with two Blink floodlight cameras. My question is how to display all my cameras in one view in app? Currently I’m having to swipe left to right to see cameras. Please advise thanks in advance

[@EZTechVidz]

I don't know if you can

[@samohteel4393]

I got caught on "looking for device" when linking the sync module. My phone wasn't allowing me to stay connected to a wifi network without an internet connection until changing a setting on my phone.

[@ladybugblu60]

So would I be correct in saying you can hear through these cameras as well

[@EZTechVidz]

Yes

[@glennfriant1817]

how do I get my app to show the videos like yours does. All mine does is show a screen with a arrow and you click the arrow to show the camera. I don't like that it does that. Can I change mine to be like yours?

Excellent Video bro Helped out a lot 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

[@jbocampojo]

How about the battery Life and how often do you charge them?

when i took a picture of the QR code on the camera it didn’t give me the information on the mid it shows blue & Green light and shows when it showed movement at the time but i can’t connect it together to show the live video feed etc… What is going wrong here that’s what i don’t get with the wifi connection isn’t connecting

Can more than 1 phone access the cameras at the same time? For example, my wife and I.

Yea just gotta login to the app with same info
