Blink Video Doorbell Setup and App Features

[@hcazonis]

Attaching the doorbell to the mount is a little difficult but once it locks into place it seems extremely sturdy. kzbin.infoUgkxxHZwMa8CsRjYhf9s4W8w0Dwm47uytWOp I replaced my regular doorbell with this and hard wired it in, using my existing wires and mechanical chime. It works perfect so far and integrates perfectly with my blink camera system. It also works seamlessly with Alexa

Thanks love the instructions was looking for a new doorbell camera than just Ring

[@AllThingsCool]

glad it helped!

Yes ty...Northern California..lots of skunks possums and 🦌 🦌 🦌. Any help. 6/23/22.

[@jazzman9469]

Thank you for the video. Question, I have motion detection activated, but nothing happens? How far can it pick up motion? Any ideas? Thank you!

[@AllThingsCool]

out to atleast 10 feet but usually much farther check your sensitivty in the menu and what zones are enabled hope this helps

[@aliciaANDanthonySandoval]

App looks better then the geeni app plus more features. 🙂👍

[@AllThingsCool]

yea I always liked the blink and ring apps

[@peggygriffiths]

Thank you! Couldn't figure it out given the instructions

[@josea3312]

How can i open live view threw phone or does it only work when someone rings on the bell or motion detection?

[@malakai-mi6dg]

Live only works if wired or with a module 2 device

[@bannedontherun3908]

Hey man, you better check your instagram notifications at the 12:00 minute mark....LOLOLOLOLOL!

[@brooke8888]

I don’t have sync mode and it only works on event response but it’s not good at catching motion. Ring is so much easier.

[@AllThingsCool]

yea i have 4 blink devices and one ring camera i like the ring doorbell but not the fee. My blink cameras i don't pay a fee so i have more devices and still happy with them but prefer the ring doorbell compared the blink doorbell

[@ThatManChase]

Having issues with live view. It doesn't allow me to view live frames from the app or any alexa device. Am I missing something?

[@shirleyacarr]

I cant figure it out either

[@JT-dz9dq]

I can't see live view either

[@sarimusman2904]

Any fix ?

[@alnitty1142]

You need a sync module and usb witch is sold separately

[@Manzizgoodt23]

Do I need to buy another part for live feed or no

[@AllThingsCool]

I have the sync module at live view works fine

[@Manzizgoodt23]

@@AllThingsCool so what is the sync module for

[@AllThingsCool]

@@Manzizgoodt23 it's a bridge that helps to give ur camera a better signal plus other things. if your camera doesn't have a good wifi signal this may cause a problem with the live view

[@davetech356]

do I need to buy a chime? I have a echo? where does it ring sorry new to this as I have one on the way lol

[@AllThingsCool]

your phone will be alerted and it can be connected to your alexa devices

[@Chasecka]

Mine doesn’t have the video live on my main screen. It only lets me watch live when someone walks up or rings the bell. I want to look at my camera whenever I want. I am using batteries and I also am on a free trial is that why?

[@AllThingsCool]

not sure but I can watch live when ever I want by clicking the video camera icon

[@lilimartinez7211]

Same problem I am having

[@jm6ney794]

I’m having the same problem. I can’t get a live View only when someone walks up close. I want a constant view of what’s going on. Am I missing something in the settings??

[@Chasecka]

@@jm6ney794 So I finally figured out if you are using battery instead of hardwired it won’t let you have the option to watch live when you want. The only way is if you hardwire it. It’s extremely stupid in my opinion. If I want to use my battery watching it live then let me. So what if I use the batteries faster.

[@kell480]

@@Chasecka FWIW my door bell isn't hardwired and I can view live footage. I'm just taking a shot in the dark but maybe it's a feature of the Plus Plan and I'm still in the trial window so I have access to it. Devices with no plan are not able to view live streaming. However if the hardwire worked for you it's a decent work around if you don't have a plan.

[@jasminedouglas8980]

What’s the disarmed and armed mean ?

[@AllThingsCool]

to disable the cameras or to turn them on.

[@kuowenaquino7732]

Does it not have a Blink Chime box? Some of the doorbell camera I’ve watched offers a chime box. My question is if I don’t hard wire it, will I hear a doorbell noise when someone press on the button or will I just get a notification on my phone?!

[@AllThingsCool]

notification on phone

I was told no and bought a cord to get the live feed and still don’t have it as an option

[@shirleyacarr]

does live feed work? I cant figure out how to do it.

For users not using a subscription can only see there feed if doorbell is rung or activity is happening on front but can't be summond on command 🤔 hope that helps

[@andreaespin8758]

Does blink offer the feature where I can talk through it if someone rings the doorbell? If so, how do I do that

[@AllThingsCool]

Yes it does I demonstrate it in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYvRY5yahcd0qLM there should be a speaker Icon in the app

[@rodneyrainey2021]

Thanks for the video but I choose battery also over wired connection but is thier a way to make your phone ring when someone presses the bell?

[@ChinkyChan]

It takes a second but I just set mine up & if your phone volume is up it will ring if someone rings the doorbell.

[@andreasm9102]

You need a indoor cam for the indoor chime

[@zoprice4096]

I purchased in 2022 and it comes with the wedge when you buy the entire kit.

[@carlylinen2916]

why is the chime on the doorbell so loud? my neighbors across the street can hear it, is there a way to turn the chime volume down? not the volume on phone, but the actual device that's by the door?

[@AllThingsCool]

hmmm I don't think so maybe with an update they can add that to the app

[@clutch2827]

Just got one and it is very slow to acquire an image on the app. The doorbell is about 6 feet away from one of the best routers money can buy too.

Do you recommend blink or the ring doorbell?

[@dctvtweeder4]

Is there away to sync the doorbell to an alexa smart speaker so it rings on the speaker as well?

Yes we just got one and it can be setup though an Alexa skill

[@jameshudson5112]

When you have blink cloud the clips backup once a day to local storage but are only viewable by ejecting the usb storage device and opening them on your pc not available through the app unless you cancel the cloud subscription with no cloud subscription clips are stored on the sync module 2 usb storage but canceling cloud subscription you lose live video recording and hourly clips

If anyone can help. I bought the Blink doorbell. I set it up in the blink app. Then going to the alexa app, the doorbell is "recognised" as a security system and not camera device which means I don't have the announcements options in the device settings on the alexa app.

[@Kweenseven]

Ok, so I’m not going crazy. Only SOME people who have a blink doorbell, have the option to turn off the LED light when it’s recording on the doorbell!!! So far I’ve had 2 doorbells allow me, & 2 doorbells don’t allow me to turn it off whatsoever!!! It allows everyone to know when my camera is no longer recording, which signals them to pretty much run wild and free for 10 seconds and KNOW my camera isn’t recording!!! I don’t like it! i want my LED status OFF at all times so they’re not aware of how long my camera is really recording for!!

[@Kweenseven]

Been looking for a forum to help me, and everyone else’s videos just keep showing the LED status. This is the first video I’ve found finally, that someone does NOT have this option, just like me.
