Tips
Understand the camera’s field of view
Before installing the Blink cameras, it's important to understand the camera’s field of view.
This will help you determine the best placement for the camera to maximize the monitoring area. The Blink Home Monitor app also provides a live video feed, which allows you to see the camera’s current field of view.
Adjust motion detection settings
Motion detection is a key feature of the Blink Home Monitor app that can help you detect potential intruders or other issues in a timely manner. However, if the detection settings are too sensitive, it can lead to false alarms, which can take up your time and bandwidth. Using the settings feature of the Blink Home Monitor app, you can easily adjust the sensitivity and areas of motion detection.
Create activity zones
If your Blink Home Monitor cameras cover a large area, you can use the activity zones feature to specify specific monitoring areas. This way, the camera will only perform motion detection within the activity zone, reducing false alarms and saving bandwidth. To create activity zones, select “Settings” in the app, then select “Camera Settings” and “Activity Zones”.
