How to improve motion capture?
You’ve got the wrong camera really. The outdoor 4 is built for long battery life so it’s always asleep until something triggers the passive infrared (PIR) sensor then it wakes up. These don’t have a long range. You need a Blink Mini 2 with outdoor cable (not expensive but extra) which uses pixel mat

Add on camera failing to join sync module.
Exchange it. It’s most likely defective. I couldn’t add two brand new outdoor 4 cameras to my system a week after I added a brand new doorbell and brand new outdoor 4. The Blink tech team had me do the same troubleshooting steps for each camera with no success. I ended up returning them. I purchased

How does the people recognition function work?
For non-blink cameras (like Reolink cameras) they use complicated computer vision to work out what a 'person' (or pet, or car) looks like. They often do it in black and white and if you've screened any privacy areas off they're excluded too to save processing power. They may also only do this on a f

Brand new Blink - batteries dead after two weeks
Absolutely not true about Blink saying batteries can last up to 2 years. I have new Outdoor4 and have replaced the batteries in one of them 2 times in a month. Support will say they are in a high traffic area, or in extreme weather conditions, but confirm that the settings are good.at this pace, I n
