Answered by Edward Huber

To set your Blink camera in a new location, follow these steps:

1. Start by accessing the Camera Settings on your Blink app. Open the app on your smartphone or tablet and navigate to the Camera Settings screen.

2. Scroll down to the bottom of the Camera Settings screen, where you will find the option to “Change Wi-Fi.” Tap on it to proceed.

3. In the Change Wi-Fi screen, you will see instructions on how to reset your camera. The first step is to press and release the reset button on the camera. This button is usually located on the back or bottom of the camera.

4. Press and release the reset button on the camera and wait for the lights to flash. The lights will initially turn red and blue, indicating that the camera is resetting.

5. Keep an eye on the lights. When the camera is ready to be set up in a new location, the lights will display a specific pattern. Look for the lights to blink blue and then turn steady green. This indicates that the camera is ready to connect to a new Wi-Fi network.

6. Once the lights on the camera indicate that it is ready, go back to the Blink app on your smartphone or tablet. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect the camera to a new Wi-Fi network.

7. The app will guide you through the process of selecting the new Wi-Fi network and entering the password. Make sure you have the correct network name and password handy.

8. After entering the Wi-Fi network details, the app will attempt to connect the camera to the new network. Wait for the connection process to complete. It may take a few moments.

9. Once the camera is successfully connected to the new Wi-Fi network, you can choose a new location for it. Find a suitable spot where you want to place the camera and mount it securely.

10. Ensure that the camera is positioned in a way that captures the desired area and has a clear line of sight. Adjust the angle and direction of the camera as needed.

11. test the camera by accessing the live view on the Blink app. Make sure you can see the desired area and that the camera is functioning properly in its new location.

Congratulations! You have successfully set up your Blink camera in a new location. Remember to repeat these steps for any additional cameras you want to move or set up in new locations.
