The blue light on your ADT camera indicates that it has successfully acquired the necessary information from your router to connect to the network. However, the fact that the light is blinking suggests that the network connection is poor or unstable. This can be due to various reasons, such as distance from the router, interference from other devices, or obstacles blocking the signal.
In my personal experience, I have encountered situations where the blue light on my ADT camera would blink, indicating a weak network connection. One instance was when I had placed the camera in a room that was quite far from the router. Despite having a good signal strength in other parts of the house, the camera struggled to maintain a stable connection. Moving the camera closer to the router resolved the issue in this case.
Interference from other devices can also affect the network connection of your ADT camera. For example, if you have multiple devices operating on the same frequency band, such as Wi-Fi routers, cordless phones, or baby monitors, they can cause interference and disrupt the camera’s connection. In such cases, repositioning the camera away from these devices or switching to a less crowded frequency band can help improve the network stability.
Obstacles between the camera and the router can also weaken the network signal, leading to a blinking blue light. Thick walls, metal objects, or even large furniture can obstruct the Wi-Fi signal and reduce its strength. To address this, you can try relocating the camera to a position where there are fewer obstacles in the signal path, allowing for better network connectivity.
Furthermore, it is worth noting that the blinking blue light may also indicate temporary network issues or connectivity disruptions. In such cases, the camera may regain a stable connection on its own after a brief period. However, if the blinking persists for an extended period or occurs frequently, it may be necessary to troubleshoot the network or contact your internet service provider for assistance.
To summarize, the blinking blue light on your ADT camera indicates a poor network connection. This can be due to factors such as distance from the router, interference from other devices, or obstacles blocking the signal. By adjusting the camera’s position, minimizing interference, and ensuring a clear signal path, you can improve the network stability and eliminate the blinking blue light.
