To access your camera on Blink, you simply use the Live View feature available within the Blink mobile application.
Accessing Your Blink Camera Via Live View
The primary way to see what your Blink camera is recording in real-time is through the Live View function in the Blink app. This allows you to connect to a specific camera and watch a live video feed directly on your mobile device.
Here are the steps based on using the Blink app:
- Start from the home screen: Open the Blink app on your smartphone or tablet. You will land on the home screen which displays a view of your connected Blink system(s).
- Locate your camera: On the home screen, you will see a list or grid of your cameras, each represented by a camera thumbnail.
- Tap the play button: Each thumbnail has a play button at its center. To initiate Live View from a specific camera, simply tap the play button.
Once you tap the play button, the app will attempt to establish a connection with that camera. If successful, you will then see the live video feed from your camera.
This process is straightforward and designed for quick access to check in on your property or monitor activity.
In summary: Accessing your camera on Blink is as easy as opening the app and tapping the play button on the desired camera's thumbnail on the home screen to start Live View.
