How to Fix Blink Camera Night Vision Not Working

Does your Blink camera have trouble capturing sharp images at night? Using infrared (IR) light, the night vision capability enables your camera to "see" in total darkness or low light. Here's what you can do if blink camera night vision not working.

1. Verify the Night Vision Configuration

• Launch the app for Blink Home Monitor:
• Tap the gear icon to see your camera's settings.
• Make sure that "Auto" or "On" is selected when you scroll to "Night Vision."
• Your camera won't go into infrared mode in the dark if it is set to "Off."

2. Clear the lens of the camera

The infrared light may be blocked by dirt, dust, or water droplets on the camera lens. Make sure nothing is covering the lens by gently wiping it with a soft cloth.

3. Verify the functionality of the IR LED

You might notice a slight red glow on the camera lens when night vision is turned on and it's dark. The IR LED may not be functioning if you are unable to see it.

4: Make Use of More Lighting

The IR feature is useful, but it has limitations. Try placing a gentle external light source close by to improve the camera's vision if the space is too big or open.

5: Positioning the Camera

Do not position the camera behind glass or windows. Infrared light is reflected by glass, which results in glare and blurry night vision. For optimal results, position the camera outside or away from glass panes.

6. Restart the camera or reset it.

Rebooting occasionally resolves small issues. Unplug and re-plug the camera if it requires a power adapter, or take out and put back the batteries.

7: Update the Firmware and Apps

• Verify that the Blink app and camera firmware are current. Bugs are frequently fixed and camera performance is enhanced by updates.
• You might need to get in touch with Blink customer service if none of these solutions resolve the issue. It could be necessary to replace or repair the broken infrared bulb.
• In conclusion, a setting, lens, or location issue is typically the cause of a malfunctioning night vision feature on your Blink camera. Your night vision should return to normal with a few brief checks.
