If you have a blink camera, it’s normal to get a flashing red light from time to time. This can indicate a number of different things, from a low battery to a connection issue with your Wi-Fi.
The first thing to do is reset your blink camera. This is easy to do, and it will put the device back into its factory settings (provided no physical damage has happened to it).
Reset the camera
When you notice your Blink camera flashing red 6 times, it usually means that the battery is low. It may also be a sign that your Wi-Fi connection is not working properly.
The best way to get this problem solved is to reset the camera. This will reset it to factory settings and re-connect it to your Wi-Fi network.
You can reset the camera by pushing and holding the reset button for 5 seconds. You can use a paperclip or another thin object to press the button.
After the reset process is completed, your camera should stop blinking red lights.
If you are still having issues with your Blink outdoor camera, there is a good chance that it’s time to perform a factory reset. This will delete all data and custom settings, so it’s important to remember to set everything up again once the camera is fully reset.
Check the battery
When your Blink camera flashes red 6 times, it may be a sign that the battery is dying. You can check the battery on your Blink app to see how long it will last.
To avoid this, keep track of how often you change the batteries and replace them before they die. This will help you save money and prevent problems in the future.
If you notice the blink camera flashing red, it could be due to a faulty battery or loss of internet connection. Either way, it’s important to address the issue immediately.
In either case, you can quickly fix the problem by following these simple steps. First, you should perform a power cycle to reset your camera.
Check the Wi-Fi connection
Wi-Fi is a wireless technology that allows devices like phones, laptops and desktop computers to connect to a router and receive an internet connection.
Blink cameras use Wi-Fi to transmit video and image data. When the camera detects motion, it will flash a red light.
When you have the red light blinking, it means your Blink camera is either not connected to the internet or has low batteries.
If your camera is not connected to the internet, it will not be able to record any footage.
To fix this issue, you need to check the Wi-Fi connection.
If you don’t have a Wi-Fi connection, your Blink camera will not be able to transmit video or images. This may happen if your household WiFi is not working or if the Blink camera is disconnected from the Sync Module.
Check the sync module
If your camera is flashing red 6 times, there are a couple of possible reasons. One is a battery issue, and the other is the sync module.
The blink camera’s Sync Module helps relay commands and network details to other devices that are synced with it. When it’s working properly, the signal is strong and information flows easily.
However, if the Sync Module is offline, it means that there’s a problem with the device itself or the network connection. This could be the result of a weak wireless signal, or even something as simple as the module being too far away from a device that needs to be connected.
If you’re not sure what the problem is, you can reset your Sync Module to factory settings. The hard factory reset button can be found on the right side of the Sync Module, near the USB port.
