Removing a camera from your Blink system is a straightforward process managed through the Blink mobile application.
Steps to Remove a Camera from Your Blink System
To remove a specific camera from your Blink setup, follow these simple steps directly within the Blink app:
- Access Device Options: From the Home screen of your Blink app, locate the thumbnail for the device (camera) you wish to remove. Tap the More button, typically found in the lower-right corner of that device's thumbnail.
- Navigate to Device Settings: In the menu that appears, tap Device Settings. This section contains various configurations for your selected camera.
- Open General Settings: Within the Device Settings menu, select General Settings.
- Initiate Deletion: Scroll to the bottom of the General Settings screen. You will find and tap the Delete Device option.
- Confirm Removal: A confirmation message will pop up to ensure you intended to delete the camera. Tap Delete Device again to finalize the process.
After confirming the deletion, the camera will be removed from your account and system. You will be redirected back to the Blink app's Home screen, where the camera's thumbnail will no longer appear.
Important Considerations:
- Deleting a device from the app removes it from your Blink account. This means you will no longer be able to view its footage, access its settings, or receive notifications from it.
- If you intend to sell or give away a camera, deleting it is a necessary step to allow the new owner to add it to their own account.
- If you are troubleshooting and plan to re-add the camera later, you will need to go through the setup process again after deletion.
This process effectively disconnects the camera from your specific Blink system and user account.
