What Is The Range Of The Blink Camera

Indicate Strengths

The Blink system relies on having proficient signal strengths for optimal functioning of Live View feeds, uploading move clips, and sending alerts. To avoid operation issues, it is disquisitional for the Sync Module and each camera to show 3 confined of connectivity.

Sync Module

The Sync Module receives information from the Glimmer servers through your local Wi-Fi, and sends commands to system devices with a Low Frequency Radio (LFR). Cameras receive information from the Sync Module, then ship images and notifications through your local Wi-Fi. For optimal functioning, your camera must show three bars of signal forcefulness from your Sync Module in addition to the three bars of signal strength to Wi-Fi.

Obstacles and distance reduce betoken strength. Putting your Sync Module backside dumbo edifice materials such as brick, rock, concrete, steel, and aluminum can interfere with signal strength. Some examples of a poor location arebehind a goggle box, inside a basement or attic or on meridian of your wireless router. Click here to learn more about trouble shooting connectivity bug.

We recommend positioning your Sync Module in a primal location, where it can receive equally good signals from your Wi-Fi router and your cameras. In some instances, you may need re-locate your camera.

Sync Module Range

Assuming standard structure techniques (single building, no unusually dense construction materials) the Sync Module should be able to communicate with Blink cameras upwardly to (and possibly over) 100' away in any direction. We also recommend keeping the Sync Module near your wireless router for all-time signal forcefulness. The goal is to have 'iii bars' of signal connectivity at the Sync Module and each camera as depicted on the Sync Module screen in the Blink app.

Cameras

Equally stated, it is critical for the system to take 3 bars of bespeak strength. Anything less can exhibit intermittent problems with the performance of your system. Its important to annotation that the cameras utilize two types of signals for communication:

LFR - a.thousand.a "Low Frequency Radio", is the point that cameras share with the Sync Module
Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) - is the indicate that the cameras share with your wireless router

Obstacles and distance are the biggest contributors to poor signals. Weak signal to your Sync Module can outcome in missed or delayed actions when attempting to view your cameras, and poor Wi-Fi volition result in failed motility clips and rapid battery drain.

Note:Mini cameras do not rely upon Sync Modules to function. The chief consideration; therefore, is the distance the Mini is placed from your Wi-Fi router.

Where to find Point Strengths

For your Sync Module, navigate to your Blink App home screen and tap its icon. This will nowadays the Sync Module menu which immediately shows y'all it'southward signal forcefulness.

Sync Module menu

For your cameras, tap the camera settings icon iii lined icon next to your photographic camera's nickname. This volition present the Camera Settings screen. Roll down and tap the "Update"button to pull the latest readings for both the Camera to Sync Module and Wi-Fi categories.
