Top 5 Steps to Successfully Connect Your Blink Camera to a New Wi-Fi Network
If you’ve recently changed your Wi-Fi network or are setting up a new Blink camera, connecting it to your Wi-Fi is essential for seamless operation. In this article, we’ll walk you through the top five steps to successfully connect your Blink camera to a new Wi-Fi network, ensuring that you can continue monitoring your home without interruption.
Step 1: Gather Your Equipment and Information
Before starting the connection process, make sure you have everything you need on hand. You will require your Blink camera, smartphone, and the updated Wi-Fi network credentials including the network name (SSID) and password. It’s important that the smartphone is connected to the same new Wi-Fi network during this setup.
Step 2: Open the Blink App
Launch the Blink app on your smartphone. If you haven’t yet installed it, download it from either the App Store for iOS devices or Google Play Store for Android devices. Once opened, log into your account or create one if you’re using Blink for the first time.
Step 3: Access Camera Settings
In your Blink app, navigate to ‘Settings’ by tapping on the gear icon usually found in the lower right corner of your screen. From there, select ‘Camera Settings’ of the specific camera that needs to be connected to a new Wi-Fi network.
Step 4: Change Wi-Fi Network
Under Camera Settings, find and tap on ‘Change Wi-Fi Network’. The app will search for available networks; ensure that you’re still within range of your new router. When prompted, enter your new SSID and password accurately since any mistake will hinder connectivity.
Step 5: Test Connection and Finalize Setup
After entering your new credentials correctly, tap ‘Connect’ or ‘Save’. The app should notify you once it has successfully connected to the new Wi-Fi network. To confirm everything is working properly, check if you can view live feeds from your Blink camera within the app.
Connecting your Blink camera to a new Wi-Fi network doesn’t have to be a daunting task if you follow these simple steps. By ensuring that all details are accurate and using these guidelines as a reference point, you’ll be back online in no time—ready to keep an eye on what matters most.
