How to Reset a Blink Camera to a New Account

If you’ve recently decided to switch to a new account for your Blink camera system, resetting the device is a straightforward process. Whether you’re upgrading your security setup or simply want to start fresh, this guide will walk you through the steps to reset your Blink camera to a new account.

Step 1: Power Off the Camera

Before you begin the reset process, ensure that your Blink camera is powered off. This will prevent any potential data loss or connection issues during the reset. You can do this by unplugging the camera from the power source or turning off the power switch if your camera has one.

Step 2: Access the Reset Button

Locate the reset button on the back of your Blink camera. This button is usually small and recessed, making it easy to miss. You may need a paperclip or a similar object to press the button.

Step 3: Press and Hold the Reset Button

Press and hold the reset button for about 10 seconds. During this time, the camera’s LED indicator light will start to blink. Continue holding the button until the LED light stops blinking, which indicates that the camera has been successfully reset.

Step 4: Power On the Camera

Once the reset process is complete, reconnect the camera to the power source or turn on the power switch if applicable. The camera should now be powered on and ready for the next step.

Step 5: Set Up the Camera with Your New Account

To set up your Blink camera with a new account, download the Blink app on your smartphone or tablet. Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to create a new account or log in to an existing one. Once you’ve logged in, the app will guide you through the process of adding your camera to the account. This typically involves scanning a QR code displayed on the camera or entering a serial number.

Step 6: Confirm the Camera Setup

After adding your camera to the new account, the app will prompt you to confirm the setup. Follow the instructions to complete the process, which may include testing the camera’s connection and adjusting the camera’s settings.

Congratulations! You have successfully reset your Blink camera to a new account. Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a fresh and secure security setup.
