Blink cameras <\/strong>make monitoring your home easy with wireless setup and battery power. Sometimes, you may need to deregister a Blink camera from your account, whether replacing a faulty device, upgrading models, or reorganizing your system. Deregistering removes the camera from your Blink app so it no longer associates with your account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow this straightforward guide to deregister your Blink cameras properly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Check the Camera Status in the App<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Open the Blink app and go to the Devices page to view your registered cameras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check the status of the specific camera you want to deregister. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure it shows as “Online” or “Connected” so you can complete the deregistration process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it shows as “Offline,” you may need to troubleshoot connection issues first before deregistering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Disconnect the Camera Power<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start the deregistration process by disconnecting your camera’s power supply. For battery-powered models, remove the batteries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For wired devices, unplug the cable from the outlet or sync module. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will immediately prevent the camera from communicating further with your Blink account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Delete the Camera From Your Account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Go to the Device Settings menu in your Blink app with the camera powered off. Select the specific camera you need to deregister. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose the option to delete or remove this device from your Blink account. Confirm that you want to delete the camera when prompted permanently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Reset the Camera Itself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After deleting the camera from your app, you’ll also need to reset the device itself. This clears any connection between the camera and your account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refer to your specific Blink camera manual for reset instructions. Generally, you’ll locate a small reset button on the camera module<\/a> and press this for several seconds using a pin tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5: Wait for Reset Indication<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Keep holding the reset button until the camera red LED light starts rapidly blinking. This indicates the reset is in progress. Hold for 10-15 seconds until the light turns solid again, then release the reset button. The camera is now reset and unassociated from your Blink account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 6: Pair Camera with New Account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If deregistering a still functional Blink camera you want to use elsewhere; you can now pair it to a new Blink account. Power on and access the setup mode for the camera, then follow the in-app prompts to sync to a new account. The camera previously reset will not connect back to your old account after deregistration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What To do If Your Blink Camera Doesn’t Deregister? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your Blink camera doesn’t deregister due to connectivity problems, you may need to troubleshoot first before removing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check the camera battery<\/strong> or power connections<\/strong> to make sure it has consistent power. Move the camera closer to the WiFi router if the signal is weak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspect the camera for any physical damage inhibiting connections. Retry deregistering once any issues are resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What To Do After Deregistering a Blink camera<\/strong>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After successfully deregistering your Blink camera in the app and performing a factory reset, take down any mounting equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For indoor cameras using stands or wall mounts<\/a>, carefully detach these accessories. For outdoor cameras, remove any exterior screws, brackets, or adapters used for installation. Patch any holes and repaint if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Happen after I Deregisterd my Blink camera? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the camera deregistered, any related video footage and motion alerts will no longer be available in your Blink app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For records, consider saving important video clips before deleting the camera. Adjust your notification settings so you don’t keep receiving alerts for a non-functioning device. Removing the camera cleanly breaks its ties to your account settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Manage Blink Subscription after Deregistering <\/strong>it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have an active Blink subscription plan allowing a set number of cameras, update your subscription after deregistering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Access Blink subscription settings and change the number of cameras allowed to reflect your new lower amount of registered devices accurately. You’ll avoid paying for unused subscription capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add Replacement Cameras If Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If deregistering a defective camera, consider adding a replacement Blink device to maintain monitoring coverage. After deleting the faulty camera, register a new Blink module following the standard in-app set up process. Position it similarly to your old camera to preserve your coverage zones<\/a>. Syncing a replacement camera into your system is straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deregistering a Blink camera cleanly removes it from your account, allowing you to upgrade devices, restructure your system or replace malfunctioning units. Follow the step-by-step guide for smooth deregistration and resetting. You can remove cameras and realign your home security system with a few simple app adjustments and hardware resets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
