    • Night vision: Toggle night vision on or off.
    • Privacy zones: Create areas within the camera's view that you want to exclude from recording.

Adjusting Advanced Settings:

For more in-depth adjustments, you can access the Advanced Settings section within the Blink app. Here, you can:

  • Customize motion detection zones: Define specific areas where you want your camera to detect motion.
  • Set up scheduling: Schedule your camera to record only during certain times of the day.

Let's say you want to make your camera more sensitive to movement. You would follow these steps:

  1. Open the Blink app and select your camera.
  2. Tap the gear icon to access the settings menu.
  3. Find the Motion Detection Sensitivity option.
