Yes, your Blink camera can record all night, but it depends on the specific model and settings. Most Blink outdoor cameras are motion-activated and designed to conserve battery life, meaning they only record when motion is detected. However, with Blink’s subscription plan, you can enable the Live View feature to record continuously. Additionally, ensuring your camera is plugged in and not solely relying on battery power is essential for all-night recording.
