Yes, most Blink cameras come equipped with a built-in LED illuminator. This LED light aids in enhancing night vision and allows the camera to capture clearer images or videos in low-light conditions. It’s worth noting that the light does not stay on continuously; it activates only during motion detection events in low light. For continuous lighting, consider adding external lights in the camera's field of view.
