If you can't see anything on your Blink camera at night, it's likely due to the infrared (IR) night vision feature being disabled or obstructed. Ensure the camera's night vision is activated in the settings. Additionally, check for any obstructions or objects blocking the camera's view. If the issue persists, consider adjusting the camera's placement to enhance visibility or contacting customer support for further assistance.
