If your Blink camera is triggering every hour, it might be due to incorrect motion sensitivity settings or scheduled arm/disarm settings. First, adjust the motion sensitivity in the Blink app to prevent false triggers. If the issue persists, check if there are any scheduled arm/disarm settings that might be activating the camera unintentionally. Lastly, ensure the camera is positioned away from heat sources or objects that could cause changes in the environment, as these can also trigger alerts.
FAQs & Answers
- Why does my Blink camera keep detecting motion when nothing is there? False motion alerts can be caused by high motion sensitivity, environmental changes like moving shadows or heat sources, or improper camera placement. Adjusting sensitivity and repositioning the camera can help reduce false detections.
- How do I adjust the motion sensitivity on my Blink camera? Open the Blink app, select your camera, go to settings, and adjust the motion detection sensitivity slider to a lower or higher level depending on your needs to prevent false alarms.
