If your Blink camera is not recording at night, it could be due to insufficient light or incorrect motion detection settings. Firstly, ensure the area is well-lit or consider adding external lighting to improve visibility. Secondly, check the camera's settings to make sure the motion sensitivity is adjusted appropriately for nighttime recording. Also, verify that the infrared (IR) night vision setting is enabled. Sometimes, adjusting the camera's position or angle can help capture better footage at night. If problems persist, it might be worthwhile to contact customer support for further assistance.
