If your Blink camera is black at night, it might be due to inadequate lighting in the camera's environment. Blink cameras rely on their infrared (IR) night vision to record in low light. To fix this, ensure there are no obstacles blocking the camera's view and consider adding external lighting or adjusting the camera's placement to enhance night-time footage visibility. If the problem persists, checking the camera's night vision settings in the app or contacting customer support could provide a resolution.
