If your Blink camera's night vision is not working, ensure that the IR LED is clean and unobstructed. A dirty or blocked IR LED can prevent the camera from capturing clear images in low light. Additionally, check the camera's settings in the app to make sure night vision is enabled. If problems persist, resetting the camera or adjusting its placement to avoid reflective surfaces and direct light sources might help. Lastly, consider checking for any firmware updates that could resolve the issue.
