Blink cameras are some of the best mid-range smart cameras available in 2023. Everything in the Blink line is easy to install, easy to use, and offers everything you want in a security camera, like motion alerts, night vision, and high definition video recording.
However, if you are preparing to sell the devices or are experiencing technical issues, consider resetting your Blink cameras. This process is as easy as the initial setup, although it varies slightly from camera to camera. Here’s a closer look at how to reset Blink cameras and reconnect them to Wi-Fi.
Is there a reset button on Blink cameras?
All Blink cameras have a reset button somewhere. Although for cameras that connect to a sync module, I would reset the module instead of resetting the camera. The reset button on the Blink Mini restores the device to factory settings.
How to reset most Blink cameras
Most Blink cameras (indoor, outdoor, XT and XT2) require a Blink Sync module to work and connect to your phone or other devices. The Sync module is what connects all cameras to the Internet. However, instead of having to reset your cameras, you can simply reset the module and then add cameras back to it. Note that you may want to power the modem and sync module back on before resorting to a system reset.
Step 1 – Press and hold the reset button on the side of the sync module until the LED starts blinking red.
Step 2 – Release the button and wait for the LED to flash green and blue.
Step 3: The sync module is now in configuration mode. All cameras will now be offline.
Step 4 – Remove the Blink App Sync Module.

How to reset Blink Mini
The Blink Mini is a bit different from the other cameras in the company’s lineup because it doesn’t need to be connected to a sync module. Instead, there’s a small reset button at the bottom of the camera. You can use this button if your camera does not connect to the Internet or you have other problems.
Step 1 – Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds.
Step 2 – The camera should now be reset to factory settings.
How to reconnect the Blink camera to Wi-Fi
After your system restarts, you will need to reinstall the Sync Module in the Blink app to reconnect to Wi-Fi. As stated above, you can only reset your system after you reset it and remove it from the app.
Step 1 – Open the Blink app.
Step 2 – Tap the + sign.
Step 3: Choose Blinking wireless system.
Step 4: Scan or enter the serial number of the synchronization module.
Step 5: Select your Blink system and tap discover devices.
Step 6 – Tap Join and Made.
These are all the steps you’ll need to reset your Blink system if it’s having problems, shows that it’s offline, or if you’re selling it to a new owner. Please note that you must first power on the system before restarting it if problems occur.
