How to Share Blink Camera Access to Another Phone
In today’s fast-paced world, security and surveillance have become increasingly important. With the advent of smart home devices, such as the Blink camera, it’s easier than ever to keep an eye on your property or loved ones. However, sharing access to your Blink camera with another phone can be a bit tricky. In this article, we will guide you through the process of how to share Blink camera access to another phone, ensuring that you can monitor your surroundings from any device.
Step 1: Log in to Your Blink Account
The first step in sharing your Blink camera access is to log in to your Blink account on the Blink app. If you haven’t already installed the app, download it from the App Store or Google Play Store and create an account. Once logged in, you will be able to view all your connected cameras and manage their settings.
Step 2: Select the Camera You Want to Share
Navigate to the camera you want to share access to by tapping on its thumbnail image. Once you have selected the camera, tap on the three dots located at the top right corner of the screen. This will open a menu with various options, including “Share Access.”
Step 3: Choose the Phone to Share With
After selecting “Share Access,” you will be prompted to choose the phone with which you want to share the camera. You can search for the recipient’s phone by entering their email address or phone number. Once you have found the desired phone, tap “Next.”
Step 4: Set Permissions
In this step, you will be able to set the permissions for the shared access. You can choose to grant full access, which allows the recipient to view live video, access recorded clips, and receive notifications. Alternatively, you can choose to grant read-only access, which only allows the recipient to view live video and recorded clips. Once you have set the permissions, tap “Next.”
Step 5: Send the Invitation
The app will generate a unique link for the shared access. You can choose to send this link via email, text message, or any other preferred method. The recipient will receive the link and can tap on it to accept the invitation and gain access to the shared camera.
Step 6: Manage Shared Access
As the owner of the shared camera, you can manage the shared access at any time. To do this, go to the camera’s settings and tap on “Shared Access.” Here, you can see a list of devices that have access to the camera. You can remove a device by tapping on the “X” icon next to its name.
By following these simple steps, you can easily share Blink camera access to another phone. This allows you to keep an eye on your property or loved ones from any device, ensuring peace of mind and convenience.
