Step 1: Choose the Right Location
The first step in mounting your Blink indoor camera is to choose the right location. Consider the following factors when selecting a spot:
– Visibility: Ensure the camera has a clear line of sight to the area you want to monitor.
– Power Source: Check that the chosen location has access to a power outlet or a battery-powered alternative.
– Mounting Surface: Choose a flat, sturdy surface that can support the weight of the camera.
Step 2: Gather the Necessary Tools
Before you begin, gather the following tools:
– Drill and drill bits
– Screwdriver
– Mounting bracket (provided with the camera)
– screws (also provided with the camera)
Step 3: Attach the Mounting Bracket
Attach the mounting bracket to the back of the camera using the provided screws. Make sure the bracket is securely fastened to the camera and that it is oriented in the desired direction.
