With Alexa voice commands, you can view the live feed from your Blink cameras on compatible Amazon Echo, Echo Show, Fire TV and Fire Tablet devices.

Starting a Live View

To start a Live View from your Blink camera, simply say ‘Alexa, show [camera name]’. To stop the Live View, say ‘Alexa, stop’, ‘Alexa, end’, ‘Alexa, exit’, ‘Alexa, go home’ or ‘Alexa, hide [camera name]’. Please note that these commands only work with compatible Alexa-enabled screen devices and the Live View will last for 5 minutes.

Starting a Multi-camera Live View

If you have multiple Blink cameras or you have created a Smart Home Group  for Alexa, you can start a Live View that shows all of them by saying ‘Alexa, show my cameras or group name’. Compatible devices (Echo Show 8, 10 and 15) with 2 or more cameras will display a split-screen view of all the cameras at once. Currently, this feature is available in the US, with support for other countries coming soon.

Two-Way Audio

For Blink Video Doorbell users, you can use your Alexa-enabled devices to answer the door and have two-way audio conversations with visitors. To initiate a two-way audio conversation, say ‘Alexa, talk to [Blink Video Doorbell]’, ‘Alexa, answer [Blink Video Doorbell]’ or ‘Alexa, respond to [Blink Video Doorbell]’. To end the conversation, simply say ‘Alexa, stop’.
