This article shows you how to enable Temperature Alerts and calibrate the camera’s temperature sensor.
Note: The Blink Mini camera and Blink Video Doorbell don’t have temperature sensors; therefore, you won’t see this option in their Settings.
Enabling Temperature Alerts
- To enable Temperature Alerts, tap the More button located in the lower-right corner of the device thumbnail to access Device Settings and select General Settings.
- Select Temperature and tap the toggle next to Enable Temperature Alert to turn on alerts.
- Next, set your desired temperature thresholds. Repeat this process for any other cameras you wish to receive Temperature Alerts from.
- Heat Alert can be set as high as 90°F (32.2°C).
- Cold Alert can be set as low as 40°F (4.4°C).
Calibrating your camera’s temperature sensor
If you find that your camera’s temperature reading isn’t accurate, use the Camera Temperature under the CALIBRATE section. Place your camera near a thermometer and leave the camera there for at least 15 minutes. Adjust the camera’s temperature to match your thermometer by tapping the plus or minus buttons.
Fahrenheit and Celsius
- Next, tap on Temperature Units and select either Fahrenheit or Celsius.
