Introducing Blink Moments (Beta), a new subscription feature that automatically combines motion events recorded within a short timeframe across all cameras into a single clip, making it easy to view an entire moment in time.
Whether it’s your kids playing in the yard, guests arriving for a family gathering, or pets exploring the backyard, Moments seamlessly combines footage from one or multiple cameras into a complete video. This saves you from manually sorting through individual clips, allowing you to quickly view and share a single Moment.
Moments are generated automatically when:
- You have an active Blink Subscription Plus Plan or trial.
- Two or more motion clips or saved live views are recorded:
- From cameras on the same system.
- Within 45 seconds of the start time of the last recorded clip.
Turning Moments On/Off
Moments is enabled by default and can be turned off at any time by visiting the Clip List:
Icon | Status | Description |
---|---|---|
![]() |
On | Clips that meet the criteria will automatically be grouped into Moments. |
![]() |
Off | Previously generated Moments will appear as individual clips in the Clip List. If Moments is turned back on, clips that met the criteria during the off period will be grouped into Moments again. |
