Troubleshooting Blink Camera Motion Detection Issues

Hey everyone! :wave: I’ve been having some trouble with my Blink cameras lately, and I’m hoping someone here can shed some light on the issue. I’ve reached out to Blink support, but unfortunately, they weren’t able to help me out. So, I’m turning to the community for some expert advice!

A few weeks ago, I set up my Blink cameras with a custom schedule, adjusting the time zone to match my location in Venezuela (GMT -4). I based this on the closest available time zones in the Blink app, which were America/Puerto Rico and America/St. Lucia. Everything seemed to be working smoothly at first—my cameras were arming and disarming according to the schedule I set. However, recently, I’ve noticed that the motion detection feature is going off even when it’s supposed to be disarmed. This is pretty frustrating, especially since I rely on these cameras for monitoring my property.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  • Double-checked the time zone settings in the Blink app.
  • Verified that the schedule is correctly set to disarm from Monday to Friday at 7:30 AM and arm at 4:00 PM.
  • Ensured that all other settings are configured properly, with only the weekly schedule showing a white rectangle during the disarmed period.

Despite all these checks, I’m still receiving notifications from the Blink app saying, “There is a person at your Room.” It’s as if the cameras aren’t respecting the schedule I’ve set. I’m starting to wonder if there’s a bug in the app or if there’s something I’m missing in the configuration.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues with their Blink cameras? I’d love to hear if there are any workarounds or additional steps I can take to resolve this. Maybe there’s a setting I haven’t explored yet or a different approach to scheduling that could help. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help! :pray:
