As seen in the image below, tap the Blink tiny camera as suggested by an arrow. The “Scan QR Code” screen appears, and your camera may ask for permission to scan the QR code. This is a method for automatically entering the serial number. You may also manually input the number. After the device has been identified, it requires a system.

Is it possible to hack the Blink Mini camera?
Blink cameras contain a number of security flaws. Any of these security flaws might allow unauthorized access to the cameras, allowing for spying, snooping, and the theft of film and data. Hackers may even listen in on you with the two-way audio streaming feature.
What is the purpose of the Blink Mini?
The Blink Mini is a plug-in interior HD security camera with two-way communication and infrared night vision that connects to you through the Blink app. You can keep an eye on the inside of your house at any time of day or night.
Is it possible to see live video on a Blink camera?
Live View, as the name implies, allows you to see and hear live video and audio in the Blink app or on some Alexa-enabled devices. Because the camera sends Live View across your Wi-Fi network, the upload speed must be at least 2 MB per second (from your camera to the Blink app).
What's the ideal location for a Blink camera?
