Step 4: Set Up Your Blink Sync Module
Before we get to the camera, we need to set up the Blink Sync Module (this is like the brain of your Blink system). Plug the Sync Module into a power outlet using the included cable and adapter. Make sure you are in a spot where the Wi-Fi is strong.

Wait for the Sync Module to begin blinking blue, with the green light remaining steady. Once it does this, tap Discover Device. The Sync Module will generate a Wi-Fi network that begins with BLINK-XXXX. Tap* Join*.
Step 5: Connect the Sync module to Wi-Fi
After the Sync Module joins the Blink network, you'll see a list of 2.4GHz networks within range. Tap BOATER WIFI and enter wireless for the password. if successful, you'll receive a notification that a new Sync Module has been added to the system. Tap Done.

After scanning, the app will ask you to name your camera (like "Front Door" or "Backyard"). Once you’ve named it, the app will search for your camera and connect it to your Wi-Fi.
Step 7: If the camera is found and added, you will see a message at the top of the screen that says, "Camera added successfully." Tap Next.
And there you go! Your Blink camera is now connected to Wi-Fi, and you're ready to keep an eye on things. If you ever get stuck, just take a deep breath, retrace your steps, or contact us for extra help.
