Person Detection is a Blink Subscription Plan feature available for Blink Mini 2, Outdoor 4, Wired Floodlight and the Video Doorbell (2nd Gen). This feature uses computer vision to differentiate motion triggered by a person, making it convenient to review person-related activity and reduce unwanted person-triggered motion events.
Turning Person Detection on/off
To turn Person Detection on or off:
- Open the Blink app and tap the More (⋯) button on the camera thumbnail from the Home screen.
- Select Device Settings, then Motion Settings.
- Tap Motion Recording Types.
- Check the box for Person Detection.
- Tap Save to apply your changes.
Note: To turn Person Detection off, uncheck the box and tap Save.
When people are detected as a motion type, you’ll receive a ‘There is a person at your [Camera Name]’ notification, and a ‘Person’ event type icon will appear in your Clip List. Learn how to filter and view motion clips in the Blink app.
