My Sync Module is offline

Tips for getting your Sync Module back online

When a Sync Module is not connected to the internet, the Blink app displays a banner and dims the thumbnail of affected cameras and displays a Sync Module Offline message.

If the Sync Module is not connecting to your Wi-Fi network, try these steps.

  1. Reboot your Wi-Fi router and wait for the internet connection to resume.
  2. Power cycle the Sync Module by unplugging power for five seconds and then plug it back in.

After a minute or two, the result should be a solid blue light above a solid green light on the Sync Module.

If there is any other light pattern, it may be necessary to update your Wi-Fi. You must update your Wi-Fi when you are physically with the Sync Module in the location where you want to set it up.

Caution: Only proceed if your system is not working as expected, or if you are making network changes such as moving to a new Wi-Fi network, or updating your network password.

To delete and reinstall your Sync Module

1. To start, tap the Sync Module Offline banner to display the Sync Module screen.



2. If you are updating the Wi-Fi password, tap Change Wi-Fi Network and follow the instructions. Otherwise, tap Delete Sync Module.
You are then presented with a popup suggesting you contact Customer Service.
Dismiss the popup by tapping Ok.

Once the serial number has been entered, tap Continue.

9. The app will now ask you to plug in your Sync Module or Mini Camera, if it is not already. About 30 seconds after being plugged in, a flashing blue light and solid green light pattern appears. It is important that the light pattern is present, otherwise you may have to contact support.
 Only when you see this light pattern, tap Discover Device in the Blink app.
