As a first step, unplug and plug-in your Mini camera. If your Mini was already connected to your network, the red LED changes to solid blue and blinking green lights as the Mini reconnects. Once connected, the Mini does not show lights on the front unless you have the blue recording indicator active.
The red light also briefly appears during Mini camera setup process, just before the solid green and blinking blue light show that your Mini is ready to be added to your system.
If a steady red light remains, use a thin object to press the reset button shown in the image (using a sharp object like pin or thumb tack can damage the camera) then wait for the red light to change to the appropriate green and blue LED pattern.
The Blink Mini has a reset button on the bottom side of the camera, next to where the mount connects.
Blink Mini 2 has a reset button on the bottom side of the camera where the mount connects. Note: Your mount must be disconnected from your Mini 2 in order to access the reset button.
If the red light does not change within 120 seconds, please contact support to ensure all updates complete correctly. Learn more about the LEDs on your Mini Camera.
Blink Outdoor and Indoor (3rd Gen), XT2, and XT
