Using Live View with the Floodlight Camera

  Note: We’ve enhanced the design of the Blink app. If the steps listed below in this article do not match your current app (6.30.0 or higher), you can view the previous design.

The following explains how to use Live View with your Floodlight Camera.

Start Live View

To see your Floodlight Camera's Live View in the Blink mobile app, tap the Play button settings icon  in the center thumbnail area.

Using two-way audio

When you initiate Live View, your microphone is muted, but you will hear audio from your Floodlight Camera.
To hear through the floodlight camera, tap the Unmute icon on the Live View screen.
While audio is active, the icon becomes animated and the background is blue. To stop hearing sound, tap the speaker muteicon. Learn more about using two way audio.

Changing Live View orientation

In landscape, or full-screen view, tap the screen to see your control options. Below is an example of full screen Live View with the lights on.
