Can You Monitor All Blink Cameras at Once?
The question of whether you can monitor all Blink cameras at once is a common one. Many people have multiple Blink cameras and want to be able to monitor them all at the same time. The good news is that it is possible to monitor all Blink cameras at once, but it requires a few steps to set up.
Adding a Sync Module
The first step to being able to monitor all Blink cameras at once is to add a Sync Module. A Sync Module allows you to group and manage up to 10 cameras in one system. However, if you want to add more than ten cameras, or add cameras to a different location, you’ll need to add another Sync Module to create a system for each group of cameras.
Connecting the Cameras
Once you have the Sync Modules in place, you can then connect the cameras to the Sync Modules. To do this, you’ll need to use the Blink app on your smartphone or tablet. The app will walk you through the process of connecting the cameras to the Sync Modules. Once the cameras are connected, you’ll be able to monitor them all at once.
Monitoring the Cameras
Once the cameras are connected to the Sync Modules, you can then monitor them all at once. To do this, you’ll need to open the Blink app on your smartphone or tablet. The app will show you a live view of all the cameras that are connected to the Sync Modules. You can then switch between the cameras to see what is happening in each area.

If you want to add more cameras to your system, you’ll need to add additional Sync Modules. Each Sync Module can support up to 10 cameras, so if you want to add more than 10 cameras, you’ll need to add additional Sync Modules.
Using the Blink System with Alexa
The Blink system can be used with Amazon Alexa. This allows you to control the cameras using voice commands. You can ask Alexa to show you the live view from a specific camera, or you can ask Alexa to turn on the motion detection for a specific camera.
Using the Blink System with IFTTT
The Blink system can also be used with IFTTT. IFTTT stands for “If This Then That” and it allows you to create automated tasks based on certain triggers. For example, you can set up an IFTTT recipe that will turn on the motion detection for a specific camera when your phone enters a certain location.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it is possible to monitor all Blink cameras at once. To do this, you’ll need to add Sync Modules and connect the cameras to the Sync Modules. Once the cameras are connected, you can then open the Blink app on your smartphone or tablet to monitor all the cameras at once. Additionally, you can use the Blink system with Alexa and IFTTT to control the cameras using voice commands or automated tasks.
