The Blink Mini cameras’ night vision, high-definition quality, and two-way audio capabilities make them some of the most advanced and useful interior security cameras. They are high-quality cameras that occupy very little space and are very simple.
It is recommended that you restore the settings on the Blink camera to their original state before attempting to resell or transfer ownership of the device. This will remove any changes you have made to the set over time and will return it to its original state as if it had never been altered.

Why Doesn’t Blink Give Users the Ability to Reset Their Cameras?
There is a rationale for Blink’s decision to prohibit consumers from being able to reset their cameras, even though this decision may seem weird at first.
Users cannot reset Blink Cameras tied to a system in Blink’s current iteration. And also, this is done to reduce the likelihood of theft and fraudulent activity. If you can produce evidence of purchase for your Blink camera, including the serial number, the Blink support team will be able to reset the device for you.
How can I improve the recording speed on my Blink camera?
Positioning the camera so it is closer to the router might be one solution to the speed problem you are experiencing. Utilizing a WiFi extender is yet another method that might be used. You might also try turning off and then back on the camera and the network.
If you still have difficulties obtaining a strong signal, you may try connecting the camera to the router via an Ethernet wire to see if that helps.
Conclusion
There are a variety of scenarios in which an individual could find it necessary to do a factory data reset on an electronic device they own. One scenario that came up lately was where I needed to reset a pre-owned Blink Camera to its factory settings to begin the setup process from the very beginning.
This specific model was a Blink Indoor Camera, but I have to say that resetting Blink cameras applies to all of their many iterations. The Blink Cameras are the topic of discussion in this first part, while the Blink Sync Module is the focus of the next discussion.
It has been discovered, however, that hitting the button labeled “reset” does not, in fact, reset the camera. Blink Cameras cannot have their settings restored to their original factory defaults because of how they are constructed.
