How do I unregister a Blink camera from another account?

Method 1: Delete the Account Settings

If your Blink camera is already associated with another account, you may try to erase the full account configuration within the settings menu if you want to start fresh.

This procedure will only be successful for individuals who can verify that they are the actual owners of the Blink account that is presently connected to their device. It’s important to remember that a deleted account can never be reactivated.

Step 2: Navigate to the System Settings.
Step 3: Click on the system’s name that you want to delete.
Step 4: Click on “Delete System” and confirm the pop-up message.
Step 5: Go back to the settings screen.
Step 6: Verify that the system is still there.
Step 7: Go to “Manage Account” if it is gone.
Step 8: Click on “Delete Account” at the bottom of the screen.

Method 2: Substitute a new email address.

If you have the login details for the email address associated with your Blink account, you may use this approach to access your account. If you want to give someone else access to your Blink camera, you may do so by changing the email address associated with it.

Step 1: Open the Blink app.
Step 2: Go to the Settings section.
Step 3: Click on the “Account” icon from the home screen.
Step 4: Tap on your existing email address.
Step 5: Enter you credentials and log in.

After clicking on the Change Email Address button you will be taken to a different screen.

The new Blink email address you supplied must be verified by clicking the verification link issued to your previous email account. Follow the instructions in the Blink verification email. Instantly after doing so, your new email address will be used by Blink, and your account will be verified.

Method 3: Try resetting your Blink camera.

One option for fixing a Blink camera that has been associated with another account is to reset it to factory settings. In most cases, doing so would result in the loss of all account and system data.

To reset the sync module, press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds. Keep holding the reset button until the device’s red light begins blinking, and then release it.

Step 3: Configure via the mobile app

Make sure you have the Blink app on your smartphone and have downloaded it if you haven’t already. Connect your sync module to your internet router via an Ethernet connection and log in to the Blink app using your personal account. Finally, make sure your camera is paired with the module and that your account settings are correct in the Blink app.
