Just Setup My Blink Cameras

A got Blink cameras to monitor my Dad ( see My Dad Has Alzheimer’s – Gadgets, Gizmos, Etc.).
A few quick notes:

– It was the 5 camera setup

– The range of the Blinks did not reach across the house and down a floor. Fortunately I had 2 wifi routers and relocated one to the basement.

– Every unit has a friggin’ BRIGHT blue light that comes on when the camera is recording (XTs allow disable). Seriously, WTF? I found a video that shows how to take it apart and disable it. Screw that, I don’t have the time. As noted in the comments for the video you can stick a pin in and break the light. That’s exactly what I did. Very un-Geek of me I know.

– I put the Android app on 2 Samsung Galaxy S7s and an Amazon Fire tablet. They work OK.

– There is no official desktop app but there is an app out there called Bling Desktop. Works fine for viewing.
