Hello everyone
Happy to advise this forum & those who opined on the issue we were encountering with the Blink cameras. After 2 hours on phone with NetGear tech support & 2 hours on phone with Blink tech support, the problem was the Blink Sync Monitor. Defective & once replaced, issue was resolved.
Many thanks - Happy Canada Day to the canucks July 1 & Fourth of July to USA residents.
You don't need to make any specific settings changes for these devices as long as they're all working as expected
The problem is that the Blink cameras do not work consistently. Online sometimes & then offline. We were away for 43 days and could observe from cameras situated in Atlantic Canada from SW USA. Get back home & they never stay online consistently.
Ours have always been consistant and remained online reliably. Not sure what would cause yours to be inconsistant but might try assigning fixed IP addresses, certainly to your Sync Modules, and to individual cameras if you want to take the time to do it. Might also try moving your Sync Module or Modules to make sure they always have good connections to each camera and that Sync Modules and Cameras all have good WIFI signal. I helped a buddy diagnose some issues with some of his going on and offline randomly (maybe that's what you mean by them being inconsistant) and it was that one of his Sync modules ended up just needing to be relocated to the next room which was only a move of about 7 feet if you could have measured it straight line, yet was on the other side of a wall which made all the difference connecting reliably to the cameras at one end of his house and a few that was outdoors at that end of the house) and one of his cameras had to be moved to a new location where he got more consistant green bars on signal strength.
