Blink Cameras and Broadcast SSID
I want to turn off the broadcasting of the SSID for the 2.4 ghz but, it seems to create a problem for my blink cameras not being able to access the network. Anyone else having this issue?

Did you just disable broadcast of the SSID network name? Or was it the wireless radios?
Turning off the wifi for something that needs wifi could cause problems.

Turned off the broadcast of the SSID because I thought that if I turned it off that it would not get hacked

There are sniffers that determined crooks can use to find your wifi.
Decent passwords are better protection.
