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?

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.
