    Easy enough. Just got 2 in today to go with my doorbell. All one on APP feature is what I want and glad my door bell and 2 spotlights are all within the app. And you can turn on/off the lights whenever you want and adjust any brightened too…
    and a 🤡 did say it wasn’t bright enough, but when you install it, it’s set at Level 5/10 brightness, so if you want bright, set it at 10. I think 5-6 is fine with me. Good video! 👍👍👍👍

    I have done all that, I can turn on the lights from my app but they do not come on when motion is detected. It is recognized on my Blink app and in the settings and all the settings appear to be in order but they just don't come on when motion is detected. the camera does bit not the lights.

    • @BusyBeeLiving
      @BusyBeeLiving  Рік тому +1

      I know the lights only come on when the sensor reads that it is dark outside. Maybe there is an issue with that sensor. Try calling tech support and if they can’t correct it they may need to send out a new unit.

    • @BusyBeeLiving

      When you go on the blink app, scroll to the camera and you’ll see right in the middle of the thumbnail two lightbulb icons. Left is on and right is off. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

    What size drill bits did you need to use? And was that with or without the anchors provided?

    • @BusyBeeLiving
      @BusyBeeLiving  2 роки тому +3

      I am not 100% sure, but I think for the screws that came with mine it may have been a 1/8 or a 9/64. My bits are constantly thrown around so sometimes its hard to tell, but I just eyeball the width of the screws and test it in a scrap piece of wood before the final. On this install, I went into solid wood so I did not need to use the anchors. Sorry, but hopefully that gives you a starting point. If you end up doing the install please share what size worked for you. Thank You!

      This unit is pretty heavy, especially with those batteries, so I would say no. The backplate should be secured with screws to ensure it doesn’t fall.

    • @BusyBeeLiving
      @BusyBeeLiving  8 місяців тому

      I haven’t had this issue, but you can turn down the sensitivity which will help by limiting the camera constantly coming on. Unfortunately when the wasps find it, they can be quite annoying.

      Use 9/64 if you're just using the screws, 1/8 if you're using the anchors.

    Hi , really liked your video & I thought I was supposed to buy a just 2 wireless but I bought a 1 wired for front garage and wireless one for backyard and wired is a bit challenging seems since there is no outlet and I gotta make a holes to wired in I don’t know how easier would it be & also the reason is front house gonna have more activity so with the wireless one I didn’t think would be more work for frequent changing of batteries, by the ways , how often would you put on Batteries on your wireless floodlight ,,
    Best wishes.

      If I’m guessing correctly what you are asking, on the main screen showing all the cameras, there is a little lightbulb looking button on the thumbnail that allows you to turn on and off the light.

    • @B_HarTz
      @B_HarTz 2 роки тому +1

      It’s a hook that goes behind the “vinyl siding” if your home is old enough with that. Once u mount the blink floodlight, it’s heavy enough to add weight to the bottom while the clip on top is held under the siding. I prefer what he did in this video to secure it

    I NEEDED to see the CLOSE UP of actually how to attach the mounting bracket to the back of the floodlight. My bracket appears to be DEFECTIVE or Not the Correct one because the slide clips are facing the same way yet the slide lip at the flashlight bottom is the OPPOSITE direction plus there's 2 angled pieces that prevent the top from being able to get in there to even slide. I'm Sure it's the Wrong bracket and that's what I needed to see to compare
