Blink makes some of the best home security cameras, with a growing range of battery or wired cameras for any situation. While they’re meant to stay in a single place, sometimes you need to take them down.
We often unmount a Blink camera for one of the following reasons: relocating it to a new position to get better Wi-Fi coverage; changing its batteries when they die; and replacing it with a new more powerful Blink camera.
If you haven’t installed the camera yourself, unmounting the Blink camera can be challenging.
It does involve some muscle power, and there are high chances of getting the camera damaged. However, once you understand the basics, the whole process would seem like a walk in the park.
Let’s walk you through the steps to remove your Blink Camera from its stand/mount within seconds.

- Unplug the cameras from the power cable (if it’s not battery-operated).
- Get proper tools ready: e.g. screwdriver, if needed for your mount type.
- Be gentle while removing the camera from the mount/stand to prevent any damage to the lenses.
