Blink Camera Says Already Registered To Another Account
Introduction
If you have recently purchased a Blink camera, you may have encountered a message that says "already registered to another account" when trying to set it up. This can be frustrating, but fortunately, there are several steps you can take to resolve the issue. In this article, we will discuss what you can do to fix the "already registered to another account" error on your Blink camera.
What Causes the "Already Registered to Another Account" Error?
Before we discuss how to fix the problem, it is important to understand why it occurs. The "already registered to another account" error message appears when the camera you are trying to set up has already been registered to another Blink account. This can happen if the camera was previously used by someone else or if it was returned to the store and resold as new without being properly reset.
How to Fix the "Already Registered to Another Account" Error
If you receive the "already registered to another account" error message when trying to set up your Blink camera, there are several steps you can take to resolve the issue.
Contact Blink Support
The first thing you should do is contact Blink support. They can help you determine if the camera was previously registered to another account and assist you in resetting it. You can reach Blink support by phone, email, or live chat on their website.
Reset the Camera
If Blink support confirms that the camera was previously registered to another account, the next step is to reset the camera. To do this, press and hold the reset button on the back of the camera for about 20 seconds. The light on the front of the camera will blink rapidly to indicate that it has been reset.
Unlink the Camera from the Previous Account
If you have access to the previous account that the camera was registered to, you can unlink the camera from that account. To do this, log in to the Blink app or website using the previous account credentials, go to the camera settings, and select "unlink camera."
Create a New Blink Account
If none of the above steps work, you can create a new Blink account and set up the camera on that account. Be sure to reset the camera before attempting to set it up on the new account.
Conclusion
The "already registered to another account" error on your Blink camera can be frustrating, but it is not impossible to fix. By contacting Blink support, resetting the camera, unlinking it from the previous account, or creating a new account, you can get your camera up and running in no time.
