Yes, you can do it with the Blink Camera Manager using a change in SHM or Mode. There is an advanced mode option that will adjust clip length and sensitivity of each camera for each mode. Another option is CoRE/WebCoRE for control of the cameras.

Is it possible to make the temperature tile update more automatic so we could get history of temperature? I am finding it quite annoying to manually update it with the sensor update button
The temperature tile updates are controlled by Blink, when the camera wakes up it updates the server and ST will get the updates from the server about every 15-30 minutes (it cannot be configured).

Mine doesnât update at all in the smartthings app. Unless I press the update sensor button.
At least there is no temp in the devices history
Got a message to update the blink camera app tried to instal Rboy new app and I get this message

Did you update the device handler and the app?
Youâre using the wrong instructions. Youâre pasting the device handler code in the SmartApp

Didnât see this listed but have a question on whether it is possible once one camera detects motion all the cameras can take a snapshot at the same time. or if there is an option to where you can manually trigger all the cameras at the same time to take a snapshot at once to view. I know i can access each camera and do it. but was just curious if this is a feature that is available and if so how do i set it up. Thanks for all your help.

Thats perfect i will try it out. is there away to perform the multicamera capture through a routine?
How come I donât get temp changes in the device history? Also the temp tile doesnât changes unless I press âsensor updateâ
This issues seems to have been fixed a couple of weeks after I reported it. Another issue where night vision was underexposed when a light source is visible seems to have been fixed recently.
Night vision is much better now.
I donât see any announcement by Blink where these were fixed.
Theyâve certainly been doing other things as well, the devices use a different host name now, that is basically âMAC address-mysimplelinkâ. An insignificant change but it would be nice to know about firmware update being pushed out.

Thanks! I just used your code.
Here is another one if someone wants to save $25. Itâs still a better deal than the $10 off for signing up for their newsletter.

And I just used yours and got another XT (Refurbished) so was only $75. Works for me!
Hereâs another code. I wonder if you can stack other discounts?..

Can the DTH be installed without a HUB? Meaning, can someone download the ST App, installed the DTH and SmartApp and have access to their cameras without ever buying a HUB?
It needs a hub to attach and install the devices to, ST requirement. If you have multiple hubs the SmartApp will prompt you to select the hub to install (attach) the Blink cameras.

I just got new Blink XT cameras and setup this smartapp. The control works fine but live feed seems to be very slow and the video also has a green tint with actual picture in a smaller rectangle.
Is this a problem with the smartapp or do I need to update something in the cameras? The live feed in the Blink app works fine.
Do you see the Green hue in the Blink native app? If you do, than the XT is faulty and you need to open a ticket with the Blink support to have it replaced.
The feed through Blink App was fine. Smartapp feed also looks fine now though so maybe it was a temporary issue.
