If your Blink Arc is showing this problem, working through the checks below in order will resolve it in the large majority of cases.
What This Problem Means
When the Blink Arc goes offline it loses its connection to the app and stops sending alerts. This is almost always a power or Wi-Fi issue rather than a hardware fault.
Common Symptoms
- No motion alerts being received
- Live View fails to connect in the app
- Device shown as offline in the app
- Last event shown was some time ago
Safe Checks You Can Try
1. Check the battery level
Open the app and check the battery level. If low, charge via USB until full, then reinsert and test.
2. Restart the camera and router
Unplug the Blink Arc power cable from the wall socket, wait 10 seconds, then plug it back in. Both cameras will restart automatically. Also restart your router by unplugging it for 30 seconds. Many offline issues clear with a clean restart of both.
3. Check Wi-Fi signal strength
Check the signal strength in the app. A weak signal is the most common cause of cameras going offline. A Wi-Fi extender near the camera will help.
4. Check for network changes
If your Wi-Fi password or router has changed recently, reconnect the Blink Arc in the app.
