Firstly, Unpack your Blink video doorbell

Secondly, open the blink app on your phone and press the plus button in the top right corner.

Thirdly, choose the Blink Video doorbell by pressing it. Then scan the QR code

Then choose an existing system or if you don’t have an existing system, create a new system by naming one.

After that the screen will tell you to remove the battery cover and insert the batteries. Now the unit should start blinking red.

Then it will add your blink doorbell to the system.

And then we are done! Next, it is mounting the doorbell which gives some great detailed descriptions of how to do it. Also, how to cap off an old wired doorbell if you are replacing one of those.

There are some options you may wish to consider in the settings. Go into the doorbell settings. These are found opposite your doorbell name. Then click on zones and from here you can mask off any unwanted zones in which activity is detected. So for instance, for a plant that moves in the wind or something similar, you can gray out the squares and motion will not be detected in the greyed-out square.

On mine, I have greyed out the sky from detection and a hanging basket by the front door. As you can see, all pretty straightforward!
