Resolución de problemas

If your Blink camera is not receiving power from the solar panel, consider the following:

• Luz solar insuficiente: Ensure the solar panel receives at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Obstructions like trees, buildings, or shade can significantly reduce charging efficiency.
• Conexión por cable: Verify that the micro USB cable is securely connected to both the solar panel and the Blink camera. If using a USB C converter, ensure it is properly attached.
• Carga inicial: If newly installed, the internal battery may require a full day or two of direct sunlight to build up an initial charge.
• Camera Battery Status: Check the battery status within the Blink app. The solar panel maintains the camera's battery at an "OK" status, which is equivalent to new batteries. There are no external indicators on the solar panel itself.
• Tempo extremo: In prolonged periods of heavy cloud cover or extreme cold, charging efficiency may be reduced. The internal battery helps mitigate this, but continuous poor weather can eventually deplete the charge.
