Setting up multiple users on your Blink Indoor Security System allows you to share access with family members, roommates, or trusted friends. This feature enhances security and convenience, ensuring everyone can monitor the system as needed. Follow these simple steps to add and manage multiple users effectively.
Prerequisites for Adding Users
Before you begin, ensure you have:
- A registered Blink account with your primary administrator account.
- The Blink app installed on your smartphone or tablet.
- Access to the email addresses of the users you want to add.
Steps to Add Multiple Users
Follow these step-by-step instructions to invite additional users to your Blink system:
1. Open the Blink App
Launch the Blink app on your mobile device and log in with your primary account credentials.
2. Access System Settings
Tap on the system you wish to share. Then, go to the settings menu by selecting the gear icon or the options menu.
3. Invite New Users
Find the “Users” or “Manage Users” option. Tap on it, then select “Invite User” or “Add User.” Enter the email address of the person you want to invite.
