To turn off the clicking noise on your Blink Mini camera, follow these simple steps:
1. Open your Blink app and go to the settings of the camera you want to modify.
2. Scroll down until you see the “Advanced Settings” option and click on it.
3. Look for the “Audio Feedback” option and toggle it off.
Alternatively, you can also turn off the clicking noise by using the physical button located at the back of the camera. Here’s how:
1. Unplug your Blink Mini camera from its power source.
2. Press and hold the button located at the back of the camera for 5 seconds.
3. Release the button when you see a red light flashing on the camera.
4. Plug the camera back into its power source.
Once you have turned off the clicking noise, you can test it by tapping on the live view screen of the camera in the Blink app. If you still hear a clicking noise, repeat the steps above.
Important: Turning off the clicking noise may also disable other audio features on your Blink Mini camera, such as the two-way talk feature. If you rely on these features, you may want to consider leaving the clicking noise on or using a different camera. Additionally, keep in mind that the clicking noise is designed to alert you when the camera is recording, so turning it off may result in reduced security if you are not actively checking the live stream.

FAQ
1. What is the clicking noise on my Blink Mini camera?
The clicking noise on your Blink Mini camera is the sound of the camera’s infrared (IR) cut filter switching on and off. This happens as the camera transitions from daytime mode to night vision mode and back again.
2. How can I turn off the clicking noise on my Blink Mini camera?
You cannot completely turn off the clicking noise on your Blink Mini camera as it is a necessary function for the camera to switch between day and night modes. However, you can try reducing the noise by placing a small piece of electrical tape over the camera’s IR sensor.
3. Will covering the IR sensor with tape affect the camera’s performance?
Covering the IR sensor with tape may partially reduce the clicking noise but it can also affect the camera’s performance, especially during low light conditions. This is because the IR sensor helps the camera switch to night vision mode by detecting the amount of light in the room. If the sensor is blocked, the camera may not be able to detect the correct amount of light and may not switch to night mode when it is required.
4. Is there any other way to reduce the clicking noise on my Blink Mini camera?
Apart from covering the IR sensor with tape, there are no other ways to reduce the clicking noise on your Blink Mini camera. This is because the camera needs to switch on and off its IR cut filter to switch between day and night modes. However, you can try moving the camera away from any objects that may be causing the noise to be amplified, such as walls or furniture.
