Your Blink cameras arm and disarm themselves as you come and go — with schedules and Family Geofencing, all kept private on your device. GeoCam automates your Blink™ camera system using location-based geofencing — no more manual switching in the Blink app. When you leave home, your cameras arm. When you return, they disarm. Everything runs in the background. Key features: - Automatic arm & disarm based on your real-time location - Time-based arm/disarm schedules per network - Family Geofencing: home stays disarmed while any family member is inside - Customizable home zones - Background location monitoring for seamless automation - Works alongside the official Blink app - Simple and focused user experience Your data stays yours: - Your Blink credentials are stored only on your device — never on GeoCam servers - Your GPS location is processed on-device only and never uploaded - Camera commands go directly from your phone to Blink — no middleman, no proxy - Authentication uses OAuth2 with PKCE, an industry-standard secure flow How it works: 1. Connect your Blink account 2. Define your geofence area 3. GeoCam detects when you leave or return 4. Your cameras automatically arm or disarm Compatibility: GeoCam works with Blink camera systems, including: Blink Indoor, Blink Outdoor, Blink Mini, Blink XT2. Additional integrations may be added in the future. Disclaimer: GeoCam is an independent, third-party application and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Amazon or Blink. Blink is a trademark of Amazon Technologies, Inc. GeoCam does not replace the official Blink application and requires an existing Blink account.

Love It - When It Works

The geofencing for the app is hit and miss. Location is enabled to always. Sometimes it works…most of the time lately it doesn’t.

Hi! I completely understand how frustrating that can beGeofencing reliability was one of the biggest areas I’ve worked on since the early versions. The app has been rebuilt and location handling has been significantly improved.I’d love for you to try the current version, a lot has changed.And if something still feels off, I’m here to help.

Decided to get this app for added convenience of geofencing. I logged out of the app and it locked me out despite having the proper credentials. It would pop up the same error noting wrong username or password even though it would send the 2FA to my cell phone for 2nd verification. Problem was it would remain on the error screen and never bring me to the next page. I then changed my password because I thought that was the issue. That’s didn’t resolve it. I tried waiting until I got back on my home wifi, that didn’t resolve it. I tried deleting and reinstalling the app, that didn’t work.So I finally emailed them and no response for support.Stay away from this app.

Thank you for taking the time to write this, and I'm genuinely sorry for the frustration, both with the login and with the slow reply to your email.You ran into a real bug, and you described it perfectly. When logging back in with text-message (SMS) two-factor verification, the app was sending you the code but failing to show the screen to enter it, so it kept showing "wrong username or password" even though your credentials were correct. That's also why changing your password and reinstalling didn't help. It was never a credentials problem on your side.The good news: it's already fixed. An updated version is being submitted to the App Store now, and once Apple approves it the login will work normally again through a regular update.If you're willing to give it another try once the update lands, I'd really appreciate it, and if anything still feels off you can reach me directly at matteo.tomasini@gmail.com and I'll personally help you get set up. Thanks for your patience.

A big update since our last release: - Quick-start setups: get arm/disarm automations running in just a couple of taps - Time-based schedules per network — with a heads-up when they clash with Blink's own schedules - Family Geofencing: home stays disarmed while anyone's inside, and arms when the last person leaves - New Home health banner that self-diagnoses stuck presence or flapping geofences - Smoother in-app clip video playback on iPhone - Clearer notifications that tell you exactly what happened, plus more reliable background triggers - More reliable sign-in, now with support for SMS two-factor authentication (2FA)
