blink2video

Manage your Blink cameras from a computer, and keep what they record.

Blink is built for the phone: one clip at a time, no archive, no desktop counterpart. Recordings live on a USB stick in a Sync Module 2 or a microSD card in a Sync Module XR, erased as it fills up, or in the subscription cloud, which keeps them for a few weeks.

blink2video is the missing side. A local interface to watch cameras live and arm detection. And what the phone cannot do at all: fetch clips before rotation erases them, burn the time into the picture, and assemble them into one video per day, per week and per month.

Everything runs on your machine. Nothing is sent anywhere.

The web interface listens on 127.0.0.1 only: nothing else on your local network can reach it, just this machine. It has no login of its own beyond the Blink account session, so anyone with access to this machine can open it.
