How do I add another user to my Blink camera? Adding an additional user to your Blink camera system is a straightforward process that allows you to grant access to friends, family, or other trusted individuals. This feature is particularly useful if you want to share surveillance responsibilities or simply want to keep an eye on your property from multiple devices.
