"Camera Not Found", blank screen.

I am able to view the recordings.

Which cameras do you have?

[AniBMagal]

Apologies, and thanks for the quick reply. The answer to your question is Mini's. Not compatible? Sorry if I missed that. No XT2's here (saw that).

I have Blink Minis, too. Both are not displayed on the home screen. App sais "Camera not found" twice. Despite of that I can still view the recorded videos of these cameras.

Any suggestions? Any way to debug this?

I have this problem as well using the Blink Mini cameras. The program works great otherwise, can view clips, and it downloads the videos to a local storage server automatically however I cannot get live view to work. Any updates on this or has anyone found a solution to this problem?

Edit:

This is the link it tries to access I think to pull up the camera "https://rest-u005.immedia-semi.com/network/227055/camera/74419" however if you follow this link in a web browser it will display this:
" {"message":"Unauthorized Access","code":101} "

See Screenshot of the DevTools as well:

Hi, live view is only supported for XT cameras, I tried with XT2 but they changed the protocol and it's custom made so I don't think I am able to support it. I assumed they did the same for mini cameras but the error you receive is different so it could work in case they respected the communication standard. The problem is I only have XT cameras so I cannot investigate any further sorry. What I can do is make mini cameras appear at the dashboard and show relevant information but I will need some help with testing. I'm sorry you are having these problems with the app but it's quite complicated without having the hardware for testing.

Thanks for writing back, I had started to assume Blink did something with the way you can access live view with the Mini's which is a shame because they are great affordable cameras that almost anyone can get. What kind of information would you be able to display on the dashboard?

Also if you need someone to test the new code for you that has the Mini cameras I can do that for you so long as you provide me with a download link to the updated versions or steps I need to take to test this out for you. I would be more than happy to help as I think you have created a great program here and I'm interested to see if we could get some more functionality out of the Mini cameras. I think myself and others would greatly appreciate your efforts of course considering you have free time to debug this.

Let me know if you need anything from me or any information that I could give you to help out!

Thanks!

i think web can show relevant information from cameras, the same as the xt ones, battery IP Signal and so on. Ok I Will reach you out when I am not so busy

[FrankArn7]

No worries, yeah let me know when you need me to test something for you!
