Read: Blink Mini 2 vs Blink Mini
You can make a variety of things, from bidirectional audio to activity areas, but there is also something called privacy zones. Similar to the blackout zones in the Safe Chamber of Philips Hue, the privacy areas in Blink Mini 2 allow you to block a complete section within the field of vision of your camera. Here is a step by step on how to configure them and what they mean.
What you will need
- The Blink application
- Your smartphone or tablet
The short version
- Open the Flash application.
- Touch the three points in the corner of the mini 2 blink camera feed.
- Leverage Device settings.
- Select Movement configuration.
- Choose Movement areas.
- Choose the Privacy zone eyelash In the upper part.
- Drag your finger Throughout the area you want to create as a privacy zone.
Privacy zones and Blink activity areas are somewhat connected, so it is worth taking into account. After creating an area of activity, you will see the inactive squares in the grid of the privacy zone. Meanwhile, after creating a privacy zone, there will be a blackened grid in the grid of the activity zone. It can restart if you want to create one without the other, but you have one, it will apply to the other and vice versa.
It has a little more control when it comes to the aspect of the privacy zone compared to the activity areas, since it drags to select its area. This allows you to select half rectangle, one third, a quarter or whatever you want. The rectangles are there, but do not define what it can select as such. With the activity areas, specifically select the rectangles, since we carry it through our separate feature in them.
Privacy zones also act slightly different from the activity areas. If you have configured a privacy zone for your Blink 2 camera, you will not record anything that happens in that area. The Video Feed will have a gray section on the area that it has created, so you can never see what happened in that area. For the activity areas, the areas are inactive in the sense that it will not be notified if the movement occurs in them, but it can still see what happened in them if it returns through the feeding of the video.

Step 2.
Open movement configuration
Within the device configuration, you will see the movement configuration and within them, you will find movement areas in the following submenu. Nothing is worth the movement configuration, you can also adjust the sensitivity, the types of movement recording and adjust the time after a movement event during which your mini 2 camera will not detect the movement.

Step 3.
Create your privacy zone
When you touch the movement zone, you will see a snapshot of the field of vision of your camera divided into 64 rectangular boxes. These are the activity areas. Touch the Privacy Zone tab on the grid and turn to the grid of the privacy zone. To create a privacy zone, use your finger to drag the points in the area that you want to remove from video images.
That’s all! It should have finished creating your privacy zone and that area will not be recorded when your Blink Mini 2 is on.
Frequent questions
If you have configured a privacy zone, the Blink Mini 2 will not record anything that happens in that area and will see an attenuated area when you watch any video video. For the activity areas, these are inactive so that you do not receive movement alerts, but you can see what happens in them in video foods.
