Cameras not attached to sync module #35

I was able to run the code but it looks like it was only able to access the videos that are on my cameras attached to the sync module. Does anyone know if the videos can be downloaded from the cameras not attached to sync module?

Just incase this helps someone else. I have found the solution and will try my best to explain. Please proceed with caution. I have multiple cameras and had the benefit of testing my approach with a camera that would not upload via the code but I also did not care about those videos.

My initial problem presented because I was not able to access and download videos from all my cameras. This was because I purchased and set up indoor mini cameras before purchasing outdoor cameras and sync module.

When running the code I was able to access the videos from my out door cameras but not the indoor mini. So I had to move the cameras into the same device category as my outdoor cameras and change the name of the device category to match the new camera.

For example I wanted my Living Room videos which were in my Living Room device system category.

To do this I deleted my living room camera from blink app. All the videos from the camera were still saved in the could. (this was first tested on a different camera to insure the videos would not delete). I then deleted the device system category Living Room.

I then changed the Outdoor ( the one already connected to the sync module) device system name to Living Room. I then readded my living room camera to the blink account to the newly changed living room device system.

I ran the code on the PC. then went to the file location where it was saving the videos and added a folder for Living Room and the videos began to download.

Hope this helps!
