Camera randomly blinks

Camera will randomly blink for no reason

Do you mean the status light?

The status light will blink when the camera detects motion. So if you’re in the room, then it sees you and it will blink to indicate it detects an ongoing event. So you will see this happen sometimes when you are in the room with the camera, or if any pets are, or if you have a ceiling fan or if car headlights shine through the window or anything else that causes it to detect pixel changes (motion).

Personally I always turn off the status light. I don’t like it drawing attention to the camera. The camera should not be the focus of attention IMO, and the status light draws attention so I turn it off.

If you mean something else, please explain in greater detail.
