If a Blink camera records one event but misses the next, test the interval between clips before changing sensitivity or buying another camera.
Set up a controlled test
In the Blink app, confirm that your exact camera exposes Retrigger Time and note the current setting. Use a nonprivate scene and repeat the same walk through the detection area. Wait until the first clip ends before timing the next walk. This matters because the interval between walks is not necessarily the interval between the end of one clip and the next motion.
Read the result
Run two trials: one with a gap shorter than the current setting, and one with a gap longer than it. Check saved clips rather than just phone alerts. If the longer trial appears but the shorter one does not, the interval is a better explanation than poor sensitivity. If neither appears, check that the camera was armed and that the first clip actually ended.
Worked example
Write down clip end time, second walk time and whether the clip saved. Keep the original setting so you can restore it if shorter gaps produce too many clips.
