Is there a way to recover deleted videos on Blink?

Most Blink users have purchased a subscription to save clips and videos and get copies of these media files.

With subscription accounts, USB backups provide a possibility to recover deleted Blink videos even if you’ve permanently deleted them from your Blink app and cloud storage.

There’re two types of backups below.    

However, please note that a free monthly subscription cannot automatically store your motion clips and Live View sessions on Blink’s cloud servers. Not to mention browsing cloud-based clips in the Blink app.
