Not sure what to set my retrigger time at null

Retrigger is the time it takes to take another picture. I have mine on the quickest setting which will allow for a quicker response between pictures being taken. This uses batteries faster but is safer in my opinion instead of the additional lag time. Hope this helps

This would really depend on where your cameras were placed and the types of motion that cross their field of view. There is a delay from the end of a motion clip to the start of the camera capturing a new motion clip. This is in place to avoid sending too many motion alerts during expected motion triggers. To clarify, the camera turns on instantly (within a fraction of a second) to record a video clip when motion is first detected. When you first come home to your Armed Blink system, you can trigger a motion alert by walking past your camera. The delay between clips or retrigger time gives you enough time to Disarm your system. By default, the system will capture a 5 second clip, wait for the retrigger time of 30 seconds and if motion continues, capture another 5 second clip. This retrigger time can be configured under camera settings. You are able to find many support articles on the Blink for Home website as well, support.blinkforhome.com
