This tiny plug in camera is incredibly easy to set up and works perfectly for keeping an eye on your home. The video quality is very clear and the motion alerts send right to your phone instantly. It is perfect for checking in on your pets while you are away at work. The design is small enough to sit neatly on a shelf or counter without being too noticeable. It is a fantastic and affordable way to add a little extra security to your daily life.
The Blink Mini is a great indoor security camera. The video quality is clear, the motion detection works well, and the setup was quick and easy. I like being able to check my home from anywhere using the app. It’s reliable, compact, and offers great value for the price. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I purchased these after having a great experience with the blink doorbell and outdoor cameras. I found these indoor cameras just as user friendly and easy to set up. They're great quality for the price and are easily adjustable to be able to view whatever angle you need them to. It's easy to set up the notifications in the Blink app and the motion triggers for recording are consistent and reliable
I got a 2-pak of Blink Minis on sale and I am happy with my purchase. Will you be? Read on.They work great, stand alone, as a drop-in viewport with echo show devices using voice commands, fire TV sticks using voice commands and the Blink app on the phone. If you want more than that then factor in the cost of a subscription to the Blink cloud service because it is more than just a cloud storage service, it unlocks all of the Blink Mini features except the ability to drop-in and view a live video feed via those three methods I just mentioned.You can not use the Alexa app on your phone, tablet, etc. with the camera at all without a Blink subscription plan active. Here is what Blink says about it: Even without a Blink Subscription owners of Blink Video Doorbell, Outdoor, Indoor (gen 2), or Mini cameras receive Motion Alerts in the Blink app that you tap to enter the camera's Live View. No clips are saved. That is straight from the manufacturer's website. Heads up, adding the Sync Module 2 does not add that functionality.Considering using local storage by purchasing a Sync Module 2 to use with your Minis? The primary function of the Sync Module 2 is as a wifi booster for the low power Blink Outdoor cams running off only battery power. The Minis do not need this since they run off AC power. The Blink Outdoor cams offload the wifi video upload for the cloud onto the Sync Module 2 because it has an ac power source and so sending the video from the Sync Module 2 instead of directly from the outdoor cams saves battery life in the cams. Now you know the true purpose of the Sync Module 2. No, it won't give you recording and motion detection functionality in place of a subscription. To further confuse things, if you have an active subscription, including the free trial that is automatically started when you setup your first Blink device, the module functions only as a once a day backup device and can not function as a local storage device for videos. Once your free 30 day trial subscription runs out, the Sync Module 2 is remotely reconfigured by Blink to become a limited functionality storage device instead of a backup device. Understand the difference. And your Blink app on your phone is automatically remotely reconfigured to remove functionality you had with the free trial subscription. So don't buy the Sync Module 2 thinking it will provide the functionality you lose with an expired subscription. And don't think you will be able to purchase a Sync Module 2 right up front with your Blink Minis and start using it for local storage when you setup the cams instead of cloud storage because the trial subscription is automatic and prevents the Sync Module 2 from functioning as a local storage device. It only functions as a once a day backup device. Like you need to backup the web to your local device. I always thought it was the other way around, backup your local devices to the web. So you have to keep the cams and module for over 30 days before you can even check out the Sync Module 2 to see what it does and how it works. I purchased a Sync Module 2 and a 128 GB USB stick to use with it for my Minis and it was for nothing - no added functionality at all. My Minis are sending the motion triggered recordings to the trial subscription cloud storage for the next 27 days whether I want it or not.I'm not happy about the Sync Module 2 but the Mini does do what I wanted for a minimal cost even without it. My goal with the Blink minis was to be able to check in on my other place when I'm not there during the winter months just to see that its still standing and my cars are still in the garage. I wasn't looking for a constant viewport that is always recording in an endless loop nor did I think I was buying a serious thief catching security system. For that I have a professional security service with expensive overpriced equipment for all doors and windows, smoke, fire, CO2, detectors, etc. and high monthly fees so that someone somewhere receives all the alarms 24/7 and calls the police immediately. That is a real security system. For me these Blink cams are a peace-of-mind curiosity system. In that respect I think its going to serve me well.Your satisfaction will vary greatly according to your expectations for the Blink Mini cam and also the Blink Home app and also the Blink options for functionality, from 1. its the worst piece of crap ever made with the primary objective being to upsell amazon Alexa video devices and cloud video storage plans (oh, and unlocking almost all of the cam's functionality) to 2. its a really great product definitely worth the price so I want to get more. Are you expecting a serious security system with unlimited live viewing and local storage of video with all the features they list for the system with a subscription and cameras with the latest, greatest resolution and features? You will be in the first, very disappointed, category. Are you looking for a curiosity cam that lets you check in on your place once in a while via your voice controlled echo, fire-tv stick or the Blink phone app for minimal cost? You will be in the latter category, I love the Minis. Are you looking for an inexpensive cam with off-site cloud storage and added, some might say needed, functionality provided by a low cost subscription? You should be happy with the Blink Mini.ProEasy to setup and use with Blink app and Echo Show devices (although android app has some known issues that might cause some frustration during setup)When I had to call tech support because of an issue with the Blink app on Android, the wait was not too long and the rep was helpful and pleasantVery inexpensive way to drop in and check on a place momentarilyNo subscription or anything else needed for this basic functionalityWith or without a subscription these have good valueConAll features beyond live video feed require a subscriptionNo documentation included at all, you must search the web for everything you need help with or info aboutNo clear explanation of what you get without a subscription, in fact, purposely obfuscated as a marketing planNo clear explanation of what adding a sync module 2 will do for you if you only have Minis - not muchCheap 1080p video - its ok, it works, but we are going into 2023 so how about an upgrade to 2k this yearCheap minimal mounts that are intended for mounting on horizontal surfaces like a shelf and deficient adjustment for vertical surfaces like a wall (curiously the exact opposite of the outdoor cams that are intended to be mounted on a vertical wall and not good for horizontal mounting like under a soffit). Had they made the mount a little longer it would have been so much better but it probably would've cost a couple cents more.To get the features you think you are getting you need the subscription. In Blink's defense, the subscription is currently reasonably priced and any serious security must include off-site storage of data (to prevent loss by fire or theft) or its just a curiosity system anyway. Their marketing approach for it is very poor though.Blink needs to step up to the same level of customer experience as Alexa devices provide. And I think if you pay for prime it should include the Blink cloud subscription for up to 4 devices and only pay if you have more devices than that. How about Bezos holding off giving away some of those billions and put it towards excellent customer satisfaction with its products and services.It should not be so purposely confusing as to what you actually get WITHOUT a subscription. Starting an automatic subscription upon setup of a camera to conceal the lack of functionality without out one until the 30 days has passed is a pretty shady business practice. Internet based tech companies get away with unchecked deception and shady practices as standard operating procedure, and its not just Blink, its all of them. Its too bad because for people who know exactly what they are getting, the Blink Minis are a great product even despite this. I think it backfires on Blink by raising people's expectations very high only to find out 30 days later that they now have to start paying a fee to keep those features they thought were included with the purchase of the device. And so they become haters of the product and company. You can see this in many reviews. This does not seem like a good long-term marketing plan to me.I hope this helps you make an informed decision whether to purchase the Blink Mini cams. Now if you purchase them you can be very happy with them based upon your correct expectations of the product.
Purchased camera last month in May to keep an eye on our tortoise while away. One of the best purchases we could have made to bring peace of mind. For the price being half what other cameras are - the picture quality is great, very clear and has a zoom in feature on the app so you can see better. Audio is wonderful, speaking through camera can be a little patchy at times but overall okay. Very easy to mount, install, and have a working camera within 15 minutes. App is wonderful to navigate through. There is a record button, along with motion sensor. Camera will send notifications to your phone. Overall a wonderful, cheap camera option! The only thing I have noticed that could be tweaked, is pictures can cut out, here and there, for a couple seconds at a time.I have never purchased a camera before so was skeptical to which would be best - So glad we went with this one!!! We have ordered more to place in other areas of our home.
We've been loyal to Blink since before we even got our dogs, originally just for basic home security peace of mind. But once the dogs came into the picture, these cameras became just as much a pet monitoring tool as a security one.Blink's whole ecosystem is a big part of why we've stuck with the brand. Between outdoor cameras, doorbell cameras, and plug in indoor options like this one, it's easy to build out full home coverage without mixing and matching brands. Setup has always been simple and quick, no complicated process to get a camera up and running.The real bonus for us as dog owners is being able to check in on them whenever we have to leave them home alone. If we notice either of them getting antsy through the app, we can actually talk through the camera to help calm them down before things escalate. Video quality holds up well both day and night, so we're never squinting trying to figure out what's going on.Great pick if you want reliable home security that doubles as a way to check in on your pets while you're away. The two way talk feature is a genuinely useful bonus for anxious or attention seeking dogs, not just a security gimmick.
The Blink Mini 3-camera bundle has been an excellent addition to my home security setup. Having three cameras made it easy to monitor multiple areas of the house at the same time, and the setup process was surprisingly simple. Within minutes, all three cameras were connected to Wi-Fi, added to the Blink app, and ready to use.The 1080p HD video quality is impressive across all three cameras. Daytime footage is sharp and detailed, making it easy to recognize people and monitor activity throughout the home. The infrared night vision also performs very well, providing clear images even in complete darkness.One of my favorite features is the motion detection. Each camera sends timely notifications through the Blink app, allowing me to quickly check live video whenever movement is detected. The two-way audio is another useful feature, making it easy to communicate with family members, check on pets, or respond to someone in another room.The biggest advantage of the three-pack is the flexibility it provides. I was able to place one camera near the front entry, another in the living room, and a third overlooking another part of the house. Having multiple viewing angles provides much better overall coverage than relying on a single camera, giving me greater peace of mind whether I'm home or away.The cameras themselves are compact, well-built, and blend nicely into almost any room. They maintain reliable Wi-Fi connections and have consistently performed without unexpected disconnects. Integration with Alexa is also seamless, allowing me to pull up live feeds on compatible Echo devices using simple voice commands.Considering everything included, this bundle offers outstanding value for the money. Purchasing three cameras together is much more economical than buying them individually, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to expand their home security system all at once.Overall, the Blink Mini 3-camera bundle delivers excellent video quality, dependable performance, easy installation, and versatile monitoring throughout the home. If you're looking for an affordable indoor security solution that provides complete coverage without a complicated setup, I would definitely recommend this three-camera package.
I have mixed feeling on the mini Blinks. I have the Blink outdoor units as well as the doorbell, all of which work fine and have done so for a couple of years. In fact I have a few that I have never installed. I ordered the mini's for use indoors to monitor the front door and pets. Unfortunately for some reason they occasions disconnect and require being reset (unplug from the AC and plug back in). This works and sometimes it doesn't. I actually replaced one that I could not get to reconnect even after doing a hard reset and reinstalling thru camera in the app. I had to do this twice and on the third time it went out, I assumed it was the camera and bought two more. After less than a month, the new camera started doing the same thing. I replaced the USB cable and the power block thinking that might be the cause but then it happened again. I did not think it might be the sync unit until the other camera located in another area started doing the same thing (both cameras at the same time). I unplugged the Sync unit and waited and they started working again, but I did this previously when the first camera went out before buying a new one. It's not my network or location of the camera (distance from the sync unit) since I am in a small Condo and each camera is less than 30 feet away from where the sync unit is right next to the router.My next step will be to replace the sync unit, but my patience and satisfaction with the Blink mini product is wearing very thin. The App could also use some work, as it is very basic and very disappointing that they have not made many upgrades in terms of features. How difficult would it be to add a feature to allow your cameras to arm automatically at a preset time like even the ridiculously name Chinese branded products that I wouldn't trust.I'm not at a point where I want to abandon the product completely since I have so much invested in it, with many cameras between my house and condo. Like I said the outdoor units have worked flawlessly, despite having given me low battery warnings on occasions, yet they are still operating without any issues after several years of being deployed. I don't arm them that often and they are not designed to be armed all the time, otherwise the battery will be dead after a few days due to movement. They are great for monitoring door activity where there should be none.With the issues I've experienced with the mini's so far, it is hard for me to recommend them, particularly since I bought new cameras for what appears to be no reason at all. The next time the stop working and the LED starts flashing, I'll replace the sync unit, but after that, the mini's will go in the trash as well as the Blink reputation. They are too unreliable for monitoring activity indoors particularly your front door when it is connected directly to AC and can be used continuously without having to worry about batteries.The image and night vision quality are good, but image rotation is limited. You can flip the image if you mount the camera upside down, but not when the camera is angled. If Blink fixes to connectivity issue between the sync unit and the minis, and includes the ability to for the software to automatic reorient the image so that it always right side up, this would be a great low cost solution for in home monitoring. As it stands, they are unreliable.I'm not going to replace the sync unit pre-emptively, but once the issue reoccurs as it did last week, I'll do so and then wait to see if it happens again. I'll update my review at that time, otherwise I'd suggest using the Blink indoor unit and just connect it to the AC vs. using it indoors on battery power. The mini are small enough not to be an eye sore or immediately noticed. YMMVYMMV
Me gusta la simplicidad de conexión , no me gusta que no se puede expandir a que grabe en Dvr.
En ninguna parte advierte que la compatibilidad con Alexa esté supeditada al país. Por lo que, no cumple con lo que ofrece
