This camera is amazing for the value and completely blew my expectations. Setup took just a few minutes to connect, and the app is incredibly easy to use, even if you’re not very tech savvy. The picture quality is clear, notifications come through fast, and checking the live view is really easy. If you want a security camera that’s affordable, reliable, and simple to use without dealing with complicated setup, I definitely recommend this one!
This mini camera is such a fun little gadget! It's compact, lightweight, and easy to take anywhere. Despite its small size, the picture quality is surprisingly good, and it's simple to use right out of the box. It's perfect for capturing quick moments, traveling, or giving as a unique gift. Overall, it's a great value for the price and exceeded my expectations. I'd definitely recommend it!
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.
The camera does pretty much what they claim. I bought it to spy on my mother's care givers, but never set it up as such. Recently I set it up in conjunction with two outdoor cameras to watch over my house while I took a trip. The app was fairly easy to set up, and they remote arming and disarming worked adequately. The audio is relatively poor, but, with fine hearing, can be understood. Resolution is good, and I have it set to record directly to a USB stick and do NOT use the cloud storage, thus, in theory, limiting Amazon's access to my data.I have this camera on top of a china cabinet to monitor the front door. When armed it usually detects if the door opens. My sister also monitors my cameras and sometimes will speak to me over this one when I come in the door.Deficiencies:1) This camera is powered by a USB cable and must be plugged in to a powered USB connection or power block. This means that, unless that connection is on a UPS, if your house power goes out, the camera ceases to function.2) Amazon can, and does monitor the camera (at least the audio) and will use that information for their own ends. Today I came in the door and my sister talked to me through the camera and I told her I had bought 120 lbs of birdseed. Afterwards I signed on to Amazon to order some items, and the "Recommended for Me" area at the bottom of the page was nothing but BIRDSEED! I do not know if the Amazon AIs also monitor the video but they are certainly tuned into the audio!Bottom line: A nice little camera that will perform as advertised, IF YOU DON'T MIND AMAZON LISTENING IN. As a result, I strongly recommend that you do NOT have the camera aimed at any place where you would perform anything of a sensitive nature, such as a safe combination, or a computer screen where you will enter usernames and passwords, just in case they monitor the video as diligently as they do the audio.
So far I am loving this mini camera! For those who live in Public Housing or visited one, you'll recognize instantly the look of these hallways from my screenshot. You know the importance of having things like these for various reasons, but on top of that list are: overall safety and theft of packages.After reading mixed reviews, I took a leap of faith in mine and let me say the video and sound quality are great! No complaints!Easy to set up. Just download the Blink Home Monitoring app, (yes that's the exact app name), set up a Blink account if you're new to Blink, link/pair your Blink account to your new device and you get a free 30-day trial of a Blink plan). Even the plans are pretty okay in prices (most expensive one I saw was about $20/month).Its perfect in size: PERFECT for apartment buildings, I have Verizon Fios at home so the connection is very strong for me - no connection issues for me whatsoever.As far as mounting, because these are concrete walls, I had no other choice but to use a double sided, industrial strength type of tape that I use for EVERYTHING around the house, so I didnt have to nail or drill anything.I know everyone has been having mixed reviews but Im loving mine as mentioned so on my end, I highly recommend it. Just look how clear my view is!!
I never thought I would be writing a review for a security camera, but after my unforgettable experience with the Blink Mini, I couldn't resist sharing my story. From the moment I set my eyes on this compact indoor plug-in smart security camera, I knew my home would never be the same again.Unboxing:When the package arrived, I eagerly tore it open like a kid on Christmas morning. Inside, I found the Blink Mini, beautifully wrapped in its pristine white color. I have to admit, the camera itself looked adorable, and I couldn't help but chuckle at its tiny size. It was like a cute little spy on a mission to protect my home.Easy Setup:Setting up the Blink Mini was an absolute breeze. Even for a technologically challenged person like me, it took no more than a few minutes. I plugged it into an outlet, connected it to my Wi-Fi using the Blink app on my smartphone, and voila! I was ready to go. It's worth mentioning that the app was incredibly user-friendly, guiding me through the entire setup process with clear instructions.Crystal Clear HD Video:The Blink Mini boasts an impressive 1080p HD video quality, and boy, does it deliver! The first time I viewed the live feed on my phone, I was blown away by the clarity and sharpness of the image. It felt like I was watching a high-definition movie, except this one was starring my own living room. The camera captured every detail, from the texture of my couch to the fur on my pet's back.Night Vision Magic:Nighttime is when the real fun begins with the Blink Mini. Its advanced night vision feature turned my house into a stage for some comical shenanigans. I caught my mischievous cat, Mr. Whiskers, attempting to conquer the refrigerator at 2 a.m. The night vision mode illuminated the scene in eerie green, giving Mr. Whiskers an otherworldly glow as he tiptoed across the kitchen counter. It was like watching a feline James Bond.Motion Detection Follies:The motion detection feature of the Blink Mini had its fair share of funny moments. Every time a fly buzzed around the camera, it triggered an alert on my phone. It was hilarious watching myself rush to check the feed, only to find out it was just an insect causing all the fuss. I even started a game with my friends, betting on how many false alarms the camera would give me in a day. It was all in good fun, and it never failed to provide a good laugh.Two-Way Audio Pranks:One of my favorite features of the Blink Mini is the two-way audio. Oh, the pranks I pulled on my unsuspecting family members! I would wait until they were in the living room, then remotely activate the camera's audio. Their puzzled expressions as they tried to figure out where the voice was coming from were absolutely priceless. I must admit, I took great pleasure in pretending to be the voice of their conscience.Works with Alexa Magic:Being able to control the Blink Mini with Alexa was a game-changer. I could simply ask Alexa to show me the camera feed on my Echo Show, and in an instant, my house became a live reality show. My friends were in awe when they witnessed this magical interaction. It felt like I had just stepped into the future, where security cameras respond to my every command.Conclusion:In conclusion, the Blink Mini exceeded all my expectations. It provided top-notch security for my home while offering endless entertainment. The easy setup, exceptional video quality, night vision hilarity, motion detection follies, two-way audio pranks, and seamless integration with Alexa made it a true gem. If you're looking for a smart security camera that will keep you safe and entertained, I wholeheartedly recommend the Blink Mini. Trust me, you won't be able to wipe the smile off your face!
The Blink Mini Indoor Smart Security Camera is a simple and affordable way to monitor indoor spaces. The 1080p HD video provides clear daytime footage, and the night vision works well enough for low-light monitoring, making it useful for rooms, entryways, or pet checking. 📷The motion detection alerts are responsive and help keep you aware of activity in the camera’s view. The two-way audio feature is useful for quick communication, whether talking to family members or checking in on pets.Setup is very straightforward, with a plug-in design that avoids battery charging concerns. The compact size makes it easy to place discreetly on shelves or desks, and integration with Alexa adds convenience for voice control and smart home use.Overall, this is a compact and user-friendly indoor security camera that delivers reliable basic monitoring features with easy setup and smart home compatibility.
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
