   5.0 de 5 estrellas Great Affordable Security Option
   The Blink Mini Compact Indoor Plug-in Camera Set of 2 is an excellent and affordable security solution. I use these cameras to keep an eye on my cat, Teddy, and for general security purposes around my home. They’re also great if you have a pet sitter, as they allow you to monitor your space remotely. The cameras provide good coverage and are easy to set up. While the video quality may not be as high-definition as other more expensive options, they get the job done effectively. Overall, they offer great value for the price and peace of mind when you’re away from home.

   5.0 de 5 estrellas Tiny but mighty!
   Y’all… this camera caught me by surprise! It’s not only amazing price wise but quality wise, I love it!I wanted something so I could see what my pet is doing plus for my safety as well. I bought this thinking it was wireless and bigger but turned out to be wired and tiny.Originally I thought I wasn’t going to be please but where I set it worked out for the best!Since it’s wired, you don’t have to worry about battery life. The design is small enough to hide anywhere. I love the features in the app. I love that you can rotate around for different angles so the functionality is flexible! Installing was easy! I didn’t need the screws so I used double sided tape and it’s been lovely!The clarity is amazing! Both day and night time!Plus it has a two way mic!If you need something quick and easy, this is your best option for the price!

   5.0 de 5 estrellas ***Update*** problems fixed and product works very well
   These cameras do not have motion sensors that send notifications to your phone, you aren’t able to go back and watch anything that has gone on. I have the blink subscription and am supposed to be able to do all of this stuff. I have unplugged them, reset them and made sure my phone was updated with all the correct settings. They do not work!!! I even had my son check them to make sure I had everything set up correctly, it is. These cameras are crap if you want to be notified of motion or if you want to go back and watch a live view. I am beyond the 30 day return window so I will eat the money spent and go find a better camera! ***UPDATE*** customer service reached out to me and they were able to diagnose and fix the problem. They were very helpful in getting my camera to do what it was supposed to do. Updated from one star to five based upon the product does work well, excellent customer service I received and the fact they reached out to me to help.

   5.0 de 5 estrellas An Unforgettable 5-Star Experience!
   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!

   5.0 de 5 estrellas Great quality and value
   This blink camera offers a very high quality picture in both light and dark and picks up on the slightest of sounds they are also motion control to record for your cloud service or local recording. They seem to be very durable and we’re easy to set up with the system. They easily connected to the Wi-Fi and to the blank app as well as to the Alexa app and offer a superior experience over other cameras I have used. When combined with cloud service and an entire garage of other blink cameras and the doorbell it made this an extreme value. This version is not a battery powered item it is hooked directly to an outlet and used for indoor use.

   5.0 de 5 estrellas No problems or issues!
   I absolutely love my Blink cameras!! I have Blink cameras inside and on the outside of our house. I have not had any problems with Blink cameras. For my outside cameras, I did have to purchase a WiFi extender, because my outside cameras were too far away from the WiFi box. ( not the cameras fault) Cameras have a wide angle view, clear video/pictures, easy to set up. Very reasonable subscription plan.

   4.0 de 5 estrellas Gets the job done
   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.

   Ben – diciembre 8, 2024

   4.0 de 5 estrellas UPDATED: Confusing cloud storage policy on these smaller cameras, but great product once clarified
   UPDATED: When I saw these smaller cameras announced I was excited and looked forward to adding them to my existing 5 camera Blink system. I figured these would be a great replacement for the XT/XT2 cameras that I had inside my house so I could then re-purpose those for additional outdoor locations. I thought this was a brilliant addition to the Blink camera ecosystem, adding a lower cost camera for indoor applications like mine where the benefits of the battery power and weather-proofness would be overkill. Soon as they were released I ordered up a two-pack to add to my system. I installed one of the them and found that the picture quality right out of the box wasn’t the best but once you change the video quality setting to “Enhanced” it’s right up there with the XT2 quality. The motion detection is a little spotty, as they use a new digital method of detecting motion (AI compares one frame to the next to check for changes). Some very subtle movement will show up, like a shadow moving across the viewing area, but then actually walking across it won’t (sometimes). A rep I spoke with said that they are working on an update to improve the consistency of that feature, which will be available as an over-the-air update since it is a digital-based feature, which I think is pretty cool. So originally my poor review was based around the cloud storage feature on these cameras. After I purchased these cameras I looked into the cloud storage feature as all of the literature I found on them stated that a subscription would be required. Since this is different than the previous XT & XT2 systems I was not pleased about this. After I posted my original review a rep from Blink reached out to clarify the cloud storage situation. So here is what I learned: If you already have an XT or XT2 system, then you can add these cameras to it without having to get a paid subscription. If you do not have a Blink system at all, and these cameras are the first ones you get, then you get a free subscription until December 31st, 2020; then you will pay $3/month per camera after that. By then though, they plan to have released a new sync module with an SD card slot so that you can locally store video clips without having to pay for a subscription at all. Personally I don’t think they intend to have too many people on the subscription plan, I think they see the SD card functionality being more of a selling point but they had to piggy-back the first adopters of these Mini cameras onto the cloud storage until the new sync module gets released. Maybe they had delays in getting the new sync module released at the same time as the Mini due to factory closings around the world right now. I am much happier after this getting cleared up, but hope that they update the cloud storage & subscription info on the product pages to make it much clearer how this all works. Had I looked at all of the available info before buying these, then I probably would not have purchased them based on the unclear info that’s out there. In the end, the savior of the situation was the rep that contacted me from Blink. He clarified all of my concerns, gave me a great amount of info on the product, and answered all of my questions (I had lot of them). To be clear, the rep did not once ask me to change my review, take it down, or in any way artificially influence me to do any of those things. The great job he did led to me to change this of my own accord, as they really took care of my concerns. One star deducted for the confusion but three added back in for the great CS experience. Good product can get you a buyer, but good service gets you a customer for life. Blink has done a fantastic job turning a disappointed (and misinformed) buyer into a satisfied customer. So to recap, if you have an existing Blink system, buy these and use ‘em where you don’t need the wireless ones. If you are looking to get these as your first Blink setup, get them knowing you will have the option of paying for a subscription starting in 2021 or a one-time purchase of a sync module with SD card slot to store your video clips.

    Hello fellow Amazoners,I purchased the Blink camera’s a week before i moved into my nee apartment. I’ve got tso toddler boys with me and I wanted to feel safe, when we depart and enter from our home.These photos display the front door, back door and living room area of my apartment. It does a great job showing me the live view, whenever i check to see whats happening in the home. It picks up every motion very well.Sound quality is just okay and here’s why. I keep the tv playing when away from home. It sounds distorted. Does very well and clear for live voice, but mot recommended in the way i described using it.The plumber and electrician both had to visit me this week, and their faces showed up clear as day. I can’t post their pics, since it’s against the law.Great investment for mothers who would like to feel safe with their little ones. Im buying my mother a trio pack of camera’s this week.

    5.0 de 5 estrellas Good Quality
    I bought this camera to use in my home, to catch the people coming in my home while I am gone. I was using an extra cell phone with the Alfred App which worked fine but better with the paid plan. Anyway, so setting up took a few minutes, very simple to do with the Blink Monitor App. My only complaint is there is an extremely loud screeching noise coming out of the App, the only way to get rid of it is to turn the audio off. You can zoom in which I could not do with Alfred. The picture quality is superb, I was talking softly and the camera picked it up, so audio is great. You automatically get the cloud trial plan for 30 days. It’s a small camera but gets big results. I highly recommend!

    the mini is better than the outdoor cams. Id probably just buy some of these and use them outside if I didnt get a bunch of the outdoor wireless ones as part of a package deal. Looking at the build, theyre not much different than the outdoor cams. If you put it under an eave it would probably be fine outdoors. Hard wire power is better anyway, the batteries on the outdoor ones dont last more than a couple weeks (eventhough they advertise 2 years).

    OK first off I’m not a tech person. Don’t know much about the cameras. There are adorable. Maybe it’s just because I’m not good with apps one thing I don’t like is they should tell you that you have to buy an extra adapter that runs about $50 or more in addition for the cameras to work That would’ve been informative prior to our purchase it would’ve saved the return so please read a carefully and do your research when purchasing blink cameras. There are other equipment that you need to purchase an apps for them to work. You simply don’t plug it in and it works. It’s more involved than that , I hope this helps

    4.0 de 5 estrellas Solid Camera Offering with Some Limitations
    Configuration: 5 Cameras, 1 Sync ModulePros:Good image quality, good motion detection, decent price.Cons:You can only watch/stream one camera at a time on the application. You can register multiple, but you can only watch one at a time.Simultaneous motion in mutiple rooms/cameras causes random jumping around of the video snippets it captures.Bought these in case of an issue while people are touring the house I’m selling. System is conspicuous (so people know the house is under surveillance) as a blue light goes on when motion is detected, which is good. Camera system sends clips when the system is ‘armed’ which follow the buyer from room to room, camera to camera (which is pretty cool). But, if there are many people in the house (like for an Open House event) then all cameras are triggered over and over and the video snippets jump randomly from one camera to another every second or so.Overall I’m happy with these and I understand that the random snippet issue is likely unavoidable but I would still like the ability to stream video from multiple cameras simultaneously to the app in near real time like other security camera applications do.

    2.0 de 5 estrellas One major flaw.
    I bought this to use as a baby monitor, thinking if the quality was good I would end up purchasing an outdoor set as well. I got it in this afternoon, and set up was super easy. The picture quality is excellent for the price point.The main issue for me is that there is no option for continuous viewing. The live view from the app will automatically shut off after 30 seconds if you don’t tap the «continue?» prompt. If I had known this ahead of time, I would have never purchased a Blink camera. I watch my daughter on a Fire tablet while I work at night, and it’s really not feasible to stop typing every 30 seconds to press a button.Maybe it’s my fault for not realizing it, but I don’t remember reading any information about the length of viewing time, so I assumed it would be like the Foscam I had sought to replace. If Blink ever adds an update for continuous viewing, I would repurchase in a heartbeat, but for now, I’m sending it back.

    4.0 de 5 estrellas A good, basic camera
    I live alone in a first-floor apartment, in a non-gated community, in an okay but not perfectly safe part of town. I can’t afford even a mid-price camera system and don’t have much technical knowledge when it comes to hardware. For the past several years, I’ve been using Wyze cameras to peek in on my dog while I’m gone, see who’s approaching my front door, and even keep an eye on and talk to maintenance workers in my apartment when I’m not there. But recently Wyze had a pretty big failure affecting most of their customers. Cameras went offline for hours on end, no one could log into their accounts, and (worst of all) communication was nonexistant. I hated not being able to check on my dog or see that my home was safe that day, so I started looking for other options, and Blink minis looked like a comparable solution. (To be fair, I’ve been using Wyze since 2017, and I’ve only run into whole system issues like this twice in that time.)Rather that replace all my Wyze cams at once, I decided to to get a few Blink minis and set them up for double-coverage in the areas most important to me — front and back doors, and my dog. I set a price watch on the Blink minis, hoping to get them at a sale price, and sure enough, I was soon alerted to a 3 for $40 deal and grabbed it. I fumbled a little in setting them up, not understanding the networks that were trying to connect, but I eventually guessed my way through it and got the first camera working. Oddly enough, Wyze had another big system failure right in the middle of all this, so getting all 3 Blinks going last night has already paid off. As for how the Wyze and Blink systems compare…The Blink mini and the app are a little lacking, to be honest, at least when compared with Wyze. Both cameras have motion detection, night vision, and 2-way audio, as well as an available $10/mo subscription plan (to save clips from an unlimited # of cameras). But while Wyze cameras allow you to continuously record to micro SD without a subscription or additional expense, Blink mini will only record clips to SD if you spend another $50 on their Sync module. A Blink subscription, however, will record 10-second clips when it detects motion and save them for 60 days on the cloud, no SD card required. (10 seconds is the default. I finally found the setting to change it to 30 seconds, which is the max.) But a Wyze subscription will automatically record longer clips, anywhere from 12 seconds to however long the motion continues (at least a couple of minutes, from what I’ve seen) and store them on the cloud for 2 weeks. So while Wyze doesn’t store them as long, they do record ALL the motion, even if it goes way longer than 30 seconds. Plus, Blink requires a 10-second break between clips, whereas a Wyze subscription just immediately starts recording, even if it’s only been a couple of seconds since the previous motion ended.Additionally, Blink just isn’t as feature-rich as Wyze. Blink has person detection if you’re on a subscription plan. Wyze does, too, but Wyze also has package detection, friendly face recognition, and pet detection. So if you want Wyze to notify you when someone drops a package at your door but not if someone just walks by, it can. Blink can’t do that. Wyze also allows you to set rules and schedules. For example, I have my Wyze cams scheduled to turn on notifications Mon-Fri at 7:30am (when I leave for work) and turn them off at 6:30pm (when I get home). The cameras are still on and recording motion clips to save on the cloud 24/7, but they’re not sending unnecessary notifications when I’m home. Meanwhile, every moment, still or motion, is recorded to SD card — and I didn’t have to spend $50 on another module. With Blink, I can only schedule times for the cameras to be on and looking for motion, or I can snooze the notifications for up to 24 hours, but I can’t actually schedule it not to send notifications at specific times.So what’s the verdict? Blink mini is a good, basic camera at an affordable price, especially if you wait for it to go on sale. The $10/mo subscription is worth it to save video clips, and the picture/video quality is good. If you’re already deep in the Amazon ecosystem with Ring doorbells, Echos, etc., then the Blink mini is a nice little addition. But if you’re not already devoted to Amazon devices for the home, Wyze offers more for essentially the same price. All that said, I’m not disappointed with my purchase. These 3 Blink minis allow me to keep an eye on things even on the rare occasion that Wyze fails me.

    5.0 de 5 estrellas PSA: Best purchase in years and might save me a butt load!
    I have a 1-year old 40 lb. tripawd fur kid that has the ability to Houdini herself to heights I would think were impossible for her. They said she was special needs because of her missing leg. I beg to differ. She’s special needs in the same way that The Hulk is when he turns! She has a voracious appetite…for my books, among other things. I used to have a few first editions prior to this beautifully destructive Aussie mix….sadly, only one remains and that’s just because it’s sentimental and I refuse to throw it out, even though it looks like it’s been through a war. She is a master of destruction! She’s the kind of dog that, when you tell her no, she’s going to devise 974 ways to creatively do the exact thing she’s not supposed to do. She’s found out how to unlock and open any number of doors and has eaten: 9 chocolate breakfast shakes, a 12 pack of Peach Nehi, half a case of Topo Chico, 7 Pepsis, a 20 count of busy bones, a pair of Sorel shoes, two pairs of Hokas, two pairs of Haviana’s (she really likes shoes and drinks), two remotes, an entire case of toilet paper, 3 textbooks, so many books I lost count, 3 pairs of readers, and so much more. So, needless to say, between trying to replace things or fix things, I’m BROKE! I had a camera, but due to the cord length, putting it anywhere useful wasn’t much help, and honestly would have just been one of the many casualties.I bought this because it was on sale for well under $20. I thought, «That’s about the most I can afford, I hope it f-ing works.» I’m so glad I did! The picture is nice and clear and the communication feature works great! I can check on them sporadically and have already caught her with a crime in process (another book, of course)! I think it freaks her out a little that she can hear me but can’t see me, but that’s the price she has to pay since she can’t keep anything out of her mouth. Just call me The Green Lady of the Midwest, I might be a protecting angel, I might be a vengeful spirit, that will depend on her.And before anyone gets their knickers in a twist, I love her more than words. So, while yes, she has destroyed many many many material things, they’re just things in the end and she gets spoiled rotten.

    4.0 de 5 estrellas 4 out of 5
    I’m really impressed with the Blink Mini security cameras! I purchased the 3-camera pack for my home, and they’ve been a game-changer for my peace of mind. The 1080p HD video is crystal clear, and the night vision feature works amazingly well. I also love the motion detection and two-way audio features – it’s great to be able to communicate with anyone who might be in my home when I’m not there.My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that the battery life could be longer. However, since these cameras are plug-in, that’s not a huge issue for me. Overall, I’d definitely recommend the Blink Mini cameras to anyone looking for an affordable and effective home security solution.

    5.0 de 5 estrellas Impressive performance for affordable price!
    5-Star Review: Impressive Performance for an Affordable PriceI recently purchased the Blink Mini indoor security camera, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in many ways.Setup and Installation:The setup was incredibly straightforward. The camera plugs directly into a power outlet, and using the Blink app, I had it connected to my Wi-Fi and operational within minutes. The app is user-friendly, guiding you through the steps clearly.Video Quality:The 1080p HD video quality is fantastic for such a small and affordable camera. Even in low light, the night vision works well, providing clear visibility of the room. I was impressed with the crispness of both the daytime and nighttime footage.Motion Detection:The motion detection feature works reliably and sends quick alerts to my phone whenever activity is detected. You can customize the sensitivity and set specific activity zones to reduce false alarms, which is super helpful.Two-Way Audio:The two-way audio feature is a great addition. It allows me to check in and communicate with my pets or anyone in the room. The audio quality is clear on both ends, making it a handy feature.Storage Options:You can choose between cloud storage or local storage with a Blink Sync Module 2 (sold separately). I opted for cloud storage, which works well, though there’s a subscription cost after the free trial period.Design:The camera is compact and unobtrusive. It blends seamlessly into any room without drawing attention, which is exactly what I was looking for.Price:For the price, the Blink Mini is an incredible value. It offers features found in more expensive models, making it perfect for anyone looking for affordable home security.Pros:Easy to set upExcellent HD video and night vision qualityResponsive motion detection with customizable zonesTwo-way audio featureCompact designAffordable priceCons:Requires a subscription for cloud storage after the trialThe camera needs to be plugged in, so placement is limited by outlet availabilityOverall, I highly recommend the Blink Mini to anyone looking for a cost-effective, reliable indoor security camera. It’s perfect for keeping an eye on your home, pets, or loved ones, and offers excellent value for the price.

    4.0 de 5 estrellas I wish it did more.
    I got this little camera to replace my old one that had water damage. It works fine, but I’m a little bit underwhelmed. This one was a bit more expensive than the old one, and has fewer functions. I wish it had panning capabilities from the app, and the video quality isn’t the best. I also don’t like that you have to pay for the subscription to see your video/motion clips—my other camera would save them all for a limited time without a subscription. But for the most part it’s helpful to check in on my dogs when I’m not home.

    I have had a Blink hub and camera for a few years now and just upgraded to add more cameras this year. The costs is reasonable and the monitoring system is very low. I use only the basic one so I can’t comment on all the features they offer. But, I am very happy with this whole companies products and customer service experience so far. Thank you for doing your best in training your employees to be courteous and respectful with your customers. I hope to continue doing business with you for a long time.

    I already had another blink mini cam that I used for my dogs but I went on a trip and wanted one for each animal room. This time I had such a hard time setting up one of the cameras with WiFi. It would not connect properly and I spent hours trying to troubleshoot but ended up not being able to get it connected before having to leave on my trip. Still a good quality camera and my other ones were super easy to set up and use but maybe I just got a dud!

    3.0 de 5 estrellas Good for bare minimum expectations
    *I am still in my trial period* I wanted a camera in my lower level apartment for A) piece of mind and B) to make sure my cat is ok when I am gone for a night or two. The camera does what I need it to do…I can check using the live feed to make sure everything is ok.The sound quality is just not there. I have an automatic feeder that talks when it goes off and I can’t hear anything because of this loud, continuous humming type sound so I almost never watch my motion clips with sound on, there’s just no point. Even setting up the camera you couldn’t hear myself or my fiance talking, it was so muffled.The motion activation is horribly frustrating and I have gone through every setting in Blink and Alexa. My fiance has a Ring and his doesn’t do any of this. One day my camera will go off each time it switches to day/night mode but the next day it won’t. I have left it in «alarm» mode and walked into my apartment and up and down my hall, into the kitchen with no notification until I actually just stopped. Then I got a motion notification and it caught the usual amount of time but it was the last few moments of my time in there…not the initial entrance or walking around. So…if this was a security camera, not very helpful. One day my cat can be on the couch and it will notify me when she gets down and moves around…the next day she can be on the couch, hours later I will check in and she will have moved into the bedroom but I never got a notification she was up and walking around. It lags, skips around, or doesn’t record anything often. My fiance doesn’t ever seem to have any of these issues with his Ring camera so it’s just more frustration of usefulness than anything.I didn’t expect a whole lot but I expected bare minimum notifications and I don’t get that. I don’t think I’ll be moving forward with a subscription.

    1.0 de 5 estrellas Major Disappointment
    UPDATE 9/13/20What I feared – and predicted – would happen came to pass. Last Friday, 9/11/20, my landlord called me and asked me to review the footage on my cameras because another tenant had seen someone on the premises behaving suspiciously. I checked my Blink Mini app on my cell phone and sure enough.NOTHING.As usual, the cameras had STOPPED WORKING the night before sometime around midnight. As a result, there was nothing recorded during the day on Friday. Nothing.A few days earlier, I spoke to Amazon who said that, since the 30 day window had passed, there was nothing they could do. They suggested I deal directly with Blink, even though Bling is OWNED BY AMAZON, supposedly. I called Blink «tech support» (laughable) at the number the Amazon rep gave me.I wound up wasting 35 minutes with a woman who knew nothing about the Blink system, could barely speak English, and whose background sounded like she was rattling pots and pans in her kitchen. She asked me to hold a few times and, so help me, it sounded like all she was doing was rattling things around to give the appearance that she was actually doing something.As I’ve mentioned before, the Blink Mini cameras UTTERLY FAIL at their primary, stated, function: to provide you peace of mind relative to home security. Neither Amazon nor Blink will be of any help to you in getting your issue resolved and the only thing you will have accomplished it to waste your money.It’s too late for me but if you are considering purchasing this system, I advise you in the strongest possible terms to look elsewhere. You may want to shop at Costco since they have a very liberal return policy.I hope people get to read this review since it appears Amazon has obscured many one-star reviews from site and only a few show up on the Blink Mini page. Do not waste your money on this camera.UPDATE 9/2/20I received an email on 7/28/20 from a Blink employee named Haitham. In part, he wrote:»I would like to clarify that we are fully aware of this issue where the camera will stay on the night mode and not fully recognize that it has to switch to the day mode, and that will mostly happen in the early morning once the sun rises. We are working one the fix and it should come automatically to your camera. In the meantime as a work around, you may need to schedule disarming the system in the early morning and arm it back right after.»As of today, ZERO has happened.I want to be clear that the Blink mini camera can be a genuine hazard to your well being because of this issue. It simply goes off a ledge around midnight and NEVER wakes up unless you remember to wake it. This means you could be away from home and be burglarized. You think you’re covered because you have the Blink camera system only to discover that it has recorded absolutely nothing.The worst case scenario is you and your family go out to dinner. While you’re out, intruders get into your home. Since the camera stopped working at midnight yesterday, you are completely unaware you have unwelcome guests until you return home and walk in on them.In short, this system poses a danger to your well being because it fails in its stated purpose. Since Blink has done nothing to correct this problem, which is purely software based, you will be taking your chances by purchasing this system.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I purchased a two-pack of the Blink Mini. What attracted me was the low cost of the item. They were $35 each or the two-pack for $65. Turns out I might just as well have taken $65 and thrown it out the window. Of a moving car.I only set up one camera by a window, looking out through the glass. I was very happy to see that the motion sensing worked and it should have since all it’s doing is noting changing pixels. I was also happy to see that the microphone was sensitive enough to pick up what was being said on the other side of a dual-paned window.However, for some reason the camera decided to stop working or, more specifically, to stop sensing and recording motion. I first noticed this when I fired up the Blink app and noticed that all the clips were tagged «Yesterday» and none from «Today».It turns out that, for some reason, the camera seems to decide that its work is done sometime around midnight. Beyond that, it will NOT record ANY video UNLESS I proactively disarm and re-arm the motion sensing on the camera via the app. Alternatively, I can do a «Live» view to see what the camera is seeing, also through the app. Both of these actions have the effect of seeming to «wake» the camera up to a new day. From that point on, it will continue working as normal. Until midnight. At that point the whole process begins again.Another odd thing is that it records video – when it decides to actually work – only for a specified period of time, between 5 and 30 seconds. It OUGHT to work like motion sensing lights that turn on and remain on for a specified period of time BUT will stay lit if it continues to sense motion. These cameras should continue recording if the motion they detected continues or resumes within the designated video clip length. In other words, if you set a clip length of 15 seconds and 12 seconds into it the motion resumes, it should keep recording until there is no motion.The point of these cameras is to be able to set them up and forget about them until you are notified it senses motion. In this regard, the system is a complete failure. I tried power cycling the camera by physically disconnecting it from the power supply then reconnecting. Nothing. I tried deleting the camera from the app and re-installing it. Nothing. It’s got nothing to do with the app because it has no physical connection to the camera. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app and all the camera settings I had previously set were still intact, so it ain’t the app.As a last resort I did the unthinkable: I called «tech support». What I got was a call center somewhere in the Philippines and one of those maddeningly persistently cordial persons who is anything BUT «tech support». I finally just let him believe he actually helped me and ended the call.So here I am without a functional camera system and, of course, well past the return date. The bottom line here is that this system, ostensibly meant to alert you if there is an intrusion into your home, simply CANNOT be relied upon for that purpose. Your home could be broken into and you would be none the wiser. You would be much better off to do your research and purchase a system that, while potentially more expensive, will at least serve its stated purpose. This one does not.

    4.0 de 5 estrellas Pretty good little security camera for the price
    It has a good quality picture even in infrared. I’ve been using it with the free trial for it to record & it’s not bad. Today’s my last day of the trial so I’m going to be purchasing the subscription so it’ll continue recording. You also buy like a thumb drive to put your files in. If I remember to update this, I’ll give one once I purchase the subscription to keep it recording.The reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because it’s been having quite a bit of delay notifying me that ive entered the room just within the last 2 days. I have to get right upon it and wave my hand infront of it or move it slightly. I haven’t done anything different to make it have that delay so I’m not sure why it’s doing that. Other than that, I like everything else about it.

Everytime I turn on love view, especially the night vision, my dog freaks out and tries to get as far away as she can. So much so that I was worried she was going to break the window in my living room. The cameras are great otherwise. The night vision does great in a low light room. If you are thinking of trying one out, get 1 before buying enough for your home.

    B. Williams, Software Engineer – diciembre 8, 2024

    4.0 de 5 estrellas High quality video and audio, good mount, no batteries to change, but the «Talk» feature is useless
    I have several of both the Minis and the outdoor models, and this Mini is almost identical to the outdoor and indoor models in terms of quality and features. The only real difference between them is the Mini isn’t weather-proof, cannot handle the extreme temperatures of the outdoor models (-4 to 113 F), has a better mount, can be image-flipped, and runs solely on a power adapter instead of batteries.* Not Weather-proof: DO NOT use this mini camera outdoors or in an uninsulated building. It is not water-proof and will likely be damaged by humidity and high or low temperatures.* Mount & Image Flipping: this mount is great and allows easier installation locations than the indoor and outdoor cameras, because it’s mounted from the bottom/top instead of the back. Since this Mini can be mounted from the bottom or top, this means it can be turned at many more angles on all 3 axes than the Indoor/Outdoor. If you have to mount it upside-down, such as from a ceiling, the app simply allows you to flip the image vertically. The problem with the indoor/outdoor models is the mounting is on the back, which means you can’t «hang» it from a ceiling and point it in any direction. Instead, if you want to mount the Indoor/Outdoor on a ceiling or near the ceiling, you have a very small angle to point it. This makes the Indoor/Outdoor cameras inconvenient to install from above in most situations because you’ll end up having to point the camera directly outward from your mounting surface. If from a ceiling, it’ll face down. If from the top of a wall, it’ll face outward along the ceiling. The Mini’s mount is much better.CONS:* The «Talk» feature is totally useless. Regardless of bandwidth or proximity to the router or a sync module (purchased separately), the Talk feature produces broken sound that is impossible to understand. Plus there’s a long delay of 3-6 seconds, making this feature useless for conversations, even if the other person understood anything you were saying. Over several tests with all of our different Blink cameras, none of them produce clear enough speech that someone can understand you, no matter where the cameras are located.* No wired Ethernet option. This camera can only be used with a wireless router and Internet connection. There are no other options.* Cannot be used as a USB web cam* Cannot be used for continuous live feeds. The live feed only allows up to 30 seconds of viewing, and you must hit a Continue button every 30 seconds to keep it going. So if need a camera to leave running for frequent live video, Blink isn’t what you’re looking for.* Cloud Storage Subscription semi-requirement: the Blink Home Monitor App’s features become limited if you don’t purchase a cloud storage subscription. If you stick with the Sync Module for local storage and do not purchase any of the cloud storage plans, VIDEO CLIPS CANNOT BE VIEWED THROUGH THE APP. The app will only allow you to view the live feed, adjust camera settings, and use the Talk feature. Without a cloud storage subscription, the only way to view your camera’s video clips is by physically taking your USB storage device (purchased separately) out of the Sync Module (purchased separately) and placed in a USB port on a computer (purchased separately).To be very clear here, if you do not purchase a cloud storage subscription, you will not be able to view any of the stored video clips (including motion-activated clips) from your phone. Period. This point has not been made clearly anywhere in the advertisements, support screens, Amazon product pages, or Blink Web site, but it’s a crucial piece of information that the company is being very ambiguous about.To repeat, IF YOU DON’T PURCHASE A CLOUD STORAGE SUBSCRIPTION, YOU CANNOT VIEW YOUR VIDEO CLIPS THROUGH YOUR PHONE. I have seen some reviewers assert that this isn’t technically possible, but as a software engineer I know this isn’t true. The Blink developers clearly focused on developing the cloud storage and subscriptions, using the mobile app as the user’s «portal» app to access and view the cloud-stored video clips, and have simply decided not to develop a mechanism for the mobile app to access the video clips stored in your Sync Module. I want to be very clear here….this IS POSSIBLE and would require a lot of development to accomplish, but Blink just doesn’t provide this functionality (yet). Whether they are working on this feature and plan to add it in the future is unknown. But the lack of direct integration between the mobile app and the Sync Module’s local storage (over the local network, especially) is a significant shortcoming in the entire Blink system. This also means that if your camera loses its internet connection, it will not capture video, you can’t view the live feed, the Talk feature won’t work, and you can’t change the camera’s settings.. The Blink system simply does not allow the mobile app to connect directly to a camera or Sync Module on your local network. It is designed to use the Internet only. This is a very important point that customers must understand. Both the camera and the Sync Module require an active Internet connection to function. They will not work independently or with just a wifi router. Internet is required.

    5.0 de 5 estrellas Easy setup
    Even if this is your first Blink camera, setup is so easy, a caveman could do it. (Sorry, G** co)Download the app, tell it to add a device, and follow the easy instructions.Link it with your Amazon account for even more flexibility (can actually be done during the ordering process.If you have FireTV, you can even monitor cams on your TV. Can be linked with Alexa devices also.Update: Motion detection is sometimes triggered by insects flying close to the camera, possibly attracted by the IR light.

    4.0 de 5 estrellas Better than the Blink Mini 2
    Better camera for video where the camera is aimed through glass, such as a windowpane. You may have to turn off the night vision because the infrared light will reflect off the glass and wash out video. Only use night vision when there is no outside ambient light, and it’s pitch black. Still may wash out. If you use the camera for indoor surveillance, then the night vision can be used without issue. Blink Mini 2 has a spotlight that cannot be permanently turned off and the spotlight washes out video when trying to record through glass.

    4.0 de 5 estrellas Works Well
    The Blink system works well and is easy to set up. I recently had trouble with my sync module and a member of technical support reached out and sent me a replacement immediately, even though I have an older model. It works fine now and support was very helpful and responsive. The only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars is due to how long it takes to open the camera. Meaning, usually by the time it connects and opens on the app, the person at my door has already left. However, I’m not familiar enough with other systems to know if this is typical of all cameras.To add another positive, the batteries last a really long time. I’m on year 3 and haven’t had to replace them yet.Overall it’s a good, simple to install, trustworthy unit with good customer support. Would buy again.

    4.0 de 5 estrellas The camera itself is really good for the price
    It’s a great buy for the cost, you can get live video or save clips in which you can zoom in some to get a better view. Only issue I had when the app froze up for a moment.

    5.0 de 5 estrellas Great product for in home security and/or view
    Camera was easy to assemble, came pretty quickly, and now is a new addition to the rest of my Blink collection. Love the camera coverage as well that the camera provides. I have a pretty big living room and only have this one and I have a great view of the whole room.

    5.0 de 5 estrellas Love Blink
    I can’t say enough about blank mini cameras. We originally tried the ring stick up camera to use to watch our dogs when we were gone. It was a nightmare. Could not get it to connect to the Internet. I tried everything nothing worked. We purchased a blink. Mini camera worked right away. Good resolution. Easy to use and set up. Picture quality and images are clear. The price was very reasonable. We are very happy with our purchase. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy again.

    These are great, great value for the money. The installation took less than five minutes to hook up to our other blink system. The view thru the camera is great , gives a wide angle of the e tire area.

    4.0 de 5 estrellas Good camera
    I got this camera to watch my cats activities when I am not home. It does great job to capture movement but it doesn’t move with motions. It is easy to use. The connection is great at home. But sometimes I can hear noise when the camera is on.

    What can I say? These cameras are very clear to the edge. easy to assemble if you follow the steps on your phone. At night when I have all the lights off at home it looks like some night vision to the point it can see the tiniest dust. You would like this product. Stop hesitating and get it. This will be great!
