Product Price History

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.
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
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.

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!
Blink cameras. My husband is recently released from skilled nursing and is not supposed to try to stand up or walk unless he has on a gait belt and I am holding on to it to steady him and thus prevent falls. But, he doesn’t listen and often tries to get up on his own. I purchased a motion activated baby monitor to alert me at night when he tries to move around. But, it has a limited range. I saw these cameras and they are perfect. They’re very easy to set up and provide a clear picture. My phone alerts me to any motion from my Blink doorbell or either of these cameras. Since there are two, I put one in his bedroom and one in the room he is in during the day. The great news is it works even if I am not home and someone else Is staying with him while I run an errand. There’s a little lag in time but not much and I can see him and talk to him
***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.
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!
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.
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.
Great for indoor camera at valuable price. The Blink Mini smart security camera is a fantastic, affordable option for indoor monitoring. The 1080p HD video quality provides clear images, even in low light, thanks to its night vision feature. Motion detection alerts work reliably, and the two-way audio lets you communicate through the camera. Setup is quick and easy, and it integrates seamlessly with Alexa for added convenience. Compact and discreet, it’s perfect for anyone looking to enhance their home security without taking up much space.
The Best. This is the best indoor camera I have ever had. Installation and setup takes 5 minutes. The picture is so crisp and having the option to talk to your pups is a great accessory. The Blink app is incredible and so easy to use. This is an amazing camera for the price. Durable camera while still being discrete, easy to “hide” amongst home decor. It has a large view and it is crisp and clear. I will never go back to another brand.
Great Cam. Works great, small and has a great app easy to use with night vision and motion detection that you can arm or disarm to notify you straight to your phone!
LOVE these. Work exactly as described the design fits right in with the house so we hardly see them, they mounted very easily and have decent video quality. Plus I don’t have to worry about battery life unless we lose power to the house.
Love these cameras. Cameras are great! Had a little trouble setting them up and customer service was absolutely fantastic with helping me. Really good quality video and sound, easy to mount, honestly can’t find any downsides.
Good purchase. Works great for an indoor camera. I actually have mine facing my driveway from the upstairs window and seems to work just fine. It’s nice not having to worry about a battery. If having a battery does not matter to you they’ve upgraded since and I’ve heard positive things with upgrades however, I am happy with the purchase at the time I made it. The quality is good, the video is good, and having any issues with it function.
Business use. I recently tried out this product and overall, I’m pretty satisfied. It does exactly what it claims to do, and it’s pretty straightforward to use. The quality feels decent, and it seems like it’ll last a while. Price-wise, it’s fair—not too expensive but not super cheap either, which makes sense for what you’re getting.One thing I really liked is how convenient it is; I didn’t have to spend too much time figuring it out. It worked well right out of the box. Of course, like anything, there’s always room for improvement, but nothing major stood out as a dealbreaker.If you’re on the fence about getting it, I’d say it’s worth a try. It’s a solid choice overall!

The installation was simple and hassle-free, and the image quality is sharp, even in low light.

The two-way audio is a fantastic addition, making communication convenient when necessary.This camera offers great security and reassurance at a budget-friendly price. I strongly recommend it to anyone in need of a dependable and user-friendly security system!
