Q: How long is the power cord that is included with this camera?
A: The Mini 2 Camera comes with a 6' power cable.
A: I have several of these cameras looking through a window. Some work better than others. Daytime works good. Night is a problem because the little light comes on when activated and reflects in the glass.
Q: Can the base be removed? I'm looking for a camera for a very small space.
A: Hello Jane, thanks for reaching out! Yes, you can remove the base (or mount) from the Blink Mini 2 camera, and it's designed to be a snug fit, so you might need to pull with a bit of force. I hope this answers your question and I hope you have a wonderful day!
A: Yes, the Blink Mini 2 can absolutely be integrated with your existing Blink system! Since you already have the Blink doorbell and Outdoor 4 system set up, adding the Blink Mini 2 cameras will be straightforward. Here's what you need to know: The Mini 2 will connect to your existing Sync Module All cameras can be managed through the same Blink app You'll be able to view all your cameras (indoor and outdoor) in one place The setup process is simple - just follow the in-app instructions To add the Mini 2 cameras: Open your Blink app Select "Add Device" Choose "Blink Mini" Follow the prompts to connect to your existing system This will give you a complete home security solution with both indoor and outdoor coverage. The Mini 2's features like two-way audio and color night vision will complement your existing setup nicely.
A: Hello and thank you for asking this question. Blink cameras do not have the option to record continuously and instead begin recording once they have detected motion. The subscription cost for unlimited cameras at one address is $12 a month or $120 a year. I hope this answers your question and that you have a wonderful day.
Q: Does the camera support Wi-Fi 6 GHz
A: Hello and thank you for asking this question. Blink cameras require a 2.4 GHz connection to operate and would not be able to connect to a 6GHz WIFI source. I hope this answers your question and that you have a wonderful day.
A: Hello Rob, thank you for your question. You cannot use the Blink Mini 2 to record your car while you are traveling out of the country. Here's why: The Blink Mini 2 is a wired, plug-in camera that requires a continuous electrical power source. It does not have internal batteries, so it would lose power as soon as you unplug it from an outlet at your home. Even with a portable power solution, the camera needs to stay connected to your home's Wi-Fi network to send you notifications and clips. If the camera loses its Wi-Fi connection, you will not receive alerts. I hope that helps, have a great day!
A: Hello Lisa, Your Blink camera may have a static sound due to poor Wi-Fi upload speed, proximity to hard surfaces causing sound reflection, or background noise interference from other electronic devices. To fix this, reduce the camera's speaker volume in the app, ensure your network has sufficient upload speed, reposition the camera away from walls and corners, move it away from interfering electronics, and try a factory reset. If the issue persists, please reach out to Blink Support for assistance. I hope this information helps. Have a great day!

Truly a Best Buy from Best Buy!
I ordered two Blink Mini 2 cameras from Best Buy because it was definitely a "best buy"! The cameras are a significant upgrade from the previous model—much more robust. However, they unfortunately do not work with the existing pan and tilt units. The power adapter has been changed to USB-C, but even with an adapter, the camera does not recognize the rotating base. On the plus side, the cameras do not require the sync module, which may be an advantage for some users. The cameras come with two mounting options, like the previous version, but now they also feature a reset button. All in all, it was a great purchase, and the shipping was lightning fast. Thank you, Best Buy!!

Good quality camera
Camera is excellent. We have it connected to the outdoor outlets and there's been no issues even with heavy rain, of course you have to make sure the power doesn't get wet but we haven't had any issues. The night vision works well. The sound is high quality I can even hear the birds chirping at a distance so it catches that crystal clear.
