Blink - Mini 2K+ Compact plug-in security camera, 2K video resolution, color night vision, enhanced audio - 1 Cam - White

Quality is great, easier mounting. Only issue was mount stands came broken.

Their subscription cameras I guess after my free 30 days they'll only be good for live view now I know why I've never half off I say $48 on two I guess I got my months worth I went ahead and put another ADT camera in my room I should have done it first off I added it to my system

As an avid user of Blink cameras, this is the first wired one and was wondering how the Blink Mini 2k+ would work out. So far so good … Good: Size Weight Mounting Kit Light Meh: Buggy Recording Notifications since adding Bad: Non-grounded outdoor USB plug Can’t gift subscriptions I have Google wireless & wired cameras and a doorbell (2), I have a hardwired PoE NVR system (5) and I have Blink (9). Overkill? Not really as each of them have their limitations for me and some serve other purposes, like watching wildlife on the property. Coming out of the box, is a simple camera with a decent length USB-A to C cable and a traditional non-grounded USB-A charging block, which I find a bit odd. Weight wise, it’s on the lighter size compared to the Google Nest Cam (although that is indoors only) but similar in size and it comes with some mounting hardware, should you need to stick it on a wall or ceiling. Going back to my camera setup - for my NVR, it’s not as good at night as I had hoped in some areas, but it records 24x7; I supplemented that with a Blink 4 and they are a good match. At the side of my house where the NVR camera isn’t that great, I used this new Blink Mini 2k+ and it adds so much value. At night, where an old straggler Blink 3 camera lives but fails to tell me what’s going on, this Mini 2k+ excels! Motion from deer on the tree line are now visible whereas with the old Blink 3, I had no idea they were using that as a path! Also, during the day, I get to see this annoying squirrel going back & forth tripping up the motion sensor and sitting on the trim sometimes blocking the camera! Speaking of motion sensors … an option to set the light to come on at night when motion is detected is pretty nice and there’s a siren capability along with extended live view. A downside to adding a new camera is you get the ‘subscription’ features for a short time knowing that if you get hooked, they won & now you’re a subscriber. For me, I have an old account so I get to keep videos without a subscription but I don’t get the cool new features - like extended live viewing with the Blink Mini 2+ once the trial ends. A few things that I observed / ran into that were odd … While I do have this in a covered receptacle under my porch, what happens when people want to use an outdoor extension cord and no cover? Will this last? I see the connection to the camera as nice and tight, but not the same for the charging block. Since adding the Mini 2k+, I am seeing notifications that it’s recording on the main screen but when it’s done, there is no recording - and as I had 8 other cameras before adding the Mini 2k+, I know that never happened before. Lastly, Amazon - Blink - please allow us to ‘gift’ subscriptions! I would love to get one for a family member but I can’t. Otherwise, recommended!
