• A:Answer 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!

Q: QuestionWhat is the VERY LONGEST connection cord available for outdoor use ?

Asked 3 weeks ago by dissatisfied.

• A:Answer Hello Ace! The official Blink Weather-Resistant Power Adapter is 13ft(4m) long and is currently the longest available cable guaranteed by Blink to maintain the IP67 weather-resistance seal at at the back of the camera. If you need to go beyond 13ft I would recommend using a heavy-duty outdoor rated extension cord. The reason I recommend an extension cord is because if you run more than about 20-25ft of USB-power, you can run into "voltage drop", where the camera may reboot or lose connection due to power inconsistencies. Just be sure the connection point between the extension cord and the adapter is kept in a weatherproof electrical box to ensure it stays dry. Thanks for your question and I hope you have a great day!

Q: QuestionIs it auto volt

Asked 5 months ago by Anonymous.

This question was asked about the related product: Blink - Mini 2 - Home Security & Pet Camera(s) with HD video, color night view, motion detection, two-way audio - 2 cam - White

• A:Answer Hello. Thank you for your question. The Blink Mini 2 uses a standard 5V micro-USB power connection and comes with a power adapter. It is not battery-powered and requires constant power through the included USB cable and power adapter. While it's designed for use in most countries, you should verify the power adapter's input voltage specifications for your specific region, though typically these USB-powered devices can handle 100-240V input. I hope that helps and have a great day!

Q: QuestionI own an Estate Sale company. I need to use 6-8 cameras 24/7 for 3 days. Will they run & record continuously for that long? I have 500 + people coming through every day. Can I set them to motion for the overnight hours? Subscription cost for 8 cameras?

• A:Answer Yes, they will run and record continuously for that long. However, if you install a microSD card, it will record only what moves and or what you choose it to to save you the time and storage space of motionless recording. But to answer your question, yes they will run continuously 24 seven. They will only store what you choose and what moves.

Q: QuestionHello. I will be traveling out of the country and will leave my car. Will the the camera record from my car and send the pictures to me on my phone? I will be able to tap into Wi-Fi.

Asked 7 months ago by Rob.

• A:Answer Yes, these are wireless cameras and they attach to your Wi-Fi and you are able to access them remotely from anywhere. All you have to do is download the app and add the camera to your account. On the app. It gives you 30- day free trial without your debit card or credit card. It is $10 a month to purchase the plan which allows extra features when saving events on the cloud. You can still access the camera from anywhere without a membership, but if you want to keep any of the recordings you must have the $10 a month membership. It is also attached to your Amazon account. Now if you want something to record from inside of your car, I would suggest getting the outdoor 4 camera by blink. The outdoor four is wireless. It runs off of lithium ion batteries. It is very easily use and start up and again with the blink 4. You can save the recordings to the cloud using the core module which is usually with the purchase of an outdoor four blink. Or you can purchase the module XR and you can save the recordings on an SD card. The outdoor 4 camera does not necessarily need a membership or subscription to keep the recordings. If you have the module XR. You must have the module to have an outdoor 4 camera because the module is what hooks up to Wi-Fi. I hope you enjoy your purchases if you go with blink. I have thoroughly enjoyed it and I have four mini cameras and two outdoor cameras. My next purchase will be the doorbell or the outside spotlight

Q: QuestionWhy is there a lot of static when I am in live mode? I can barely hear the person standing next to the camera

Asked 7 months ago by Lisa.

• A:Answer 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!

Q: QuestionDo these cameras make a noise when turning on night mode or make a noise when just connecting to view from app

Asked 7 months ago by Anonymous.

This question was asked about the related product: Blink - Mini 2 - Home Security & Pet Camera(s) with HD video, color night view, motion detection, two-way audio - 2 cam - White

• A:Answer Hello, thank you for your question. Yes, the Blink Mini 2 may make a subtle clicking noise when night mode activates or when a Live View session starts at night, as the IR-cut filter mechanically engages. This sound is normal and can often be mitigated by disabling night vision in the Blink app's settings or, if the IR filter is the cause, by manually setting night vision to "On" or "Off" instead of "Auto". I hope that helps, have a great day!
