    Its my second purchase of this small but mighty camera. Its tiny enough not to take up a lot of space, easy set up AND the resolution is stellar. Great price, highly recommend.

    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!!

    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.

    Disappointing and not worth the purchase

    I really liked these cameras at first but after having them for over a month, I’m extremely disappointed. Quality is good, sound is good, night vision is good, but I wish we had the option to record what we are seeing in real time. From time to time I will check the cameras manually and see something cute (my cats cuddling or something) but there is no “record now” option. It chooses on its own when to record, however, the clips are often cut into pieces and the thing being recorded isn’t recorded for long. Lots of cute “movement detected” recordings are cut way too short. Another huge disappointment is realizing the monthly payment once the free trial is over is $12/month. That’s ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!! I can’t stand these money gouging subscription tactics. You already made the money off me buying your product, now I have to CONTINUE paying for it to be actually useful? I am a nurse and I work 12 hour shifts, leaving my pets alone during that time. I am not able to manually check the cameras often. Not being able to get any motion detection notifications unless I spend more money is ludicrous and makes the whole purchase a waste of time. My home can get broken into, and I would not know, because I refuse to spend that unnecessary extra money. If you are considering this product, look elsewhere. There are cameras a little more pricier that will give you all the same features and MORE without needing to continue paying more each month. I WISH I did my research earlier.

    Tiny and easy to install but they are great. Picture and sound are good. You can make adjustments to the sensitivity for motion activation. Easy to delete clips that you don’t need.

    Great for security at apartment complex leasing office. We have 6 blink cameras at the office. They work great!! The blink app is great too. I like how I can set the notifications to either every movement or only during certain times of the day.

    I must say this product is worth it especially if you have a pet at home that you wanna monitor. You can even speak to them with the two way audio and you can turn the lights on with it to get their attention. No regrets here. I am loving it

    I love the light you can set to come on with motion. They are sensitive and I really had to work to get the adjustments so they didn't come on every few minutes, Maybe because they were detecting stuff and now that they have been up for a few weeks, I am finding they are not coming on like at first. I am thinking the cause for me getting them in the first place has found out they are there and work very well. Only thing I wish, is that I had gotten them when I got the Doorbell and installed everything at one time. Gives me a nice peace of mind.

    Cameras work well when armed but don’t stay on permanently unless they’re armed. Night vision works well and the updated cameras have a light that turns on. They work well for what I need them for.

    This product is really good. The only thing I feel is that sometimes the camera I put in my living room is not capturing movement like I would like it to. I have this camera to help protect my home and family that is why it is important I don’t know if it is the way I posited it or the something else. However, the camera picture and video are really good. The app is easy to use which makes it simple to do what I need to do to monitor the videos that are saved. I like that the cloud storage is a good price.
