    You just cannot beat the quality of this camera and system for this price point. These blink camera truly open up the door for security camera systems to anyone and any budget now and you cannot beat the quality on these at this price! It’s the simplest camera to setup by a long shot… and I’ve set up at least 10 other brands of cameras and there is nothing faster and easier than this. I think it took me 3 minutes total and that’s only because I had a firmware upgrade I had to complete! I have this camera monitoring a building on my property and it’s done fantastic so far. The WiFi signal is very weak in this building from my home, but it still works flawlessly. You can play with the settings and have it setup perfectly to capture whatever it is you’re trying to monitor. Once I setup the camera, and put it in place I haven’t had any issues. No movement besides me walking into and out of the building and working in the building which is exactly what you want! No false alarms on movement nor anything like that. Just peace of mind!

    A compelling home camera contender at a good price

    The Blink Mini 2 is a good, wired home security camera at a relatively low price. However, that value proposition comes with a couple of caveats you should know before deciding the buy it. A little background: I’m no stranger to home security cameras, having owned one of the first generation Wayze home cameras years ago, and I currently own a handful of Eufy outdoor 2k wireless security cameras with a video doorbell, as well as two SimpliSafe cameras (an indoor wired camera and an indoor/outdoor rechargeable camera). My main system it the Eufy’s setup. I prefer it because all my recordings are stored locally on a device located within my home which means no monthly subscription fees, plus the outdoor cameras are wireless giving me added flexibility. My second system is tied to my actual home security system with SimpliSafe, and those cameras activate when I arm my system from a keypad. However, Simplisafe is not a free service and does have a monthly cost associated with it. While the Blink Mini 2 is a wired home security camera, it offers the flexibility of functioning locally (all recordings saved to a device in your home) like my Eufy system, or with a monthly subscription that saves your video recordings to the cloud, like my SimpliSafe system. Both options will cost you some money, because unfortunately the Blink Mini 2 does not have an SD card ports or any USB slots directly on the device for local storage. That means you have the following options: 1) You’ll need to buy a $50 accessory called a Sync Module 2, plus a flash/hard drive for storing the recordings locally. The Sync Module 2 will allow you to capture from several devices, not just the one camera. That means you can add more devices later on if you want. 2) You can pay a minimum of $3 per camera a month for the luxury of saving your recordings to Amazon’s cloud. There are more plans that bundle some devices/camera costs together for a little savings though. But it is an ongoing cost to consider. 3) Or you can simply live without either of the two above options and you’ll simply get motion alerts sent to your phone, you can then pop into the app to view the live video feed at any time. But you won’t have the ability to record any activity. So, this unit has flexibility going for it. As for streaming video quality, I think it’s good for such a small unit. I’d compare it to the quality of my other cameras. Eufy has some higher end camera offerings on the market for far greater initial up-front investment, and some of those options give you wireless flexibility. However, at $39.99 this little camera itself, a $50 Sync Module 2, and a $20 flash drive, well for a grand total of about $110 you have yourself the start of a full security system that you can add additional Blink cameras to. As for app quality, all these systems have a very similar layout: a few tabs at the bottom of the app for viewing live Device feeds, a timeline of past recordings, and various settings for the cameras and app itself. Nothing blew me out of the water about the Blink app. It was instantly familiar. One thing I did find it frustrating is that it appeared as though you cannot arm a camera, meaning activate motion detection & recording, on an individual basis, rather, the whole system (assuming you had more than 1 camera) can be activated as a whole. Which seems weird if I have several cameras for inside and outside my house that I want to be used for different monitoring purposes. All in all, this is a decent offering in a competitive landscape of home security cameras. There are a ton of options that all offer similar user experiences, so find one you like and go with it. That said, Blink is a compelling contender at a reasonable price, so long as you go with the up-front cost of adding local storage option. Otherwise, the costs can add up over time.
