Customer Ratings & Reviews

It doesn't take up much space and the pictures are clear. I'd recommend buying to keep an eye on pets when they're left at home or child's room for monitoring.

{TLDR: I have it so I’ll use it and I like how much fast this camera connects when I say “Alexa, show me the back door” but I wouldn’t buy another one because of all the extras that need to be purchased to make it work as it advertised on the box.} There are a few things to be aware of UP FRONT and that are mandatory to purchase in order to get access to all of the “benefits” listed on the camera’s description and packaging. The benefits listed are not available just because the camera was purchased…other purchases for accessories and subscriptions ARE REQUIRED to access the “New Features” that this camera advertises. Too many non-included extras are needed to make this work to its potential and that REALLY INFURIATES ME! This is NOT AN OUTDOOR CAMERA WITH WHAT COMES IN THE BOX! A Separate purchase must be made to buy a Separate Cord that is “Water resistant” and provides a longer reach and even though it is longer than the INDOOR ONLY CORD that comes with the camera, it is still too short, in my opinion. The SEPARATE Outdoor Cord has a Huge “box” along its length that needs to be hidden, stored or mounted somewhere where water doesn’t puddle. The end that plugs into the camera provides a tight seal to keep moisture out. That same end is built as a 90° plug & due to the size and shape of it it is impossible to fish into conduit of normal size to further protect it from the elements, damage and vandalism. Although it is longer than the cord that actually comes with the camera it is still too short for many outdoor applications & there’s that large “box” built-in the cord to still contend with. In fact, even the “indoor” cord is too short & this camera suffers from the same as all the other BLINK MINI Cameras in that I would need to purchase a longer cord for use indoors and the “longer” cord now available for outdoor use isn’t long enough and it is bulky and cumbersome to use. The marketing on the camera in the camera's own packaging and descriptions as being an “Indoor/Outdoor Security Camera” & then NOT INCLUDING the water resistant power cord as standard, in the same box as the camera is really poor practice, in my opinion. If I were to have ordered this online or picked this up in store & see “INDOOR/OUTDOOR” on the box (description) then brought it home to install outside & found out that I needed to buy an additional accessory cord that isn’t in the box already would have infuriated me! A separate cord MUST BE PURCHASED in order to use this outdoors! For the life of me I don’t understand the marketing mentality here. It is not an “Outdoor Camera” if you do not supply the camera with the accessories needed for it to be used outdoors in the same box the camera came in that says “INDOOR/OUTDOOR” ON THE PACKAGING!!! (...with tiny little asterisks next to the caveats in very fine print on the box.) Why not just include the Outdoor Cord in the box because it can be used indoors or outdoors? There is no reason to have 2 separate cords & make me buy extra stuff to make it work as listed on the product’s details! It makes no sense, unless I was the one trying to make profit from the sale of the device to the public. SECOND CON (Pun Intended): There is a 'BETA' option on this camera, in the app, to detect motion only "if it is a human" & it “kind of” works. I have countless (literally) motion captures labeled as “PERSON” and all the clip shows is a stick blowing in the wind or my umbrella moving around from the wind…NOT A PERSON! It’s not perfected, to say the least, and it is only available if a subscription plan is active on the camera. So it is a pay to play service that doesn’t even work! The Camera does come with a free 30 day “trial” access so a user can see if the subscription fee is worth it to have access to this feature and a few others. This feature alone, being that it doesn’t function properly shouldn’t be part of the subscription level in my opinion. Especially with all of the competitive options on the market that offer better tech that actually functions correctly and that tech isn’t tied to a subscription. The "all motion" detection selection works perfectly also and this is my preferred setting for all of my BLINK Cameras. My view on it is that, I would rather have too many recordings triggered than take the chance of it not triggering due to a setting or “BETA” testing issue because the feature has not been perfected yet! Last I checked I was not on the payroll with BLINK and quite the contrary, I pay them EVERY MONTH! I really do not like paying a company to do their testing for them on a “BETA” …”FEATURE!!!” I wish that upon release this “BETA Human Only Mode” was not “BETA” and was already tried and true having been tested by the company BEFORE sending it out for sale and listing it as a benefit of the purchase. It is not a benefit to me on the item unless it is 100% full functional and working properly and I do not like ordering things and then being part of the testing procedure for the new features WHILE PAYING A SUBSCRIPTION FEE TO ACCESS THAT FEATURE!!! Oh yeah, by the way, this 'BETA' human only detection feature is only available with a premium payment...AKA a "subscription fee." So another add-on cost to the end user just to use the camera as it is advertised. The subscription fee is the same as all their other cameras but I disagree with advertising features of the camera and then not allowing access to those features unless I pay more every month. I, personally, feel that is a bit deceiving and I don't appreciate that marketing mentality. This “BETA” feature is the only thing I can see different in the software vs. other BLINK Cameras I am using and this “feature” in my opinion isn’t all that special for it to be locked out to users that do not have a monthly subscription attached to the camera. There are competitive options out there that have much more advanced features than the “human only” detection available on this one and they include the access to those features as part of the user experience of the camera and just for buying the camera. THIRD CON: The volume on this camera is TERRIBLE!!! Even turned all the way up it isVERY LOW volume and this effect is multiplied when placing the camera outside. I was hoping that since this camera has the ability to be outdoors that the speaker volume would be able to handle the demand of an outdoor placement. It does not and fails miserably. My indoor BLINK MINI is way louder than this camera in side by side testing. Lower volume on an outdoor camera just doesn’t make sense to me and in real world use people cannot hear me very well at all when talking to them with the BLINK MINI 2 and because it is so small it is even hard for them to find so they can try to get closer to it to hear what I am saying to them. PROS (Short List): If you are familiar with BLINK Security Cameras this one will be a standard add on for you as it was for me. I have a couple other BLINK devices already so I am already familiar with the service. For those new to BLINK this is still a simple set up and no techy knowledge is required to be up, connected and running in under 5 minutes. This camera does connect faster than my other cameras when I send a request for the feed via the app, but especially noticeable when saying "Alexa, show me the backdoor." I am used to my other cameras lagging for quite a while when asking Alexa to show them but this one pops right up! THAT firmware upgrade is REALLY APPRECIATED and I WISH on a falling star that they would push that out to the rest of the cameras! The camera records very clearly and works well at night with or without the built in LED. The LED can be set to on or off, can be set to stay on for different amounts of time and also to trigger with motion to aid in video capture quality when recording at night. The footage looks really similar to my other BLINK Cameras with ~maybe~ a slightly better quality although it is tough to tell and it might be just a placebo effect. It is quite clear, crisp and defined and nighttime captures are the same whether or not the LED is set to trigger or if it records in night mode. In the app there are very minor differences to the camera controls vs. other BLINK Cameras. Basically this is a BLINK Mini with an LED, that can go outside if you buy the extra outdoor cord and it responds faster when wanted to display the feed using a voice request. I have not found this camera to be “ground breaking’ or worth singing from the mountaintops about. In fact, the way it is packaged and supplied has done quite the opposite and has irritated me more than anything. It does work well except for that “human only” motion detection option but luckily that can be unselected in the app because it does about the same as “detect all motion” and in my testing there doesn’t seem to be any difference between the two. Overall, this camera has TOO MANY EXTRA ADD-ON COSTS & MANDATORY EXPENDITURES associated with it in order for it to live up to its “On The Box Promises” and I find those extra costs unnecessary as a consumer and very distasteful! I would only recommend it as far as general overall performance is concerned when compared to other BLINK Cameras and if one was OK with all of the extra spending involved to get full access to the camera’s advertised “new features.” The low volume on the camera is a huge issue for me as well as paying a subscription to aid in testing a BETA feature that clearly doesn’t work. I would not buy this camera again. This one disappointed and failed in too many ways for me to recommend it to friends and family and the only thing I liked about it was its ability to load a feed faster than my other cameras load their feeds when requesting them with Alexa or through an Amazon device like the Fire TV cube or a Show 8. I would for sure look past this in the future knowing what I know now about it.

loved it! worked really well and the audio worked well. used it to keep an eye on pets

Wonderful deal! I got this with my set of 3 blink outdoor wifi and absolutely love them. The price is affordable and the subscription is also very affordable with great quality! Easy install and set up. Love these!

Exactly what we were looking for! This camera is perfect for keeping an eye on our dogs while we're away. Setup was quick and effortless, and connecting it to my phone was a breeze. The picture quality is excellent and definitely worth the price. My only complaint is the lack of night vision unless a light is on in the room—but overall, we're very happy with it!

East to install and works great. Quality is good for this small camera. I recommend it.

Grabbed this two pack on Black Friday for in and outdoors, both work perfect, have had zero issues with setup or usage!

So easy to setup and now have peace of mind knowing that i can keep an eye on my pets while im gone.

The cameras were an easy install ! They had high def and a clear picture 10/10 recommend as a starter home security.

So far, clear crisp color picture. Compact size, nice to have the light and seems to pickup sound quite well.

100% nice camera for home, parking garage and easy to setup

Excellent performance for price. Great voice and clean views

Good camera quality and can be fit at any location. Worth for the price

Great camera works great clear view and great motion detection would recommend

The camera is easy to set up. They work great! And the price is very reasonable.

great mini camera,good price and easy setting for a senior like me

Was an easy set up and the unit works as it should

Purchased 2 years ago on sale and love it! It's very sensitive to movement, which is a good problem to have. I do have to refresh the thumbnail myself at times but definitely not a deal breaker. Definitely recommend.

LOve it!! very easy to set up I had it live in about 5 minutes. I love that it plugs in so that I can view live pics of what my cats are doing and I can talk to them when I am at work. No batteries to worry about. It was a very good price.

Noticeable upgrade from the previous generation. I’ve bad multiple original blink minis that performed well. I needed a couple more for a separate location and when I noticed they had new ones on the market I had to try them when I was very happy and impressed with the upgraded performance and quality that I gave my others away and bought a whole new set. Great job Amazon. I also have the Outdoor 4’s
