Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overall is good. Small size for space save. Low price for affordable. But needed to download app and pay monthly fees for camera recording then become another added on monthly expenses. Not like

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.

Excellent camera , works great, price is good, Easy

The moving sensor is very helpful especially when it describes what is moving in front of the camera.

I love these cameras, they have great quality! And now I can have my indoor and outdoor cameras all together in one app!

work good very happy with it i would recommend buying one

Excellent quality , sound and easy to set up i want few more for my family and friends

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.

Solid product and very affordable, great picture and easy app

Use this everyday and I absolutely love it. Great quality!

Works once you get it installed we had to say it was a doorbell on the app to get it to recognize it.

I recently installed the Blink Mini 2 Indoor/Outdoor 1080p Plug-in Security Camera to add a sense of security around my apartment, and I've been quite impressed with its performance and features. Setting up the camera was surprisingly straightforward. Following the instructions, it took me just a few minutes to get it up and running. Mounting the camera with the included mount was hassle-free, and the Blink app made it easy to connect the camera to Wi-Fi and integrate it with my Alexa devices. The Blink Mini 2 offers excellent video quality with its 1080p HD live view. The built-in spotlight enhances the night vision capability, allowing me to see clear, colorful images even in low light conditions—a significant improvement over typical black-and-white night vision. The broader field of view covers more area, which is excellent for monitoring larger outdoor spaces. The two-way audio feature is also crisp and clear, enabling me to communicate easily with anyone near the camera without any noticeable lag. However, there are a few downsides to consider. First, while the camera is relatively affordable, full functionality depends on additional purchases, like the outdoor power adapter and a paid Blink subscription plan for enhanced video storage and intelligent notification features. This can add up, making it more expensive in the long run. Also, the dependency on a strong Wi-Fi connection for optimal performance may not be the best choice in areas with weaker internet service. The Blink Mini 2 is a solid choice for a versatile and effective home security solution. Its easy setup and excellent video quality make it a valuable addition to home security efforts. Just be mindful of the additional costs for outdoor use and subscription services necessary to unlock its capabilities.

After 2 months, camera won't connect to blink servers. After many many emails with "customer service" all they do is attempt to guess what the problem is. Many the darn thing is non functional, how about that? They will not offer to repair or replace. After a few replies, they just stop answering. Will never buy their products again and i will make sure everyone is know is aware of the kind of company this is

One of the cameras is defective. I get error codes, sometimes it won't load, sometimes it goes from color to monotone, and the delay is horrible. Regret this purchase.

The Blink Mini 2 is a decent device, but not flawless. Despite some shortcomings, I'm satisfied with it and would suggest it to anyone seeking a simple, user-friendly camera. Upon receiving the camera, there weren't any physical instructions, with the included paper directing me to download the app. I assumed the app would provide information on mounting, but I discovered that it wasn't the case. I did discover there are instructions however it was after setting up the camera and already mounting it outdoors. More on that later. The setup process was straightforward, before deciding on mounting, I plugged it in and started the setup process. Creating a Blink account and connecting the system to my Wi-Fi was seamless. The app shows the network strength of the device and according to the app it’s ‘strong’. Before mounting, I tested the camera and there was noticeable latency within the app. It took approximately 2 to 5 seconds for the app to display movements compared to real-time actions. I assumed this was just initial jitters, but after mounting the camera, rebooting everything the latency persisted. I think this delay might be a minor inconvenience in most situations but a bigger issue if you intend to use it for two-way communication. The latency persisted regardless of the quality setting (Standard, Saver, or Best). For mounting, Blink assumes a basic level of mounting knowledge, which is understandable given its straightforward nature. However, not everyone may possess such knowledge, particularly for indoor/outdoor mounting. The kit however does include some basic anchors and screws. Along with some wire mounting screws and clips. I wish the app inquired about the intended use of the camera and provided mounting instructions through an OPTIONAL tutorial or directed users to the app's Help section for additional information and mounting instructions. This way the user knows there’s resources that can be explored. While I was planning the installation, I accidentally dropped the camera from a short distance, causing the mounting portion to detach from the camera. Surprisingly, I discovered two mounting options, one for the back and one for the bottom. It would have been helpful to have a tutorial explaining these options from the beginning. But this worked out in my favor because I actually was struggling to figure out how to get it the way I wanted with mounting it from the bottom which is how it came from Blink. This is explained in the help section of the app, but at the time I had no idea it was a thing. Once it was all set up, I planned on integrating it with my Amazon Echo Show. The Echo didn't automatically detect the camera which I found strange, but adding the Skill and signing into my Blink account was super easy. Using voice commands to display the backyard footage on the Echo Show worked well and worked as you’d expect it to. I didn’t have any issues integrating it to my smart home. In conclusion, while the Blink Mini 2 has some minor drawbacks, it's still a solid choice for anyone looking for an exterior camera. It's user-friendly and provides good video quality and is a great addition to my home. Now I can watch the kiddos outside and know if my dog wants to come inside with a simple notification.

I’ve been using the Blink infrastructure for the last several months. My system consists of several Blink Outdoor cameras and I do pay the 10 dollar a month subscription fee for video recording. I really like the Outdoor 3rd gen cameras, being how they are battery operated, they can be placed just about anywhere. The Blink Mini 2 is not battery operated; it must be connected to a power source at all times. It can be used inside or outside, but you’ll need to make sure that you have a place it can be plugged in. Set up was as easy as one would come to expect from a Blink product. Open the app, click ‘Add’, use the smartphone camera to take a picture of the code on the back of the camera, and follow the instructions to add to the system. I was up and running in less than 5 minutes. I have the camera sitting in the front window, facing out onto the street. The wide angle lens allows me to see nearly 180 degrees, catching the entire front yard and the door. This is definitely a much more powerful camera than the Outdoor Gen 3s. Waking up the camera to catch a live view is very quick. Picture quality is excellent. When armed, its motion detection is excellent. I turned on person only motion versus all motion, and the Mini 2 does a great job of ignoring the cars that drive by and focuses on the people only. If you are already invested in the Blink infrastructure, this is a great addition. If this is your first foray into a Blink system, it’s a great starter piece. Highly recommended.
