Customer Ratings & Reviews

It was very easy to set up and it works as advertised.

Great camera I highly recommend this product. It’s clever and works great especially with good wifi

It saves me from worrying about what goes on outside my house when I'm away.

I like that it has a decent light and also a suren. Good upgrade from gen 1

Resolution fine 2ik+ inice to see the detailss ………………………..

works great to keep an eye on my cats while I am away.

The camera was alright, pretty good for something basic but I was looking for 24/7 recording and a good angle and this camera did not do the job for me. But for anyone looking for a basic camera to just keep an eye on things, this will work great for its price :)

stopped working after 2 weeks, it just stopped working, i bought it bc i have a karen neighbor who threaten me and my sons room is on that side where shes located (he's a minor) so i placed this cam by his window since he was complaining about her watching him, the camera worked just fine until it didn't i caught her doing ridiculous disturbing things. covered the light but yeah, it just stopped working i have no idea why, got a replacement but i didn't need it anymore, I had installed cameras by then, works fine for a temporary solution after 2 weeks it will stop working and the previous footage i couldn't obtain it

I have the old one, the one that proceeded this one. It’s not a 2K it’s 1080. I set this up inside and point it out the window. On a bright sunny day, the pictures were so dark. It looked like dusk of cloudy day. The old one, the pictures are much brighter. Normal. So I returned them. I was ready to buy into these and get the module, but when I saw how this performed, I thought no. So the reviews are very good for this but for me it just didn’t do the job and when it’s so dark like that, I can’t see faces or make out cars very well. The other camera the old camera worked much better. I will say that the videos were crisper but the darkness ruined it

I ordered these to supplement my wireless cameras but these continually seem to go offline so are basically useless. Have had no issues with the wireless cameras just these wired ones. Not easy to try and get back online and a day or two later go back offline so very unreliable. Wish I could return them.

Too easy for INTRUDERS to override Wi-Fi services from stored Wi-Fi internet network linkage to another Wi-Fi internet network. I'm caught on camera BUT INTRUDERS are NOT. Proof / Fact / Truth.

Great product but it doesn’t worth the rice paid for it

Returned it, didn’t like the video quality and it’s hard to place in a spot where you can get a good view.

I'm using the Blink Mini 2K+ to keep an eye on my two-car garage…cars, tools, and the general “don’t-touch-my-stuff” perimeter. For a small plug-in camera, it punches above its weight, especially for the price. What It Does Well • Sharp 2K image quality. The resolution jump from the older 1080p cams is real. I can clearly see both cars, movement around them, and even small details like labels on toolboxes if the lighting is decent. • Wide field of view. With its wide-angle lens, one camera covers a surprising amount of space. Mounted high the ceiling near my wifes car I can see the whole garage. • Solid low-light performance. In a garage where lighting isn’t always perfect, the camera does a respectable job. Once everything is dark, IR takes over, not perfect, but absolutely usable. • Easy setup. Plug it in, connect it, done. No batteries, no drama. • Motion alerts that make sense. Once I customized the zones, it stopped alerting me every time a dust particle drifted through the frame. It only notifies me when something meaningful happens. Where It Falls Short • Subscription creep. You’ll quickly find that many of the “smart” features and expanded storage options live behind a monthly fee. Live view still works without paying, but anything advanced starts costing money which is the case with the Blink Camera system. Im paying $11.99 a month for the Blink Plus Plan. • Lighting still matters. In the darker corners of the garage behind shelving, detail drops quickly. It’s not a miracle worker. • Not the most premium audio. The two-way audio works, but the speaker sounds like someone whispering into a tin cup. Functional, but not impressive. • No pan/tilt. What you point it at is what you get. You need to mount it strategically if you want full coverage. Real-World Performance in My Garage • Daytime: Excellent clarity. Cars, movement, tools, everything looks crisp. • Night: Good, not great. With some ambient light, it keeps color. Total darkness triggers IR, which still shows what’s happening but loses detail. Verdict For a budget-friendly indoor camera, the Blink Mini 2K+ is legitimately impressive. It won’t replace a high-end security cam, but as a solid, reliable pair of eyes in a garage, it absolutely does the job. If you’re monitoring cars, gear, or the general comings and goings, it’s a strong choice…just expect to pay a subscription if you want all the bells and whistles.

This is my first Blink camera of any model. Let me start by saying that its small size is quite impressive. I’ve been wanting a camera to better monitor activity in and around my garage, and I felt this Blink camera would fit the bill. My research indicates that the Blink line of cameras are integrated with the Alexa Smart Home tools - which I don’t happen to have at this time. My initial observations are quite good. Setting up the Blink App was super easy. Download the app, establish credentials, plug the Blink camera into a power source and away you go. The picture quality was quite good. In my closed garage during the day with the garage lights off, all the items in my garage appeared as gray’ish in color. Turn on the Blink camera’s light, and all the proper colors of boxes and containers are displayed true to life. Turn off the camera’s light and turned on my internal garage light, and the results were close to identical. I’ve used wi-fi cameras both inside my home and outside for years, and this Blink camera activates the camera live feed about as quickly as cameras costing hundreds more. When you activate the camera feed, some options become selectable. They are: • Camera Light On • Camera Light Off • Live View Saved • Tap to Mute/Unmute • Extended Live View Off • Device Settings • Siren On • Siren Off The Device Settings are fairly comprehensive • General Settings o Blink Camera Name o Change Wi-fi o Network Strength o Delete Device • Motion Settings o Motion Detection o Motion Sensitivity o Motion Zones o Retrigger Time • Video and Photo Settings o Motion Clip Length o Video Quality o End Clip early if motion stops o And more • Audio Settings o Speaker Volume • And more, including Lighting Settings, Privacy Settings, and Help There is also a 30-day free trial that turns on features such as saving copies of videos and photos for up to 60 days, coverage for unlimited cameras and doorbells at all locations, Extended Live View (lets you stream video from your Blink for up to 90 minutes), AI Smart detection, and more. In the end, I found this Blink camera and its advanced offerings to be quite a bargain, one that rivals much more expensive solutions. As such, I’m giving it 5 stars.

I am a huge fan of the Blink security cameras. Their diminutive size makes placing a ton of these things around the property easy, stress free and inexpensive. Camera quality was great when they first hit the market a number of years back, but as 4K security cameras came down in price the Blink cameras felt more and more outdated. There’s always a trade off between working with the power from two double-A batteries with the security requirement to record as much as possible and overall Blink balanced this well. The original hockey puck design continued to be functional, but outdated. This new 2K camera solves the two biggest problems I’ve always had with Blink: the first problem is that they rely on lithium ion batteries that require removing the back plate to replace and the second problem is that the picture quality compared to 4K is terrible. As an added bonus the Mini 2K+ field of view is much wider than the hockey pucks making it a much better viewing experience from my mobile phone. The Mini sits comfortably on the built in stand and offers a wide range of adjustment capability to get the angle you are looking for with your security footage. My primary use case is monitoring an aging senior with dementia who has trouble walking without a walker. It doesn’t help that it’s a two-story home with low ceilings and he has a tendency to wonder off without his walker and fall on a regular basis. The cameras needed to be strategically placed in bedrooms and bathrooms, the two places he’s most prone to falling. I was burning through lithium ion batteries, but loved how simple it is to navigate the blink app. It’s nice to have a camera option now that is hard wired. The most shocking part about this camera is the quality of the color night vision, especially compared with the existing Blink cameras. It’s that quality jump from VHS to UHD Blu-ray, it’s quite stunning. And the audio quality of the two-way microphone has also been dramatically improved. Overall this is just a fantastic upgrade to the Blink camera ecosystem and if you are an existing Blink user you should buy as many of these as you can afford.

As an owner of many Blink cameras, the Blink Mini 2K+ is a great step up from the standard Blink Mini camera, which is already a fantastic smart home surveillance camera! The Blink Mini 2K+ is almost exactly what you would expect from a Blink Mini, just with higher resolution! It features a wide field of view 2.5K (2560 x 1440) resolution video feed with built-in motion detection, two-way audio to both hear and speak through the camera, as well as a built-in viewing light for viewing in dark conditions, night vision mode, and a security siren. It’s important to note that the product description describes that it has “color night vision”, but it actually does not have actual “night vision with color”; it is simply referring to the ability to see dark rooms “in color” using the built-in viewing light. This variant of the Blink camera is required to be plugged into a power source at all times (using the included wall adapter or USB power source), so if you’re looking for a wireless home security camera, the Blink Outdoor may be a better choice! The camera is extremely good at in-home surveillance, checking in on pets, and can also be mounted outdoors with additional accessories. It thrives in long-running live view and motion-detection scenarios, all configurable through the Blink app. The app is extremely intuitive and serves its job well as a hub for coherently controlling all devices in your Blink ecosystem! The app also provides options for storing and saving motion event videos in the cloud, as well as provides other enhanced Blink features with a Blink subscription (purchasing a camera includes a free month trial to the Blink subscription plan).

Home security systems have many features these days, and the new craze on the market is enhanced clarity. I have both the Blink system and Ring systems that compliment my whole house. So When I saw a new blink mini 2K+ i was excited, because resolution is always wanted to see more clearly. While most of the time smaller cameras have the clarity loss a few feet away from the camera. The Compact plug-in security camera from blink offers a 2k resolution, with a 138 degree FOV. this allows a much wider viewing angle of the surrounding areas. It also has color night vision which is really good since mots have had that black and white color profile past few years. It also has the new Ai smart detection features which help distinguish between people and vehicle ( sadly you need the subscription plan to activate that aspect) Testing this out was very simple, took me all of 10 minutes to get its installed and hooked up. I had a powered source in the fascia of roof, so was very ideal for plugging in. ( I did have to order an outdoor plug in adapter which delayed my testing by almost a week thanks to some shipping issues). I went on vacation and was able to check on my system from the middle of the ocean and get real time feedback, and crystal clear images. The two talk function was nice as I was bale to let the fedex man know where I wanted my package left. In all, very compact and durable system, but if you are going to use this outdoors, add the outdoor weather resistant plug adapter ( about $10 but takes over a week to ship) it has for screws to secure that device as well. Overall I'm really happy with this product and would recommend it to anyone look for something that is discrete and not a massive eye sore on your house security exterior.

The Blink - Mini 2K+ Compact plug-in security camera is a good addition to a Blink system if you have one. I use it to monitor my kitchen as I have personal aides in my house to watch my father and like to keep tabs on them. The camera is very easy to add to the Blink system and set up. The fact that it plugs into a USB port and does not require batteries is convenient and the battery powered cameras I have don't give warning, they just stop working when the battery dies. The picture for the camera is very good. It adjusts to low light conditions and has a light that can be turned on and off manually or you can set it to activate when it detects motion. You can set zones where motion won't be detected. Example, you can set a zone at a doorway so people walking by a room wont be detected. You can also set up privacy zones so you can mask certain areas of the photos/videos so they don't appear in the photos/videos. However, I have found these 2 features to be hit or miss. My camera is set up in a way that it looks into a hallway. I set up a no detection zone and a privacy mask at this doorway. The camera will often detect people walking by. Additionally, the mask will sometimes disappear allowing full view. Not great. The detection length can be set from 5 to 60 seconds. The interval between detections (retrigger time) can be set from 10-60 seconds. I find the app works well most of the time as long as the cameras batteries are good and the wifi signal is strong. The Blink system makes it easy to arm/disarm a system. At the bottom of the home screen are buttons for each option. I have had issues with the base station and the cameras reconnecting to the internet after a blackout. This is usually fixed by restarting my router but that can be a problem if you are away from home or using the system to monitor a vacation/rental property. If you have a Blink system and need a stationary, plug in camera, this is a good one to get. I'm hoping the small glitches I've experienced lately will be corrected with future software updates.

The Blink Mini 2k+ security camera is a large improvement over past models. I've been using Blink battery powered cameras for a while and haven't been very impressed...until this new Mini 2k+. The appeal of a battery powered security camera has lost its appeal for me. Between having to pull the cameras down to charge the battery every so often, and not getting the video quality and performance I expect I think it is worth the initial setup to get a plug in camera that requires no maintenance after setup. Enter the Mini 2k+. This camera is quite small and fits just about anywhere. There is hardware included to mount the camera or it can be simply set on an out of the way place if using indoors. It comes with a rather long USB-C power cable, but a still longer cable might be needed depending on your use case. The video quality is excellent, especially the low light quality. I have this camera set up in a home observatory so I can monitor my telescopes at night. The camera easily picks up many stars in the dark night sky and I can easily see what's happening even without night vision enabled. With night vision enabled the image is crisp and clear. In previous models, the Blink app would stop the live view after just a few seconds which was frustrating when I wanted to simply have a live view to monitor what was happening, probably a result of trying to save battery life. But with the Mini 2k+ the live feed stays open as long as I need it to. I have also found the motion detection and recognition to work very well and not give false alerts. I do have one minor complaint. Despite being connected to a fast Wifi system with plenty of band width and speed, the camera is erratic when on the highest video quality setting (6+ Mbps). I've had to move to the middle quality (3Mbps) to get a consistent connection.
