    I wasn't expecting a lot for $35, so when I bought this, I kind of expected something cheap and low quality, but hold on... this is a stand-alone security cam that captures video and displays it on your phone or on an Echo Show! I would've expected to pay a couple hundred dollars for something like this! I read the review about the poor video quality. I didn't experience that. I think the video quality is fine. I think that reviewer's cam must be faulty. The cam adjusts for indoor nighttime video capturing as well. This is probably the single best purchase I've made for under $100 this year. I will certainly buy more to use around my home.

    Overall I'd say that these are a notch below the other Blink cameras, which is to be expected since they're so much cheaper. I paid about $15 during a Best Buy sale for mine. Good: Price, decent video quality, microphone Not so Good: Wi-Fi appears to be weaker, requires external power I tried this in my garage, but it kept giving me Wi-Fi connection errors. Regular blink camera worked fine. So I moved this into my basement where it's closer to the Blink Wi-Fi node, and it's been working like a champ. So buy this as extra cameras to place near your Blink module and you'll be satisfied.

    I really like this product, my only drawback is the fact that you have to have an additional app even though the product is manufactured by Amazon. I find this to be the case with a lot of different Alexa accessories having their own app that then connects to the Alexa app. The app blink app works great and connects easily and then you can easily connect it to your Alexa skills. The camera is clear and has zoom and pan capabilities in a digital format. Being able to listen and talk through the camera is an added bonus at this price point. I will buy more of these because they fit my need and work well.

    Wow. Seriously didn't expect so much quality from a tiny little square. Works very well. Tried it for $5 and got way more than my money's worth. This little guy has a speaker and a mic. I talk to my dog when I'm away. Still can't get the cat to stop scratching the dining chair with it. But, I couldn't do that when I'm physically there without a water bottle/sprayer. If they start making these things with a sprayer, I'm totally in. Well, I'm already in. I arm and disarm it with Alexa. I haven't tried any more than that, but, when I get a chance, I'll get to know Alexa more, and do more things with this.

    Blink mini cameras are the best Wi-Fi cameras I have ever used. I researched before I purchased & these filled the bill of what I was looking for in a wi-fi camera. Cameras are compact, efficient, & so straightforward that I could not have been happier. Set up was a breeze, they were working within moments. Toughest part was entering my wi-fi password!!! Done & so delighted!

    Received this camera as it was a $5 add-on to another purchase. Blink is an Amazon company, so I already have my reservations about how their values align with my own--especially in regard to their relationship with law enforcement. This issue will be unique to you, though (if you see it as an issue at all.) The camera itself seems like it is of good build quality, but I can't vouch for how it would hold up outdoors. The included power cable is reasonably long. The setup is simple enough using the mobile app. I like that the QR code on the bottom of the camera makes the process relatively painless. It can automatically switch to the IR night mode, which is a nice feature, but the IR does not work well through windows, so if you wanted to keep an eye on your backyard with a night vision camera, you'll have to find one that you can mount outside. With my limited knowledge on the matter, I suspect that any IR camera would struggle to work through windows & that this is not an issue unique to this specific camera. I like that you can disable the LED light on the camera. I do not like that you cannot view this camera's feed or interact with it in any way on your computer. Too many smart home products are dependent on smartphones. I wish they were also compatible with computers. (I suppose mobile app emulation on desktop computers could be a clunky workaround for this, but that's a topic for another day.) It is a plus to me that you can use this Amazon owned product without an Amazon account, though I do not enjoy that it requires you to create a Blink account, even if you do not plan to sign up for the subscription. Speaking of the subscription, this camera's features--or, rather, the Blink app's features--are largely limited to free, non-subscribing users. You cannot record clips, & you cannot save pictures. Amazon has also blocked the ability to screenshot or screen record in the app to bypass this limitation. This means that without paying for the Blink subscription (which at the time of writing this review is $30/year for 1 camera or $100/year for unlimited cameras) this camera is only good for viewing a live feed that you can then do nothing with. The features to free users of this camera are: motion detection notifications, day & night mode cameras, live feed, & two-way audio. If you do not want to pay a subscription for basic home monitoring security, there are better options that probably also have a better privacy policy than Amazon. Though those cameras will be more expensive upfront, I think you'll be more satisfied in the long run. Consider this: if you were using this product without paying for the Blink subscription & someone actually broke into your home, you would not be able to save a clip or even screenshot of their face. All you would functionally be able to do is watch them steal your stuff & then yell at them through the camera's two-way audio system (assuming the thief does not have their airpods in). This problem makes this camera a non-starter for me for any use case other than having a relatively cheap way to check in on my pet while I'm away from home. I would not buy this camera in the future for any price, & considering how hostile Blink/Amazon is to free users (disabling screenshots within the app is gross), I would not buy any Blink products in the future, even if I was planning on paying for the subscription. 2/5 stars for being a functioning camera with good build quality & IR night vision at a very cheap price. -3 stars for everything else.

    I have had the Blink outdoor 5 camera system for a while, just added the door bell and this camera for inside the garage. I like it to get notifications if a delivery comes to our garage when open, also to make sure the garage door is shut when not at home. For it's small size works great and easy setup
