Hi MichaelM, thank you for providing feedback for Blink Mini. I am sorry that the device is not connecting to the router. If you haven't already, please try these troubleshooting steps.
Reboot your Internet router by unplugging it from the power source for about 30 seconds. If your Mini camera is in a system with a Sync Module, reboot the Sync Module: unplug and plug-in the power cable. Connect only to the 2.4 GHz band. Ensure both the Blink app and the device it's installed on have the latest updates. Uninstall the Blink app, powering off the device it's installed on briefly before reinstalling.
If the above basic troubleshooting steps don't prove helpful, please contact Blink Customer Support at 1-833-392-5465. Thank you again, have a great day!

I never got the package as my mail was stolen Best Buy didn't care about me and never gave me a refund. They could have at least given me a code for best. Buy credit to my email I won't. Be buying from Best buy ever again

Don't Like It! The Software Interface is not adequate, and no education either written or verbal is offered. The option for Motion Detection will start the recording to begin, but at the end of the clip - there is not apparent way to continue to watch the action without interruption. The interface is also difficult to understand and enter the program settings options phase. Clarity is OK but there is no option to Zoom while watching clip - where are the instructions?

Did not know that if you don’t have the blink subscription it will NOT save videos. I have the 2nd generation and they still work fine.

This purchase was a suggestion of an employee. At first is seemed to be a good purchase. But after a few days it stopped catching motion. Then I found out I had to have a monthly subscription. This may be a perfect product for someone, but it is not for me.

Hello LivingroomTV,
Thank you for your candid feedback about the Blink Mini camera. We apologize that the subscription requirement wasn't clearly communicated during your purchase experience.
You're correct - while the Blink Mini comes with some basic features out of the box, certain advanced functions like cloud storage and extended motion detection features require a Blink subscription plan. We understand this wasn't the right fit for your needs.
We're sharing your feedback with our retail training team to ensure future customers receive complete information about subscription requirements before purchase.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback helps us improve our customer service.

It keeps failing to record. And you have to purchase a package to get it to record video.
