Blink Mini watches the sump pump

We wanted a simple security camera to keep an eye on our sump pump and the Blink Mini did the trick. It was easier than expected to set up on my cell phone and I’m technologically challenged! I can open the app on my phone at any time, see the crock, hear the water drain in, hear the pump kick on and watch the water drain. The volume is good and the feed is in black and white but that’s fine for this. Problem solved, no more running up and down stairs to check that the pump is working and peace of mind when we’re away.
It comes with 30 days of free cloud storage but we don’t need that so I’ll cancel before we start being charged.
This is a wired model, not wireless. We mounted it to a wood shelf so it was secure over the crock and so the 6-1/2 foot cord would reach a plug. We had to turn the camera sideways though to accommodate the cord attached at the shelf but we can still tell what we’re looking at.
Inexpensive solution for us to avoid a basement flood.

I bought 2 of these to use in my reptile tanks. These cameras are great to see what my reptiles are doing throughout the day. I have them connected to a power strip that has USB outlets and they have the capability of working upside down so you just flip the camera view in the app. It also works at night. If you get the subscription you have it save 30 second clips when it detects motion.

Very easy to plug in and use with the downloaded app. It serves my purpose - alerting me when my pet eats! Blink with record a short video when it is motion activated. You can also see the area live and it has a feature where you can talk to the subject. You can hear them video the live feature too. You can save the videos if desired. You have the option to arm or disarm the device.

I like the video quality, and it's very easy to set up and use. I got a great deal as part of a bundled offer, and I'm glad I did. It could only be improved if it offered the ability to zoom in on video that's been recorded. Nice to zoom in and get a clear look at faces captured. And, though it's Amazon Alexa compatible, you have to have separate apps to control it for any brands that aren't the same. It does allow you to schedule various actions, like automatic turns ons and offs at specific times or days.

I own 3 of these now. The first one works so well I bought 2 more. Very easy to set up. The bottom detections works flawlessly. The saved video is very good quality. Set it up and forget about it. One of my dogs has agoraphobia so this is a great way to keep an eye on her when I have to leave her alone.

Good video quality. Motion adjustments are easy to use.
I use one mini cam on my oil tank. I never have to go in the basement again to look. Plus I can see how much is delivered. I have a smart plug to turn the light on when needed and shut off when I’m done viewing my gauge. I set my calendar to remind me to look every 3 weeks even though I look every week.
My mini cams are connected to my hub with other blink cameras. This is connected to the gun, I don’t know if it can be used without a hub.
NO CONTINUOUS RECORDING! Not Key or MyQ compatible

The day quality and night vision of this camera is really good but it's motion detection only. I recently purchased a MyQ garage hub and wanted to implement a camera but this won't connect with the Amazon key app or the MyQ app. It's a solid motion detection camera but not for someone looking for continuous recording. There is no SD slot so you can only watch live views or capture motions kinda like a ring doorbell. I'm only using it for my garage but I'm kinda disappointed it can't be used with Amazon Key since it's an Amazon product and they discontinued the Amazon cloud cam. Overall it's an average camera with average features. If I knew it didn't work for Amazon Key or MyQ I woulda just bought a continuous recording camera for cheaper off Amazon.

I was hesitant to buy this at first but after asking frieds, I went ahead and purchased last black Friday sale. It's worth the price and is easy to install. I set it up in my living room and covers wider area. The video quality is good. I also tried the trial cloud subscription.

The product works very well at home. The image quality is clear, 1080P, and it has a microphone to talk. I use them to keep an eye on my kids while they are at work, appointments, shopping, at midnight, etc. There great because I caught them going to the kitchen late at night while everyone was trying to sleep. Safety is always our first priority as parents. Price is very good, but only concern you need a membership after a few months or you will loose privileges

I’ve had this camera for 1 month and it has been great! I like the portability and the video quality is excellent; very sharp clear color video. For the price it’s a great buy!

I got this as part of a deal with the purchase of an Amazon Echo Show 8. It was easy to set up but I find it very easy to move, like a little bump on the table knocks it off. I love the fact that I can hear commotion in that room, go to the app, click on the camera and see what’s going on.

Love the size, great picture and audio is clear. I purchase this an additional camera.
Not an easy setup if you have a dual band without 2 ghz setup for wifi, but Blink Customer service walk me through.
This is a stationary camera,it does not rotate for viewing like the dome cameras.
However it's does what is suppose to, works great with Alexa and Echo Show.

There have been stalkers in me and girl's life. We live in a time and place where to people can be difficult. We have fun with these too they aren't just for security. We talk to each while at work if one of us is home and watch our dogs play. A very reliable and easy to set up camera system. This one is in our living room. Definitely check these out!

My son is special needs and we’ve had a lot of home health workers coming in and out. It’s very useful to make sure that your family is getting the treatment they deserve and also to make sure no one steals. The picture is great quality and you can hear very good unless the tv or music is turned on. I definitely recommend for anyone that has strangers coming in your home.

I love this thing. It helps me keep an eye on my dog while I'm not home. The set up process was simple. The intercom feature is a pretty neat and the cam quality is solid for the price.

I got this at a lower price when I bought an echo show 5 for my sister. It was easy to set up using the QR code, plug in, install Blink app and scan code. It has a good view and I can see the room in the night.
