I have 5 blink minis and they are fantastic! Great picture & video. Alerts quickly when armed and allows for a quick response. My home is safe and secure. Highly recommended!

I got this for $5 when I bought an Echo Show and for that price it is fine. It connected to the network easily and the picture is fine. I would not use these as primary security cameras, but to keep an eye on a room of your house it is fine.

Great addition to home security system.
Very easy to install and operate, seem less installation of app in iOS.
Very sensitive to voices, pick sounds even from other rooms.
I use it to monitor outside from inside the home, and it is convenient to check front surroundings in case of any event.

We bought these cameras so we can keep an eye on a family member that has dementia. My husband has installed 3 of them. It is easy to set up and easy to view on IPhone.

Camera is easy to use and installation only takes a few minutes. The app is very easy to navigate.
The mini is able to sync with the module that i had from the outdoor camera system. However, the video is a bit blurry even though it is 1080 quality. Overall, its not bad.

This is the best $20 you will ever spend on an electronic. Simple setup. The picture quality if amazing, no matter the price. The talk function, if you want to mess with your dog is a bonus feature in such a compact unit.
I have three and will probably get more.

I bought the alexa show and blink cameras as a gift to my parents. a way we can drop in and check on each other while we are away due to covid. The quality is great! However, live sessions ends abruptly and quickly. Wish it would last longer. other than that, no complaints!

It's a very nice camera with Alexa support and a nice app, but I ended up returning it because I didn't want wired cameras. I went for a battery powered version from a main competitor instead. It's a good and affordable option if you don't mind a wire, though. It's small and can hide away easily.

About what you’d expect

Picture and sound quality is about what you’d expect from something in this price range. If it catching the light wrong it casts a half circle across the picture. Also goes in & out of night vision mode a lot, almost like it has trouble registering the lighting level in the shot.

I had two little kittens that I would worry about while I was away from home, I needed a little camera to place in their room to keep an eye on them while I was gone during the day this worked perfectly! Super easy smooth set up.

Easy to setup with the sync module 2. Doesn't like the app because it doesn't show live view right away. There was a lagging of about 5 seconds. I use it for the indoor storage so it seems to work out ok.

For the price and ease, I’d but it again.
Being indoors and having control of the ambient settings, I’d recommend this for the cost / value of security it provides.
It’s not perfect. Distance details are lacking but enough to know what you’re looking at while away to dinner or on vacation.

I am invested in the Arlo ecosystem. I have 5 total cameras, solar charging, and the cloud subscription plan. This is my only indoor camera that I use to monitor a nocturnal hamster. Seems to work good.
