Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the camera quality, ease of use, and affordable price of the Mini - Compact indoor plug-in smart security camera. Many appreciate its small size, motion detection, and night vision capabilities, making it a good security option. However, some users have reported issues with connectivity, battery life, and the live view option. Additionally, the subscription requirement has been a concern for some customers.

    Don't buy these since they need to always be wired and aren't good quality.

    The mini cameras were ok to set up. It's Best Buys rewards program that sucks. I've gotten a few rewards points and don' appreciate the expiration date on the certificates. And i don't know if it is policy that you change the rules everyday but one everything sucks. You have to use the total amount or not at all. One day you van donate money to the charity to make the rewards amount. Next day you can't. Both times i walked out of Best But with a headache. i need a new TV but will buy at BJ's. They have a tech squad also. TV's cost less. Sorry but i hate when you change your reward's policy every time i go there. Expiration dates add to the headaches. Shove your points

    Nothing but issues. I have super fast home internet. These are a 1080p resolution. maybe 480p at best. The video was grainy and choppy. The cameras had constant disconnects. Replacements were the same. Mileage may vary for others. I would not recommend for in home video security

    Avoid Amazon/Blink cameras at all costs! -

    I own about 10 of these cameras. All of them stopped arming the motion detection shortly after being purchased, and now they must be manually woken up every day to enable the motion detection. This is quite frustrating to have to do to roughly 10 cameras every morning. If I do not manually wake up each camera every day, the motion detection does not work. There are endless amounts of people on the Amazon forums that have the same problems, and still are complaining about Amazon/Blinks refusal to honor their product warranty. I have tried for the past 2 years to get Amazon/Blink to honor their product warranty, but Amazon/Blink still refuses to honor their product warranty. I don't know a single person that has these cameras that Amazon/Blink has honor their product warranty for.

    It was okay. I bought this to check on my pets when I’m not home. When I look at the camera on my phone, it is kinda blurry (but I can still tell where my pets were and what they were doing).

    Alexa recognizes the cameras. Alexa app says they are not compatible and i must use blink app. Blink app tells me I have a free 60 day trial after that none on the features will work unless I pay for them. I can see these going in the trash and installing a real security camera system, these are nothing but toys

    These are a good addition to our system. The video quality is good. My biggest issue is that you can`t extend the recoed time longer.

      Hello HonestReviewer! I am so sorry to hear about the trouble you are having trying to set up your Blink Mini cameras. We do try to make the instructions as intuitive as possible but sometimes roadblocks can still arise during the setup. I would recommend contacting Blink Customer Support through the smartphone app's Help Menu. There is an option to chat online or contact via phone. Hopefully this helps provide you with the assistance you need to get your cameras set up and remove the obstacles you are experiencing. Thank you so much for your time and feedback and I hope you have a terrific day! AmazonDevices

    Not actually wireless. You have to connect them with the cable to get them to work. They record fine, but make a clicking sound every single time which is kind of annoying.
