    Very easy to install and link to other cameras. We love how we can schedule the viewing time for our camera. Visibility at night for viewing is good. The size of the mini is good too.

    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.

    My whole house is set up with a blink security system at the moment. My main gripes with the blink system stem around two aspects. Gripe #1. You can't buy a dedicated wireless indoor chime for your doorbell. Aside from using your phone as a chime, the other alternative is buying a mini indoor camera and using that device as an indoor chime. Really doesn't make sense to me. Gripe #2. You cannot locally host your own recorded clips and photos to be viewed in the app. You must subscribe to blink's service. Once a single device's free subscription ends, you cannot see recorded clips from the Blink app until you subscribe. Aside from those things, the reason that the devices are so affordable is because you are expected to sign up for the blink subscription. Overall, these are still great home security devices given their price.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Ok… app is so primitive many settings would affect all connected cameras together, you have to click on each camera to view, you cant view 2 cameras at the same time, also by design it cannot record to sync module if live view is open. So it won’t store to device if you have the app open on view.

      Posted .

      Hello Koka! Thank you for your feedback on the Blink Mini. I'm sorry to hear you're frustrated with the app's limitations regarding camera management and live view recording. The Blink app is designed with a camera-by-camera interface, which means you need to select individual cameras to view them rather than displaying multiple feeds simultaneously. This design prioritizes battery conservation and bandwidth management across the Blink ecosystem. Regarding the recording limitation during live view, this is an intentional feature—when you're actively viewing a camera's live feed, the device prioritizes streaming that real-time video to your phone rather than simultaneously recording to the Sync Module, as doing both would create significant bandwidth and processing demands. To maximize your recording capabilities, consider setting up motion detection zones and schedules so cameras automatically record when motion is detected while you're not actively viewing, ensuring important events are captured and stored to your Sync Module. You can also enable motion detection alerts so you're notified of activity without needing to keep live view open constantly. For viewing multiple cameras, you can quickly switch between camera feeds by tapping the camera thumbnails on the home screen, though simultaneous multi-camera viewing is not currently supported in the Blink app. I hope this information helps clarify the app's functionality and provides strategies to better capture the footage you need.
