    Purchased it for a baby monitor but the live video only displays for about 30 to 45 seconds before it closes out. If it allowed to watch the live view without recording and no time limit it would be great.

      There is a limit to the continuous live viewing on the Blink cameras. Currently, you are able to view up to 5 minutes at a time in 30 second intervals. After 5 minutes you would have to initiate a new live view session.

    I ordered the two pack and only one works properly. They are literally 5 feet apart and one camera CONSTANTLY goes offline! I’ve reset it 1000 times, unplugged this, that…reset the router, deleted it, added it back, and it’s basically junk to be honest. Not user error either… as I work in tech support! Spend a few dollars more and buy something else!!

    The most terrible shopping experience ever. It does not allow me to purchase the subscription plan at all!!!! I linked the app to amazon and follow the guidance but it can't find my camera nor allow me to purchase the subscription plan. I chat with amazon subscription team, and the blink support team. Blink asked me to contact amazon subscription team and amazon subscription team asked me to contact Blink. I spent two weeks on communicating back and forward and still did not have any solutions! I don't mind giving money to purchase the service, but they don't even offer me the chance to freaking buy a subscription plan!!!! Without the recording feature, there is no use for it to be a SERCURITY cam. I am too disappointed and tired with this camera! I gave up! Blink, you won!

    Biggest complaint is after 30 days they want payment to use wi-fi which renders it pretty useless. Had to purchase module to utilize.

      Hello Jake! Thank you so much for taking the time to provide a review of your Blink Mini. At this time, we do not offer a continuous recording option to keep the costs of the products as affordable as possible for our customers. We do constantly work to improve upon our lineup in software updates and new products through valued feedback just like yours though. Thank you again for your time and I do hope you have a terrific day! AmazonDevices

    Blink cameras are kind of slow specially when using an Alexa echo show display and there about 5-10 seconds delayed. When using the app on your phone the blink cameras do take a bit to load and display.

    Not a good upgrade from Amazon cloud cam. The app is not stable which makes it diffuse to use this camera. The camera itself is a good quality item though.

    I'm getting used to using this device. I'm not sure it always works when it should. I'm not sure if I will be keeping the video portion activated or not when my free month ends.

    The camera works fine. The Blink system is not what i was expecting. You get a short clip when there is movement. Just wanted something that would give me more than a short clip.

    Get a pan and tilt cam. More bang for your buck.

    I actually returned this as I found another option that was 2k and had a tracking feature without a monthly subscription for video storage for less money.
