    Price is fine, but I wouldn't recommend it. Without subscription it's quite worthless, and you have to pay for every extra device that you use it. Also it doesn't always work. It skipped more than once movements.

    This purchase was a suggestion of an employee. At first is seemed to be a good purchase. But after a few days it stopped catching motion. Then I found out I had to have a monthly subscription. This may be a perfect product for someone, but it is not for me.

      Hello LivingroomTV,

      Thank you for your candid feedback about the Blink Mini camera. We apologize that the subscription requirement wasn't clearly communicated during your purchase experience.

      You're correct - while the Blink Mini comes with some basic features out of the box, certain advanced functions like cloud storage and extended motion detection features require a Blink subscription plan. We understand this wasn't the right fit for your needs.

      We're sharing your feedback with our retail training team to ensure future customers receive complete information about subscription requirements before purchase.

      Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback helps us improve our customer service. AmazonDevices

    My first Blink cameras I have 5 are awesome. They record to my phone and as i review i can delete them. I added these 2 and Blink will not allow these 2 mini indoor wired to record to my phone. Yet the other 5 will. Blink wants to charge me a subscription. So No I don't recomend I am going to check on bringing these back.

    I bought this camera because it had a small amount of free storage...no, not a trial but advertised free storage. I bought a few of these cameras over others because of that feature. over a year later, amazon forced everyone into a storage plan. based on my purchase date, I did not buy a storage plan...Amazon deleted the last 15 second clip of my now deceased cat. I am concerned about buying the Sync Module for local storage believing the same thing will happen again in a year...

    I purchased this one and the TP-LINK. The TP-link is better. I actually submitted a mediocre review for the t-link on accident thinking it was the blink. They are very similar as far as size and video quality. The app for the blink is worse than the tp-link. The problem with blink I’d have to say is mostly the app and the problem with adding different cameras. Like adding the wired after you add wireless cameras there is come kind of connection issues with the wired one, but not the wireless. They all work, I have arlo, canary, blink, d-link and tp-link. They all have goods and bads.

    It works OK, Got it for $5.00 with another purchase. Works OK with the app. But it would be another app to pay for for storage to the cloud. Already have 2 other apps and alarm.Would be good for a different system.

    It’s okay, if you have more money to spend do that. It needs a subscription and if you hate multiple you pay per device and it’s slow to notify

    Worst Cameras out there! Do not purchase, spend a little more and get decent ones. When using the button to talk thru the app is horrible and you can't even understand what is trying to be said. The app constantly crashes and audio goes in and out, if you zoom in then it crashes. I've tried uninstalling the app then reinstalling it, unplugging them, re doing the wifi connections and nothing helps so I've thrown them away now. Also I have a Galaxy S21+ phone so its not like my phone can't handle it, same for my wife on her Iphone

    I called and got very poor responses - unplug this move that and I did my speed test ping 10 upload 12 download 112 - the camera would time out and turn off every 15 sec and never connect to anything - said he would call back and kept hanging up on me. I gave up and I am returning them. I have a degree in computer software and my tech friend could not get it to run on his Iphone so they are going back. I was disappointed as I specifically asked if I could link to laptop and was told yes - that cannot be done. The support guy suggested I go buy a rablet. There is an issue with the camera syncing program -when we tried 3 phones on wifi!

    Meh. That sums up these cameras. If you’ve used nest, or any other modern cameras, you’ll be disappointed by the low quality of the video, app, notifications, etc.

    It works but you have to pay monthly free after a month. I wish I could return it. It is a waste of money. Other brand allow you to record and see video for 48 hours. Do not buy

    Makes a loud shutter sound when switches to low light mode. Not great when trying to use as a secret camera. Does not have great video quality in low light. But for the price point you get what you pay for.
