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.

    I installed it, worked great. 2 weeks later I changed my wifi network to a mesh router, so the network changed. It will not recognize the new network. I deleted the old profile from my phone, but it still wont tie to the new network. Total waste of time.

    I was never told about a monthly subscription when I purchased these cameras, NOT by Best Buy, NOT by BLINK! I was told you can view your camera clips with the Blink App, NO SUBSCRIPTION. THEY LIED! BLINK/AMAZON IS UNETHICAL AND DISHONEST.

    Why does it click so loudly?

    Makes an audible click and red light turns on when you go to look at the camera. This makes it creepy, disturbing and useless for watching my kids. No idea why they would ever do that.

    Didn't pick up on motion like the Ring camera does. It would periodically pick up motion but missed a lot of motion that crossed in front of the camera.
