Good security camera for a fair price. The camera was easy to set up attach to a tripod base and it works well. It interfaces well with the hub. Works as advertised.

Best Price vs Quality WiFi Cam on the Market

Very Nice camera for the price. Essentially does everything most people are looking for in an indoors only WiFi camera. I’m personally looking/working toward a DVR/NVR wired camera system. I’ve just had too many issues involving a wide array of WiFi cams. Having said that, this is still probably one of the best price vs quality cams on the market!

It's great how cheap and small this security camera is but isn't very useful unless you pay for the subscription. If Amazon wants to buy all these companies and then charge a subscription they should at least offer an all in one subscription for Ring, Eero, Blink, etc...

Blink-Mini the right camera for the right price

The Blink-mini is a very good indoor camera. The best part about it is that it has its own local storage. No cloud fees, no one has access to the camera clips on a cloud server. The night vision is excellent as well. I have had several security cameras and this one is the most cost friendly option that is has good quality video

I have to say I love this little camera and the quality is great for the price it is, didn't expect much and it kind of surprised me. Previously I had an IP cam in my house and it was a giant pain to get it to work or see it once I was off my network, now I can view this the same way I can with my Rings, it even has night vision and two way talk.

Excellent little camera. I got this blink mini for $5 with my echo. This was a special buy. Connecting the blink mini to my WiFi was easy peasy! You will need to download the blink app. And there are no fees! Camera quality is great. This was a good find. I would have never thought to buy a blink mini. This security camera is AWESOME!

Easy to setup and link with app. Video and audio performance is adequate. I haven't tried any other cams so I can't offer a comparative opinion on low light performance.
This cam does not have a battery so you do need to have it wired for power or from an external power bank possibly.

I bought two of these and set them up about a month ago. The picture quality is great and they respond almost immediately to motion. They are suppose to be for inside only, but I have one set in my window monitoring my driveway, and it works great, even through the screen. I give four stars due to the cameras inability to zoom, otherwise great cameras.

I bought the Blink Mini over the holiday when the Blink cameras were on special. I added this one to my blink system to watch the dogs while we are out. It was as easy as all the other Blink equipment to set up, it's very small, and even has a software setting to mount it upside down if needed.

Camera itself is great. Simple, easy to use and solid for its size. Cord is long enough.
The app, however is another story. Not that intuitive or user-friendly. I have ring cameras, so not having them all in one place was an issue, but if you have it all in one app, it’s probably good.

Very clear pictures. Camera and flood lamp picks up any motion in front of our house. We also are pleased with the cameras we hung in our back yard.

Easy to use with good video quality. However, if you want to buy it for live view purchases, don’t. A small window will pop up every couple minutes to ask you if you want to keep watching, and you have to press “ok”, which is annoying. Moreover, it doesn’t support continuous recording.

Works good for my needs. Just using to check on my dogs. Only negative thoughts are the video only runs for about a minute so if I'm monitoring the dogs I have to keep restarting. But for everything else its nice and only $25 buck can't beat that also like that I can talk to the dogs and it saves the videos which is nice

Bought this to go along with another security camera I have. I use it to watch a section outside that my other camera doesn't cover. It was simple to install and simple to set up on my phone, took minutes. The picture quality is amazing for such a small camera, and you have the option to save or delete the footage. The only issue I have is with night recording, I have it on the inside of a window so when it records at night the blue light reflects off the window and you can't see what it's recorded. I have to check to see if there's a way to turn off the blue light. It's also great to use indoor to keep an eye on the dogs. You can listen to your recordings, and what's great you can talk through the camera, so I can talk to the dogs when they're into something they're not supposed to be into. Would definetely recommend.

Extremely good quality for this price range. I have another camera that was over 200 which is exactly the same as this one. Blink is a very good brand according to my purchase! I think it is very simple to use. Nice quality as well, sound is good and quality is nice too. I recommend this product for sure!
