I’m really happy with my Blink indoor security camera! The video quality is clear, both during the day and night, providing peace of mind with its reliable motion detection. The setup was quick and easy, and I love that it integrates seamlessly with my phone, allowing me to monitor my home from anywhere. Its compact size fits discreetly in any room, yet it offers wide coverage. Overall, it’s a great, affordable security solution that I trust to keep my home safe.

I have to say these cameras have lived up to my expectations in both size and quality. I enjoy that I get a great picture every time no matter the lighting condition. The app is very simple to use. My only complain is the cameras cannot be left on if you want to stream longer than a couple min. After a min it asks you to continue or it turns off and at the 2 min mark it turns off. Switching between cameras can take a moment as the app will tell you a live feed is in progress but it’s not a huge deal. I was looking for something to replace my baby monitor cameras and these work great and were cheaper together than buying just one more camera for my baby monitor.

I was turned onto the Blink Mini via an add-on bundle while purchasing an ECHO Show 5 and another security cam. For the price point, the Blink Mini offers really good video quality during light and with IR night mode. It's very small stature is inconspicuous compared to other larger cameras, but those larger ones also have additional features and better video capture. It is a corded power source and of decent length, but maybe not ideal for ceiling amount..unless you have a plug high up. It's a 2 piece power supply between the plug and the cord (USB A to Micro USB), so if you need longer cord, you could try a USB A extension cable if you wanted to retain the included cable that is formed to the slot of the camera on the micro USB side or you can just get a normal USB A to Micro USB cable if it doesnt matter to you. The app and set up is easy and intuitive to use. Integration with Alexa is just as easy and voice commands work well too.

This is so easy to set up and monitor on your Blink app ! The video and audio are crystal clear. It's small enough to tuck away out of sight but still monitor the space you want recorded. An excellent indoor camera.

I bought this to keep an eye on my pets while I'm at work, and it's the perfect pet cam.
It was really easy to set up, and the video and audio quality are great.

These cameras are perfect cheap cameras that you can see where your animals are and how they are and talk to them while you’re on vacation. Setup is super simple and if you want to bring a camera with you somewhere it’s simple as disconnecting removing the camera and setting it up on another WiFi! Set up is super simple!

They are super simple to set up.. im able to move them anywhere I want, I love that i can arm it and disarm it at any time from the app, you can turn off the light up sensor so if you have pets it won’t startle them when the camera turns on to record, the live feed is amazing in case you don’t want to record 24/7, I totally recommend this!

Bought this 2-pack of Blink Mini Indoor cameras and they’re awesome! Setup was super quick and easy. The video quality is really clear, even at night. I can check on my place anytime from my phone, which is super cool and makes me feel more secure. They're small and don't stick out too much, which I like. Definitely worth it for the peace of mind!

I purchased these cameras originally for the reason of the wired power. I could not risk a battery not lasting over 6 months. We travel. I returned these and bought the wireless 3 camera set because the battery is to last 2 years.
Blink mini cameras use pixel technology, Blink indoor/outdoor cameras use infrared technology.
Blink mini has clearer pics and motion is picked up much sooner than the infrared cameras. You need to decide if you want wired or wireless.
Blink mini has the option for local storage on the Sync 2. That device is not released yet, so you get cloud storage for free until 12/31.
Blink indoor/outdoor comes bundled with the Sync 2 included for local storage. The hook is you are automatically signed up and using the cloud for free until 12/31/2020.
I contacted Blink customer service to find out how the local storage works if I didn't want to pay for cloud storage. They said I needed to use my pc to see the local storage. They did not have answers if I would get notifications pushed to my phone or if any videos were available from the phone. They are supposed to know more in the next month. I am waiting for their response.
You will need to decide if you want to see motion on your phone remotely.
Personally I don't want to get rooked into monthly cloud subscription at $3 a camera.

I recently purchased the Blink Mini Indoor 1080p Wireless Security Camera (2-Pack) in white and have been really impressed with their performance. Setup was incredibly easy, and I was able to get both cameras up and running in just a matter of minutes. The cameras connect to my WiFi network seamlessly, and I appreciate the fact that they are truly wireless, meaning I can place them anywhere without worrying about unsightly cords.
The video quality is excellent, with a clear and crisp 1080p resolution. The wide-angle lens allows me to see a large portion of the room, and the night vision feature works great in low-light conditions. I also appreciate the motion detection feature, which sends alerts to my phone when movement is detected, and I can view live video or recorded clips through the Blink app.
One thing to note is that the cameras do require a Blink subscription in order to access certain features such as cloud storage and continuous recording. However, I found the subscription plans to be reasonable and worth the added peace of mind.
Overall, I highly recommend the Blink Mini Indoor 1080p Wireless Security Camera (2-Pack) to anyone looking for an affordable and reliable home security solution.
