Although this is a decent camera for the price, it needs some tweaks. For one, the placement of the camera has to be set just right to not get a halo effect when in night vision mode. The alert time for all blink cameras is unacceptable. When it detects motion it has to wake up, record the event, send it to the cloud, and when that's done it will send you an alert. So most videos are of the back of someone leaving. Or nothing at all. This was referring to the new outdoor camera. The mini is better because it doesn't have to wake up as it's wired. All in all, it has potential and the price I paid on sale was good, but like I said, it needs some tweaks from Blink.

So far so good, easy to install and works well.
I am happy with it but I prefer a camera that stays on, the blink times out and I forgot to read that portion when I purchased.

I am enjoying my Mini Blink cameras. I can check if the mailman picked up my packages on my porch or just check on my dog. I was able to do it all by myself which means you can too!
I would recommend this to a friend

The camera was easy to set up and use. There is a little delay between someone walking in front of the camera and when i get notified. It could be the WiFi in my area though. Great video quality.

Hello, GladysD. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on the Blink Mini. The Blink Mini does offer valuable features without requiring a subscription, including live view streaming, two-way audio, motion detection alerts, and the ability to store clips locally when connected to a Sync Module 2 with a USB drive or Sync Module XR with an SD card (sold separately). These local storage options allow you to save and access recorded clips without any monthly fees. While the optional Blink Subscription Plan does provide additional features like cloud storage, extended video history, and advanced features, the basic functionality can meet many needs. If you're experiencing specific quality issues with your camera's video or audio performance, here are some troubleshooting steps: ensure your device has a strong Wi-Fi connection, check that you have adequate lighting in the camera's viewing area, clean the camera lens, and restart the camera by unplugging it for 10 seconds. If you continue to have concerns about the device or would like more information about your Blink Mini, Blink Customer Support is available to assist you at 1-833-392-5465. I hope this information helps you get the most value from your Blink Mini. Thank you for sharing your experience!
