    camera was easy to set up; wanted a little more versatility for outside view; should have gone with a solar outside version and not listen so much to the salesman

      Hello BarbaraC. Thank you so much for your time and review of your Blink Mini cameras. I am unsure as to why this product was recommended for you if you were looking for an outdoor camera as these are strictly meant to be used for indoor use. There is a next generation model (Blink Mini 2) that can be used both indoors and outdoors but requires the outdoor power adapter that is sold separately. There are also other options in our lineup that allow for outdoor use. This is our only model in the Blink lineup that is strictly indoor. I would advise contacting the store you purchased it from to see what options are available to correct this. Thank you again for your time and review and I hope you have an amazing day!

      Hello, MiaC. Thank you for your feedback on the Blink Mini. I'm glad to hear you find the camera to be good quality! I understand the concern about the subscription. It's worth noting that even without a Blink Subscription Plan, you can still use features like live view and two-way audio, as well as receive motion detection alerts directly on your phone. For video storage without a subscription, you also have the option of using a Blink Sync Module 2 with a USB flash drive or a Sync Module XR with an SD card (sold separately) to save and view clips locally. If you'd like more information about the features available with and without a subscription, or have any other questions, Blink Customer Support is available at 1-833-392-5465. I hope this information is helpful — thank you! AmazonDevices

    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.

    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 was a bit skeptical before buying this camera but I was surprised it works so well. It has a motion detector and would automatically activate and record when it detects a motion. The videos are clear and sound is good. The only complaint is Blink will start charging a subscription from January 2020 for storing the videos to their servers.

    Bought for video review of my dad's room in nursing home to oversee frequency and quality of care when we were not present. Convenient and very portable but images are not very clear and unit loses connection frequently

      Hello DawnnaS! Thank you for your feedback on the Blink Mini. I'm sorry to hear about the connectivity and image quality issues you've experienced while monitoring your dad's care at the nursing home. To improve image clarity, ensure the camera lens is clean and positioned with adequate lighting in the room, as the 1080p resolution performs best in well-lit conditions. For the frequent connection drops, try moving your Wi-Fi router closer to the camera or using a Wi-Fi extender to strengthen the signal, ensure your home network has a strong and stable internet connection, restart the camera by unplugging it for 30 seconds then plugging it back in, and check that your Blink app is updated to the latest version. You can also try power cycling your router and ensuring the camera's firmware is up to date through the Blink app settings. While the Blink Mini is a convenient and portable solution for your monitoring needs, these steps should help improve both the image quality and connection stability. Thank you for your feedback!

    I purchased this camera for the side door in my home and I'm surprised how good it is. The set up was easy and the quality is great. I get screen shot alerts to my phone when I not home and somebody enters from for the side. I'm going to buy a few more for the house because it's excellent and I got it on sale.

    For some reason I like these little cameras better than the ring. The quality of the picture are better, it is small. You have the option of nailing them down or just sitting it on top of a platform. The only thing i dont like is the glitching and how long it takes in between the cameras to come on.

    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 quality is great, super simple and easy to setup, you can link it to your amazon echo, so while your playing video games and waiting for a pizza, I can get an alert on my Echo from blink that there is movement in the driveway :D

    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.
