    Great cameras for the price

    A lot of security cameras on the market are expensive, so when I found these I was pleasantly surprised. There are two cameras that come with the set. Everything is included in the kit. The cameras, the cords, mounting brackets, and instructions. The only things you need outside of the kit is internet, the phone app, and a storage plan (you get a free cloud storage trial until the end of 2020. After that you can buy an external hard drive for the cameras or a subscription to cloud storage). Setup took a while, but wasn't complicated. My cameras are in the same room as the internet router so they work well there, so I can't speak on how well they do farther away from the internet source. The cameras have a lot of options to customize the settings to your specifications (see picture). You can arm and disarm the cameras and watch the live feed from practically anywhere. You can even set up a schedule for the cameras to detect motion (so you don't have to manually arm and disarm the system). The scheduling option only lets you set it up in 15 minute intervals (so 00:00, 00:15, 00:30, or 00:45. Times like 00:25 are not an option) Overall, I'm very pleased with the cameras and the value of getting two cameras for the price many companies charge for one without sacrificing the quality. The video quality is very good in my opinion, especially for the price. I'm glad this is the product I chose.

    The Blink minis are such an easy setup. They come in white or black. I have two indoor minis and they pick up any movement. Plug into wall socket and set the camera wherever you want. They have mounts and can be installed on a wall or anywhere accessible. Picture quality is 10/10. You can adjust each camera to it's own settings. Auto on/off, zone control and sound control.

    The camera viewing is good. I'm alerted quickly that there is motion by a sound. It was easy to set up. I kept this separate, so I'm not using the sync module that came with my three blink outdoor cameras that are connected with a sync module. You were given that choice. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that it does not view through glass at night. It does do well during the day.. I have another security camera from another manufacture, and have the same problem with that.

    These cameras work great, I like that I can check in on the app when I am away. You can also set them to record when it detects motion if you are not at home. It has a speaker so you can talk from the app. quality of video is good for the price you pay (the picture i uploaded is zoomed in all the way so quality usually looks better)

    I bought 2 of these to use in my reptile tanks. These cameras are great to see what my reptiles are doing throughout the day. I have them connected to a power strip that has USB outlets and they have the capability of working upside down so you just flip the camera view in the app. It also works at night. If you get the subscription you have it save 30 second clips when it detects motion.

    Wow, this thing is small. Works great. Picture is super clear. Comes with a free 1 month trial of pay service, after which I plan on buying the monthly $3basic service, which is all you need for 1 cam. Night vision is cool.

    I own 3 of these now. The first one works so well I bought 2 more. Very easy to set up. The bottom detections works flawlessly. The saved video is very good quality. Set it up and forget about it. One of my dogs has agoraphobia so this is a great way to keep an eye on her when I have to leave her alone.

    I like the video quality, and it's very easy to set up and use. I got a great deal as part of a bundled offer, and I'm glad I did. It could only be improved if it offered the ability to zoom in on video that's been recorded. Nice to zoom in and get a clear look at faces captured. And, though it's Amazon Alexa compatible, you have to have separate apps to control it for any brands that aren't the same. It does allow you to schedule various actions, like automatic turns ons and offs at specific times or days.

    I was hesitant to buy this at first but after asking frieds, I went ahead and purchased last black Friday sale. It's worth the price and is easy to install. I set it up in my living room and covers wider area. The video quality is good. I also tried the trial cloud subscription.

    NO CONTINUOUS RECORDING! Not Key or MyQ compatible

    The day quality and night vision of this camera is really good but it's motion detection only. I recently purchased a MyQ garage hub and wanted to implement a camera but this won't connect with the Amazon key app or the MyQ app. It's a solid motion detection camera but not for someone looking for continuous recording. There is no SD slot so you can only watch live views or capture motions kinda like a ring doorbell. I'm only using it for my garage but I'm kinda disappointed it can't be used with Amazon Key since it's an Amazon product and they discontinued the Amazon cloud cam. Overall it's an average camera with average features. If I knew it didn't work for Amazon Key or MyQ I woulda just bought a continuous recording camera for cheaper off Amazon.

    Works without a hub means less clutter. Nice and clear video resolution. No monthly fees. Small and conspicuous design. Surface mount or wall mount capable. Two way communication. Easy set-up, took me less than 15mis. I can monitor my pets and kids and easy to set the different zones to avoid false alerts when motion detection is engaged. Definitely will add more.

    Good video quality. Motion adjustments are easy to use. I use one mini cam on my oil tank. I never have to go in the basement again to look. Plus I can see how much is delivered. I have a smart plug to turn the light on when needed and shut off when I’m done viewing my gauge. I set my calendar to remind me to look every 3 weeks even though I look every week. My mini cams are connected to my hub with other blink cameras. This is connected to the gun, I don’t know if it can be used without a hub.

    this was only $5 when I got my echo so I got it. It allows me to bring it up on the echo screen or my phone screen. I can arm it on my phone and it'll record when motion is detected. Has a wide lens so it can see a lot of my front room. Worth a look. Setup took a bit and you have to know how to use the alexa app decent to add that if youre wanting to.

    Blink Mini watches the sump pump

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    We wanted a simple security camera to keep an eye on our sump pump and the Blink Mini did the trick. It was easier than expected to set up on my cell phone and I’m technologically challenged! I can open the app on my phone at any time, see the crock, hear the water drain in, hear the pump kick on and watch the water drain. The volume is good and the feed is in black and white but that’s fine for this. Problem solved, no more running up and down stairs to check that the pump is working and peace of mind when we’re away. It comes with 30 days of free cloud storage but we don’t need that so I’ll cancel before we start being charged. This is a wired model, not wireless. We mounted it to a wood shelf so it was secure over the crock and so the 6-1/2 foot cord would reach a plug. We had to turn the camera sideways though to accommodate the cord attached at the shelf but we can still tell what we’re looking at. Inexpensive solution for us to avoid a basement flood.

    I use these cameras to monitor my 3D printers as they are working and could not be happier. The picture is clear, night vision is clear and comes with a simple setup. When I add more printers, I’ll be adding more of these cameras. Well worth the price!!

You have the option to arm or disarm the device.
