      Hello trump,
      Thank you for your feedback on the Blink mini Pan-Tilt. I am sorry to hear your concerns on the product. You can use a Blink pan-tilt camera without a subscription, but your features will be limited to Live View (up to 5 minutes), motion detection, and two-way audio. To save video clips without a subscription, you will need a Blink Sync Module 2 and a compatible USB flash drive for local storage. I hope this information is helpful! AmazonDevices

    I love the fact that this is easy to set up and add to my existing Blink system. The motion feature allows great visibility to the entire living space giving us great peace of mind when we are not at home. Set up took less than 5 minutes. It was also great in assisting us on which dog was chewing on our wood banister. Now he needs a new home!!! The controls in the app are intuitive and easy to use. One simple touch and the camera moves in the exact direction that I want. The pan and tilt action of the base is just what I needed. The picture quality is above par for this type of camera and I’m thoroughly impressed by it daily when I check on my dogs while I’m at work. you can also put it on the regular base station for a static position. But for my needs the pan and tilt base is perfect. Sounds quality is really top notch and i can hear everything that’s going on in my house without any issue. The look of the device really kind of fits in with my decor. It’s hidden away in a corner on a bookshelf and you have to really know that it’s there to see it.

    Couldn’t get the camera to calibrate - even after several conversations with customer support. They recommended deleting the camera and reinstalling. When I tried that, I was unable to reinstall the camera. I wouldn’t recommend.

    Decent price. Unfortunately, as others have written, device audio leaves alot to be desired. We couldn't hear anything over the awful static. Returned and went with another brand.

    When it works it is good, it just disconnects and says it needs to recalibrate at least twice a week, But I have to attempt to recalibrate it at least 10 times before it takes.

    Excellent addition to the Blink camera line

    I already own 2 Blink Mini and 2 Blink Outdoor cameras and I really like them, so when the Pan-Tilt mount came out, I knew it would be something I would want to add. I wanted a camera that I could pan and tilt so that I can view the room at all angles when I’m not there. I wanted to set it so that it wasn’t motion activated and would only be viewable on “Live View.” After using this for a week, I think I will get 2 more for the other 2 mini cameras. Blink Mini Camera: The camera quality is good. I keep it set on the “Best” quality video, but there are 2 lower settings (Standard and Saver.) The Blink App is very user friendly and does everything you would want it to do. Activity Zones allow you to block off areas that you don’t want any motion to cause your camera to start recording. For motion-detected recording, you can set the recording time for up to 30 seconds and the retrigger time can be set anywhere between 10 seconds and 60 seconds. You can enable or disable the motion detection on any individual camera and if you set your cameras up in “groups” you can “arm” or “disarm” any group. You can also switch any camera to Live View at any time. In Live View, I recorded for a little over 3 minutes to test and see if the 30 second limit applied to “Live View” and was glad to see it does not. You can also set the camera to end the clip early if motion stops. There is a very slight lag time of about 1 second between when the camera detects motion and when it begins recording. The camera has excellent night vision and you can set the IR intensity to 3 different levels. The camera has audio – both sending and receiving. You can set the audio level you want. To speak through the camera, you hold a button down on the app as you speak. The only thing I would like to see changed is to speed up the retrigger time for motion detection and/or to have the option to keep recording past the 30 seconds if there is still motion being detected. The Pan-Tilt Mount: The mount is easy to set up and the app found the camera immediately and knew that it was on a pan-tilt mount. I set the camera to view both the sound board and the dog crate so that I can check on my dog at night in case of a storm. When we leave the house, I am able to go into the app and pan and tilt to get a full view. There is a 360 degree pan button on the app, which causes the camera to pan first to the right until it is completely turned backward, then it automatically pans all the way to the left until it completely turned backward from that side. Then it automatically returns to the previous view. The view from behind slightly overlaps so you don’t miss anything. In addition to the right and left arrow buttons for panning, and the up and down arrow buttons for tilting, there is a “Home” button that returns the mount to neutral. The only complaint I have is the lag time. If you hold down the arrow to pan, by the time you see the camera starting to move in the app, you’ve held it down long enough so that it continues to pan all the way to the side, even after you removed your finger from the arrow button. The same thing occurs with the tilt arrows. You can press the arrows 1 or more times to get smaller panning increments, but the camera will be jerky. You can also hold down the button for less time and through trial and error, you could learn about how long to hold it to move it the amount you need. I opted for the Blink subscription to be able to save my videos on the cloud, but that it optional. Overall, I am very happy with the Blink Mini-Camera and would recommend it highly.
