Cameras with a panning feature fill an important role, but aren’t that common from a well known brand like this one. For me, it’s the ability to check in on pets remotely and view the whole space. There are a lot of connected cameras out there, but most lock you to a stationary view, and sometimes what you really want to see is just out of frame. This is where a camera like this really shines. Blink’s offering is pretty solid, but not without app issues that would have normally lowered its score. The app is an essential part of using this camera, and while setup was simple enough, I ran into a few quality issues. For one, granting microphone access to the app allowed my audio (or static) to leak through the camera’s speakers while viewing through the app, causing feedback issues. This was odd and shouldn’t have happened since I wasn’t pressing the ‘speak’ button. The onscreen controls to pan around the view worked fairly well, but occasionally it would misinterpret a signal and move the camera in the wrong direction momentarily. It also frequently misinterpreted the colors of the room and got its white balance wrong, covering the view with a very obvious blue tint. This would go away after panning around a bit, but pair that with a few unpolished quirks and text and UI issues, and I wasn’t as impressed with the software side of Blink experience. Those software issues aside, I can acknowledge that the cost of the camera makes up for it. The build quality seems pretty solid and smartly put together, and again, you’re getting a remote panning ability (which is also very quiet.) That fills a real need for some like me. Coming in at just around 5 inches tall on its removable base, it’s small and unobtrusive too. All good qualities when looking for a camera like this. My first panning camera was terribly bulky in comparison to this one, and much more expensive. If buying as a security camera, the panning feature is possibly less useful. In fact, I didn’t find the security offerings here as advanced as other offerings, but if you just need footage triggered by motion at an affordable price I could see Blink as a good option, of course you’ll still need to pay a subscription fee. Blink did not convince me that I should change all of my cameras to match, but I will certainly keep this one for my specialized, live-view-panning needs! For the price, it’s simply hard to beat.

My husband and I have been using Blink Mini cameras pretty much since Amazon started selling them. We use them as a pet monitor when we’re out of the house and to secure our home when we’re on vacation. We’ve always felt they are an incredible value given the quality of video they produce and the plethora of features they boast, at a price that really cannot be beat. They’re really easy to set up and control using the Blink app. If you need additional cameras, it’s also really nice that they are sold by just about every major retailer out there. The 360 pan-tilt mount has been a game changer, especially when it comes to pet monitoring. We confine our dog to the kitchen and living room when we go out for groceries, to see a movie, etc. Our Blink Mini given the pet monitoring task sits atop our kitchen cabinets. We often found that if our dog was directly below the camera or off to the side too far, he would be out of frame, potentially getting up to no good. Having the ability to move the camera eliminates this viewing angle limitation. We can then activate the two way audio and stop any doggo shenanigans. For those that are considering purchasing their first Blink Mini, do it. As I already mentioned, they are a great value and are easy to set up and control. One thing that I would suggest is also picking up a Blink Sync Module. These are fantastic for controlling all of your cameras/Blink devices and allow you to record and manage videos locally on a flash drive instead of purchasing a monthly cloud subscription. I’m all about cutting down on monthly expenses, especially as so many companies and products are moving to cloud based subscription services. Is there anything not to like about the Blink Mini or 360 pan-tilt mount? Nothing that comes to mind as I sit here and write this. The only thing that has ever concerned me about Amazon products in general is privacy. I’ve mostly gotten over this fear at this point as Amazon products pretty much run our entire home. Just food for thought and something to consider any time you introduce new audio or video tech into your home.

Camera does not move to motion you have to pan and tilt the camera. Great little camera does not have to be hooked up to the module that the other outdoor cameras do so you can have multiple independent mini indoor cameras without having to hook them together. Catch is really good motion and has good night vision. It catches really good audio as well. You can snooze alerts and set areas for motion to be detected or not to be detected. It has a good range of motion to pan and tilt and I have two of them at this point and I love both of them.

It is easy to set up and very useful for watching the home when out. I love the that I can move the camera around to pan the room and see what going on. The quality of the feed is just perfect for me.

Pan-Tilt combines a very nice camera with full 360 vision. Setup was fairly quick if you go to the setup page where there are full step-by-step and additional videos. This is very important because if you go in blind it can be a little tricky to know you can and are supposed to snap of the camera from its existing mount "if the pan-tilt is bought seperately". Install is done using the app connected to your in-home wifi. This was about the only difficult step here if you rush without reading instructions. App+phone on wifi BEFORE you connect to the camera's wifi itself to configure everything. This is the one part where the App's error message are not helpful. 30 second delay in groking later. Everything is installed and working perfectly! This is a nice security camera that operates straight off a usb-micro to usb charger. So you just place it somewhere central in your home and go. If you wanted to you could ceiling mount it since the app supports video flip. Very nice. It's got armed modes so if there's any motion detected you get an alert and instant video record. The camera also has both sound AND microphone which is clearer and louder than I expected. Audio delay is very low "about a 1/3 second" which is a lot better than another security camera I have by almost 2 seconds. One thing I was surprised at.. night quality. With the lights out, I was expecting not much. But it actually gives a very nice image. Pan-Tilt action is easy to use and covers fully 180 left and 180 right and to a hard stop for a full 360 coverage. I'm not sure why it can't keep going around in a full revolution. Overall, there aren't any features I've been unhappy with and it's exceeded my expectations on video quality "especially at night" and on audio.

Great product. Easy to set up. Sales person efficient.

This is a great camera for the price. I love the rotation viewing the entire the room. It’s also easy to install and navigate.

I recently purchased the Best Buy indoor camera and I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase! The camera is easy to set up and connect to my WiFi network. The video quality is crystal clear and the wide angle lens allows me to see my entire living room. I love that I can customize the alerts and receive notifications when motion is detected. The two-way audio feature is also useful, allowing me to communicate with my family members when I'm not home. Overall, this camera has given me peace of mind and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality indoor camera.

Cameras are easy to set up a s install. Good video quality and great features to help you keep up with what is going on.

Easy to set up, the video is clear, and I love that I can pan and tilt it from my phone. Perfect for keeping an eye on things at home.

Easy to setup, high-quality video, Alexa integration, affordable. Excellent inversion

Relative recently got a new pup, so I bought this as a Christmas gift so she could keep tabs on her pooch while she’s at work/ away. Wasn’t sure if it would end up getting much use but it’s been getting daily use for months now. Easy to set up + portable (theirs gets brought on vacations) and good picture quality. Inexpensive and the peace of mind it brings is priceless. Very happy with my purchase.

We use this to check in on my dog whenever we have to leave the house so we only connect it when we’re about to leave. It was very easy to setup. However, sometimes it does take a bit longer for the camera to go into live view right after connecting it to power. We are able to turn the camera in any direction and can talk through it.

Excellent product and quality, easy to configure, good resolution of high quality and sound. Recommended

great camera clear and easy to set up the tilt and go around is great for the whole room

The camera comes separate from the base in the box. You just have to snap it to the base. Setup is easy and on the app it has directional buttons, so you can view in every direction. Works great.

Setup was very easy and picture/sound quality is very good. Connectivity is consistent. We use it to check on our dogs’ behavior when we are out and the pan-tilt feature is excellent for this.

I purchased the Sync Module with the tilt security camera for my mother's room at John Knox to monitor theft that had been occurring. Both were easy to install and PERFECT for the job! The only area for improvement would be restoring a deleted occurrence.

Good price. Good quality. Fairly easy set-up. Well worth it.

Endlessly grateful for the individuals at Best Buy that helped tailor a guide for my family on what camera was most suitable for our needs. I can’t emphasize enough the importance of the rotating features, steadily and surely marking every movement- we never miss a notification with our personalized sensitivity sensors to movement. Not only can I sleep sound knowing my family is safe, but my camera is too! (Get the protection plan, I promise it’s worth it).
