This smart camera impresses with its easy installation, reliable performance, and a range of intelligent features that elevate home monitoring to new heights.
The compact design of the Blink Mini is a standout feature, allowing it to discreetly blend into any indoor space. Its unobtrusive presence doesn't compromise its capabilities, as this camera packs a punch in terms of functionality.

Within minutes, the camera was up and running, connected to my home Wi-Fi network and ready to provide real-time monitoring.
Video quality is a strong suit of the Blink Mini, capturing clear and sharp 1080p HD footage. The wide-angle lens ensures comprehensive coverage of the room, minimizing blind spots. The camera's infrared night vision capability guarantees visibility even in low-light conditions, delivering around-the-clock surveillance for enhanced security.
Motion detection is a key feature that sets the Blink Mini apart. The camera's sensitivity can be customized through the app, allowing users to tailor the monitoring to their specific needs. When motion is detected, the camera instantly records a short clip and sends a notification to the connected device, ensuring timely awareness of any activity.
Two-way audio functionality adds an interactive element to the Blink Mini. The ability to both hear and speak through the camera facilitates communication with family members, pets, or even potential intruders. This feature enhances the camera's utility beyond mere surveillance, providing an extra layer of engagement.
Cloud storage options offer flexibility for storing and reviewing recorded footage. The Blink subscription plans come with varying storage capacities and additional features, allowing users to choose a plan that suits their needs. The free cloud storage option for two hours of footage is a thoughtful inclusion for users with basic monitoring requirements.
The Blink Mini seamlessly integrates with other smart home devices, such as Amazon Alexa. This compatibility enables voice commands for tasks like arming or disarming the camera, adding to the convenience of managing the security system.
The purchase experience was smooth, with the Blink Mini arriving securely packaged and including all necessary components for installation. The thoughtful inclusion of a mounting bracket and adhesive strips provided versatile options for camera placement.
In conclusion, the Blink Mini Compact Indoor Plug-In Smart Security Camera stands out as a reliable and user-friendly solution for indoor surveillance. Its compact design, high-quality video, customizable features, and seamless integration with smart home ecosystems make it a compelling choice for individuals seeking a hassle-free and effective security camera.

Hit or Miss
I have a 50% success rate with these cameras. My girlfriend purchased one that, right out of the box, is having some software issues not connecting to my Wi-Fi. I wish I could say something good about customer service but when I submitted a ticket including the troubleshooting solutions I tried, I received a generic email back suggesting I try solutions that, you guessed it, I have already tried! It’s been a few days and I still have yet to get a response yielding any real solutions.It’s not all bad, however. As soon as I realized the first one wasn’t working correctly I remember I had read another review saying they had a similar issue and I purchased a second one myself. It arrived quickly and the setup process was flawless and quick, using the same process as the first non functional one.The camera quality is good. We use it from inside a window looking out around our front door. These cameras are not designed to look THROUGH glass at a dimly lit area because the IR light will just reflect off the glass and back into the sensor resulting in a completely washed out image. If you have an exterior light making the area visible, you have the option of turning off the IR light and the camera has no issue seeing through the glass at that point, just make sure the area you’re trying to view is lit by an alternate source. The motion sensing feature is nifty and the trigger zones can be changed to your preference. Also in the box comes a set of screws so you can mount the camera to a vertical or inverted surface, however there are no physical instructions on how to do so and you will need to scan a QR code on the packaging for those. The included USB-A to Micro USB cable has some decent length to it. I haven’t measured it but if I were to guess it’s probably around 10ft. The Micro USB end has a housing that only fits the Blink camera.In summary, the camera is actually pretty decent if the one you order is working (unlike a handful of reviews I’ve seen) and you use it correctly. Just be prepared to immediately request a replacement/return through Amazon rather than sit around and wait for a legitimate response from customer service like myself. I’m pleased with my working camera. My low review is due to the lack of a pulse from Customer Service.
