This is one of those items you just don’t really think about. It’s easy to set up, has acceptable video/audio quality, works well in darkness, decent motion detection, links easily into Alexa routines, upgrades well with the pan/tilt accessory and is cheap.I have a number myself and have installed more for others. While nothing special, there is also nothing wrong with this item at this price point for linkage into the rest of Blink and Alexa. I could create a list of improvements that would make it better, but it is a basic camera and a low cost, and for that it needs no more and is worth the cost.If you don’t want to set up and integrated Blink network with Alexa, and don’t mind more complicated set ups and use, you can probably find better options elsewhere. But as a basic cheap addition to a blink network this does the job, does it well, and after using for years I can confirm does it reliably too.From comparing the mini 2 to this reminded me that I had never reviewed this, add drummed in exactly how reliable they are while providing great value for money this is. I just hope they don’t stop producing them in favour of the mini 2 as just because something is cheap and basic, that doesn’t mean it hasn’t got an ongoing need and use, particularly with the reliability levels I have experienced with them.

The Blink Mini offers great video quality with 1080p HD and clear night vision, and the motion detection and two-way audio are handy features for pet monitoring. However, setting up the Blink subscription membership was frustrating. Despite multiple attempts and reaching out to customer service, I couldn’t activate it, limiting the camera’s cloud storage capabilities. The device itself works well for live monitoring, but the inability to fully access features due to membership issues is disappointing. If you’re just looking for basic functionality, it’s fine, but those wanting full features might face difficulties with the subscription setup.

The quality of the video capture on this cam is great. It gives a lot of security when we leave the house, and we can keep an eye on what our pets are doing. The night mode is just as clear and the it is really easy to set up. It looks good too as it doesn’t take up much space, it’squite discreet. The sound quality on the recordings is also good.

This camera is fantastic, especially for the price. I point it out of my dining room window to watch over our cars, the last cam I had was useless at night time, couldn’t see much at all, somehow this cam picks up detail even in the dark, night vision can’t be used because the light bounces back off the window, turn that off and still get great vision even at night, of course if you’re using it inside the night vision is superb as well.VERY easy to setup too, literally took a couple of minutes to download the app, create an account and sync the cam.Highly recommended.

Great cameras and easy to set up. Even a technophobe like me managed . They give a good clear picture and are great value for the money

The indoor camera performs exceptionally well. The video quality is clear, even in low-light conditions, and the setup process is straightforward. The motion detection is accurate, and the app integration makes it easy to monitor activity from anywhere.However, the SMS verification code feature does not work in Kenya. This makes it challenging to set up or recover accounts, especially when trying to secure access through two-factor authentication. It’s frustrating because everything else about the product is reliable and efficient.I hope the company can address this issue soon and improve compatibility with Kenyan mobile networks. Once that’s resolved, it would be an almost perfect product.
