- Blink Mini - Compact indoor plug-in smart security camera, 1080p HD video, night vision, motion detection, two-way audio, easy set up, Works with Alexa – 2 cameras (White)

I have a cabin that is located in a small town ( that is being generuse pop about 100) on the Canadian border.. Because of the remoteness I wanted some form of security and monitoring system, fortunately the area has internate service. I went to Amazon to see what was available at a reasonable cost for indoor plug in cameras. There were a number of brands including Rink which I use at home. Then I ran across Blink, I liked the style and the reasonable price of the Mini compact indoor plug in camera and the Mini indoor Pan-Tilt rotating camera. Also the yearly subscribtion which would cover an unlimited number of devices and has a number of services : 1. Motion activate notification by cell phone 2. Extended live view, continuous for 90 minute 3. Live view recording 4. Unlimited cloub storage of videos for 60 days and a number of others services, all for about $120 a year as compared to one device coverage for about $40 a year. Since I was going to have more than 3 devices or cameras I took the Blink Plus plan. As far as connecting the cameras to the internet just follow the directions and in about two minute your camera will be on-line. Then you can adjust the setting for each camera for motion detection area, sensitivity and other features. The camera have a good quality picture on my Iphone. The cameras have worked fallessly for the last 3 years. Because of the remoteness of the area, there are numberous power outages. When the internet comes back on the camera have always come back on too. when you are serveral hundred milec away you just can not drop by and reset the cameras. I check them all the time on my Iphone thru the BlinkApp, make setting adjustments, review video clips we no problems. A great product at a fair price, good quality, simple functionality that does the job. Will buy again

Proud of is amazing.Honestly , better than the first set that I purchased the audio output actually works compared to the other set that I purchased years ago... The vision is clear night vision's perfect sound, perfect, easy.Install perfect.. I plan on purchasing about four more

Have a Blink camera system in my home and bought these to add for additional coverage. They're affordable and function great! Once plugged in and connected to home wifi (easy to do), they offer good visibility during daylight or nighttime hours. While they're not "pan and tilt (or zoom)" cameras, they can be positioned easily by swiveling and/or tilting the camera on its stand to get the view you want, and depending on your setup and customization, you can get notifications when the camera is triggered by motion and/or video clips can be saved. Occasionally, I have used the app remotely to speak to someone and the sound quality in the speaker and the mic sound pickup is pretty good. These are a good value for the price and can give you peace of mind if you want to keep an eye on your pet or your home when you're not there.

I live alone in a first-floor apartment, in a non-gated community, in an okay but not perfectly safe part of town. I can't afford even a mid-price camera system and don't have much technical knowledge when it comes to hardware. For the past several years, I've been using Wyze cameras to peek in on my dog while I'm gone, see who's approaching my front door, and even keep an eye on and talk to maintenance workers in my apartment when I'm not there. But recently Wyze had a pretty big failure affecting most of their customers. Cameras went offline for hours on end, no one could log into their accounts, and (worst of all) communication was nonexistant. I hated not being able to check on my dog or see that my home was safe that day, so I started looking for other options, and Blink minis looked like a comparable solution. (To be fair, I've been using Wyze since 2017, and I've only run into whole system issues like this twice in that time.) Rather that replace all my Wyze cams at once, I decided to to get a few Blink minis and set them up for double-coverage in the areas most important to me -- front and back doors, and my dog. I set a price watch on the Blink minis, hoping to get them at a sale price, and sure enough, I was soon alerted to a 3 for $40 deal and grabbed it. I fumbled a little in setting them up, not understanding the networks that were trying to connect, but I eventually guessed my way through it and got the first camera working. Oddly enough, Wyze had another big system failure right in the middle of all this, so getting all 3 Blinks going last night has already paid off. As for how the Wyze and Blink systems compare... The Blink mini and the app are a little lacking, to be honest, at least when compared with Wyze. Both cameras have motion detection, night vision, and 2-way audio, as well as an available $10/mo subscription plan (to save clips from an unlimited # of cameras). But while Wyze cameras allow you to continuously record to micro SD without a subscription or additional expense, Blink mini will only record clips to SD if you spend another $50 on their Sync module. A Blink subscription, however, will record 10-second clips when it detects motion and save them for 60 days on the cloud, no SD card required. (10 seconds is the default. I finally found the setting to change it to 30 seconds, which is the max.) But a Wyze subscription will automatically record longer clips, anywhere from 12 seconds to however long the motion continues (at least a couple of minutes, from what I've seen) and store them on the cloud for 2 weeks. So while Wyze doesn't store them as long, they do record ALL the motion, even if it goes way longer than 30 seconds. Plus, Blink requires a 10-second break between clips, whereas a Wyze subscription just immediately starts recording, even if it's only been a couple of seconds since the previous motion ended. Additionally, Blink just isn't as feature-rich as Wyze. Blink has person detection if you're on a subscription plan. Wyze does, too, but Wyze also has package detection, friendly face recognition, and pet detection. So if you want Wyze to notify you when someone drops a package at your door but not if someone just walks by, it can. Blink can't do that. Wyze also allows you to set rules and schedules. For example, I have my Wyze cams scheduled to turn on notifications Mon-Fri at 7:30am (when I leave for work) and turn them off at 6:30pm (when I get home). The cameras are still on and recording motion clips to save on the cloud 24/7, but they're not sending unnecessary notifications when I'm home. Meanwhile, every moment, still or motion, is recorded to SD card -- and I didn't have to spend $50 on another module. With Blink, I can only schedule times for the cameras to be on and looking for motion, or I can snooze the notifications for up to 24 hours, but I can't actually schedule it not to send notifications at specific times. So what's the verdict? Blink mini is a good, basic camera at an affordable price, especially if you wait for it to go on sale. The $10/mo subscription is worth it to save video clips, and the picture/video quality is good. If you're already deep in the Amazon ecosystem with Ring doorbells, Echos, etc., then the Blink mini is a nice little addition. But if you're not already devoted to Amazon devices for the home, Wyze offers more for essentially the same price. All that said, I'm not disappointed with my purchase. These 3 Blink minis allow me to keep an eye on things even on the rare occasion that Wyze fails me.

Work great! They were super easy to connect to my Alexa system and the setup maybe took me 10 minutes. The cameras definitely are sensitive to motion and don’t miss much, but you can adjust the sensitivity. The video quality is as good as you would need it for security cameras around the house. The app does have a subscription that you need if you want the cameras to be of any real use, which is definitely worth it if you have the need for cameras.

Me gusta la simplicidad de conexión , no me gusta que no se puede expandir a que grabe en Dvr.

En ninguna parte advierte que la compatibilidad con Alexa esté supeditada al país. Por lo que, no cumple con lo que ofrece
