There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Packaging is very nice and instructions included are okay. I did have to use YouTube with my first cameras but no problem, I find I have to do that with most new devices I purchase anyway. I think my only real negative for these cameras, compared to my old SmartCam, is they do not track. I know you can buy an add on to move the camera through the app but having auto tracking is a really nice feature and the reason I keep my old camera.
However, I bought the Blink thinking that I could watch to see when my puppy jumps on my bed, and through the audio feature, I’d tell her to get off and she would.
Dog had (and has) other plans.
Set Blink up this morning with clear view of bed and as soon as I saw puppy was on it, I hit the mic button and instructed her to get down.
About 5 times.
All dog did was look up with curiosity to see where this sound was coming from. As far as I can tell, she ignored me, went back to sleep, and hasn’t moved in hours, as accompanying pics establish.
The Blink itself is great though. Obviously we have a case of operator error here 🤣.

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. The plug-in design eliminates the need for batteries, providing uninterrupted surveillance for added peace of mind.
Setting up the Blink Mini was a breeze, thanks to the user-friendly Blink Home Monitor app. The step-by-step instructions and intuitive interface guide users through the pairing process with remarkable ease. 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. The Blink Mini offers a sense of confidence and control over indoor security, proving that robust home monitoring doesn't have to be complicated.
From the moment I unboxed the Blink Mini, my expectations were high. Promising an uncomplicated setup, high-definition surveillance, night vision, motion detection, and two-way audio, this camera appeared to be the all-in-one solution I had been searching for. While it has impressively lived up to most of its promises, providing valuable peace of mind and a sense of security, my journey with the Blink Mini has also revealed some areas where reality falls short of expectation, shedding light on the intricate balance between its standout features and the limitations inherent to its compact size.
🌌 High-Definition Video & Night Vision: The Blink Mini's video quality has been nothing short of stellar. Capturing the details of my indoor environment in full 1080p HD clarity during the day has allowed me to keep an eye on my home with confidence. The night vision feature extends this surveillance into the darker hours, ensuring that my peace of mind is not limited by the sun's schedule. However, I noticed that the camera sometimes struggles with rapid changes in lighting conditions, momentarily affecting video quality as it adjusts.
🕵️♂️ Motion Detection & Alert Customization: The motion detection feature stands as one of the Blink Mini's pillars, alerting me to any activity within its field of view. The ability to customize sensitivity levels through the app has been instrumental in minimizing false alarms—though it's not without its learning curve. Initially, I was overwhelmed by notifications for trivial movements, but with time and adjustment, I found a sweet spot that balanced responsiveness with practicality.
🔊 Two-Way Audio: A Mixed Bag: The two-way audio feature promised a new level of interaction with my home, offering the ability to communicate with family members and pets directly through the camera. While the concept is fantastic, and it works well for the most part, there have been moments of frustration due to occasional audio delays and inconsistencies in sound quality, reminders of the technology's limitations and the need for further refinement.
🔌 Seamless Setup & Smart Home Integration: Installing the Blink Mini was as straightforward as advertised, seamlessly integrating into my Wi-Fi network and smart home ecosystem. The added convenience of voice commands through Alexa compatibility has been a highlight, showcasing the Blink Mini's ability to blend into the modern smart home seamlessly. Yet, the camera's reliance on a constant power source and Wi-Fi connection means that any interruption in these services directly impacts its functionality, a dependency worth considering.
In sum, the Blink Mini smart security camera has proven to be a valuable addition to my home, striking a commendable balance between form, function, and affordability. Its high-definition video, customizable motion detection, and integration capabilities have largely delivered on the promise of enhanced home security. However, the journey has also illuminated areas for improvement, particularly in adapting to lighting changes, refining the two-way audio experience, and mitigating dependencies on external factors like Wi-Fi stability. Embracing the Blink Mini is to recognize its potential to evolve, hoping future updates will address these nuances, further solidifying its place in the smart home security landscape.
