Blink Mini review: Amazon jumps into the budget security camera fray

The latest Blink takes on cheap, compact security cameras like the Wyze Cam.

Budget price ; Compact and portable ; Accurate, customizable motion detection

No audio detection ; Spartan app is in need of a makeover ; Currently, no local storage option

The Blink Mini is a practical choice for an indoor camera, but don’t expect to be wowed by it, at least in its current state. With local storage expected at an as-yet-unknown date, and an app overdue for an update, the camera feels very much like a...

Blink Mini review

The Blink Mini home security camera is a good option, but it's not the best value for indoor cameras.

I do like that the Blink Mini has a highly customizable motion detection, as well as a host of other settings, but for those who want the best home security camera on a budget, it’s not the best option.

Blink mini surveillance camera review: Pocket-sized security

How good can miniature security cameras be? We received two models fromImmedia Semiconductor. The Blink cameras and their outdoor counterpart the Blink XT offer security that's as small of a pack of cigarettes. They're expensive, so are they really...

Simple setup ; Compact and unobtrusive ; Actually wireless ; Modern app ; Long-term strategy ; Free cloud storage

Poor image quality ; Unusable sound quality ; Limited memory

With Blink you could have found the ideal surveillance camera for extra security. The image quality, however, is only good with the XT version, and thanks to the unobtrusive IR night version, it’s also suitable around the clock. The optional power...
