Pros and Cons:
  • Compact design: Tiny size makes it discreet and perfect for indoor spaces.

  • Easy to use: Simple setup and user-friendly app for remote monitoring.

  • Affordable: Competitively priced, especially when purchased in a 2-pack bundle.

  • No cloud storage without subscription: Free plan only allows limited clip viewing. Cloud storage requires a Blink subscription.

  • Indoor use only: Not suitable for outdoor environments.

  • Lacks person detection: Motion detection can be triggered by pets or other movements.

Summary:

The Blink Mini is a great option for those seeking a simple and affordable indoor security camera.

Its small size makes it inconspicuous, and the easy setup process is ideal for DIY enthusiasts.

However, keep in mind that cloud storage requires a subscription, and it won't differentiate between people and other moving objects.
