4.4-star average rating from 8,830 reviews on Amazon
With the Blink Mini 2 and the Blink app, you can check the live video feed, listen in, speak through the camera and receive motion detection notifications anytime. The camera has a wide 143-degree field of view, and displays video in color day and night. (You can also use the built-in spotlight to get brighter night time footage, or switch to black and white mode.) The camera is IP65 dust and water-resistant — pair it with the weather-resistant power adapter (sold separately), and you can use it outdoors without worry.
If you have a Blink subscription ($3 per month), you get more features like recording and sharing events, cloud storage and person detection, which will send you more specific notifications about when the camera sees a person, rather than just motion.
