What We Like

What We Don't Like

  • Storage: Blink Mini no longer has access to free cloud storage for new accounts, and also has no local storage.
  • Features: Doesn't have smart features (person detection and facial recognition).

Bottom Line

Blink's newest camera, the Mini is a compact smart camera with 1080p HD and infrared night vision. We loved commanding it using Alexa and showing our footage on our Fire TV!
