Unbeatable Deal on the Blink Mini 2 Security Camera
The Blink Mini 2 is now available for just $19.99, a significant drop from its original price of $39.99. This price marks its all-time low as reported by price tracking services.
This compact security camera features a generous 143-degree field of view, enhanced low-light capabilities, and an integrated LED spotlight for vivid color night vision. While the night vision operates in color with the spotlight, it defaults to black and white without it. Additionally, the updated model can identify people, pets, and packages, although accessing this feature requires a Blink subscription at $3 per month for a single camera or $10 for unlimited cameras. Even without the subscription, users can enjoy live views, motion detection, and local storage capabilities through the Sync Module 2 ($49.99), which allows recording to an SD card (up to 256GB) instead of utilizing cloud storage. This camera is compatible with Alexa and integrates with IFTTT for home automation, but lacks support for Google Assistant or Apple HomeKit.
The Blink Mini 2 has an IP65 rating, indicating some level of weather resistance. However, if outdoor use is intended, a separate purchase of the $9.99 Blink Weather Resistant Power Adapter is necessary, as the standard power cable isn’t designed to withstand moisture. This added expenditure is worth consideration, particularly when compared to alternatives like the TP-Link Tapo C120, priced at $24.99 (down from $39.99), which comes fully weatherproofed. Furthermore, the Tapo C120 can record at 2K quality instead of 1080p, and offers AI-based notification features without requiring a subscription. For those in need of superior image quality and complimentary smart detection, this additional $5 may prove to be a more valuable investment.
