This is a good time to decide if you’d rather avoid getting alerts when, say, a car shines its headlights through your front door window. Here, you can choose a lower setting to reduce the barrage of alerts you might be getting in the initial experience. Motion SensitivityĪs you’ll learn in my in-depth Blink Mini camera review, the sensitivity slider in the Blink app will be your friend. So the first thing to note: You won’t find much to gripe about in terms of video quality. Like all Blink cams, Blink Mini runs on fluid video, meaning it regularly fluctuates from higher (1080p) to lower video resolutions to allow it to run more smoothly and without gaps in your timeline. My tests of Blink Mini centered around home entryways. It did a great job taking care of the basics, and all in all, you can’t really expect more than the basics out of a camera that’s only $35. It might not look like much, but Blink Mini is a powerful tool in any home security toolbox. The setup process is a really good time to get to know your camera and make it work for your space, so take your time and have patience here. But I do think it’s worth emphasizing not to rush through this process. You can find much more on Wyze in my hands-on Wyze Cam review.īut as far as setting up a Blink camera, it’s pretty hard to mess this part up, since you’re talking about a relatively simple piece of tech and an equally simple, intuitive app (see more Blink app images below).
Not only do they resemble each other somewhat in appearance, the cameras also cost less than much of the competition. If you’re into simple wireless tech, you’ll appreciate Blink and Wyze. The only cameras I can recall that had an easier setup were from Wyze Cams. Like a multitude of DIY cameras in this market, the Blink cameras follow an intuitive setup that mostly consists of scanning a QR code, naming the cameras, and following in-app instructions to sync the camera to your smartphone via the Blink Home Monitoring app. That said, let’s take a deeper look at all that a Blink system has to offer.

And, as always, I’ll share any drawbacks worth noting in a full suite of Blink cams. You’ll learn whether this system is as dependable as other leading camera brands in capturing potential danger in the nick of time – arguably the most vital function of any home security device. I took Blink’s three cameras for a spin recently, noting how they worked in the nooks and crannies of a modest single-family home. They’ve also added a few neat upgrades over their previously released XT2 indoor/outdoor camera to round out the system, which I’ll dig into shortly. It’s nice to see that in 2021, Blink is still putting out solid battery-operated cameras that provide up to two years of continuous use and affordable video storage, keeping both up-front and monthly costs low.
