Design and Installation: Compact and Versatile
The Blink Mini 2 features a sleek, compact design that not only blends discreetly into any home environment, but is also weather-resistant when equipped with Blink's dedicated power adapter, sold separately or as part of a bundle. This versatility allows users to place the camera both inside and outside their homes, offering unprecedented flexibility for a camera in this price range.
Night Vision Technology and Wide Field of View
Perhaps one of the most impressive features of the Blink Mini 2 is its built-in LED floodlight, which enables color night vision. This feature, rarely seen in security cameras at this price point, ensures superior image quality even in low-light conditions. Additionally, with an expanded field of view, users benefit from wider coverage of their space, reducing blind spots and increasing surveillance efficiency.
Smart Notifications and Person Detection
At the heart of the Blink Mini 2 is a custom-designed chip designed to optimize the camera's performance while maintaining an affordable price. This chip allows the camera to use computer vision to distinguish between people and other motions, such as those caused by animals or objects, thus avoiding unnecessary notifications. This feature is available through a Blink subscription, providing users with accurate and relevant alerts.
Privacy and Alexa Integration
As with all Blink products, the Mini 2 offers extensive privacy customization options. The Blink app allows users to define privacy zones, allowing them to precisely choose which areas to monitor while excluding others, such as busy streets. Additionally, the camera can be integrated with Alexa, allowing users to connect their Mini 2 to an Echo device for additional features such as alerts and voice control.
Blink Mini 2: Price and Plan
A Blink subscription provides access to additional features such as cloud video recording and up to 60 days of extended video history. Pricing is reasonable, starting at €3 per month or €30 per year per device. In terms of pricing, the Blink Mini 2 starts at €39.99 for indoor use, and €49.98 for outdoor use with the weather-resistant power adapter, making this cutting-edge technology accessible to a wide range of budgets.

With its advanced features, adaptable design, and privacy protection, it's an ideal option for those looking to secure their homes without compromising ease of use or aesthetics.
