The Blink Mini 2 is on sale now for $20.
With a stronger construction, improved video quality, new spotlight, person detection, and weather resistance for outdoor use, the Blink Mini 2 is a definite upgrade from the first generation.
As an Amazon device, the Blink Mini 2 works with Alexa but not Google Home, Matter, or other smart home systems.
If you’re looking for an affordable security camera that can rival the Wyze Cam in functionality and durability, Blink may have the one for you.
I tested the Blink Mini 2 for a few weeks and noticed some big changes over the original Blink Mini, which I’ve had for almost two years. Widely known as an affordable indoor camera, the Blink Mini is a compact plug-in camera that can be installed anywhere inside or outside your home.Blink Mini 2
The Blink Mini 2 is a compact plug-in security camera fit for indoor or outdoor use, featuring on-device person detection, Alexa support, a 143-degree FOV, and a built-in spotlight.
The older Blink Mini has two-way audio, 1080p video resolution, Amazon Alexa integration, and works as a chime for the Blink video doorbell. The new Blink Mini 2 has all these features, plus weather-resistant indoor and outdoor construction, person detection, and a spotlight.
The weather resistance is a feature that takes the Blink to the next level, making it a direct Wyze Cam v3 competitor. Wyze Cam maker Wyze Labs has recently been the target of user frustration after a service outage led to a privacy incident where some users could temporarily see other users’ live cameras and events.
