If you want an affordable way to keep an eye on your home (or check in on pets), the Blink Mini 2 packs core security-camera essentials into a small, plug-in design. From the Blink app, you can see what’s happening in up to 1080p HD, talk through the camera with two-way audio, and get motion notifications on your phone so you can respond from anywhere.

Unlike many compact indoor cams, Mini 2 adds a built-in spotlight for color night view, plus a wider field of view (143° diagonal) to help cover more of a room. It can also pull double duty as a plug-in chime for the Blink Video Doorbell (sold separately), providing an audible alert when someone presses the doorbell.

For storage, you can use a free 30-day trial of a Blink Subscription Plan for cloud clip storage. After the trial, cloud storage requires a subscription, or you can back up locally with a Sync Module 2 + USB drive or Sync Module XR + microSD card (all sold separately). Optional subscription features can also add smart notifications like person detection using embedded computer vision (CV).

  • Up to 1080p HD live view with a 143° diagonal field of view
  • Color night view with a built-in spotlight
  • Real-time motion alerts sent to your smartphone
  • Crisp two-way audio to hear and speak through the Blink app
  • Indoor plug-in setup in minutes; outdoor use with weather-resistant power adapter (sold separately)
  • Flexible video storage: cloud (subscription) or local backup with Sync Module (sold separately)
  • Works with Alexa for viewing, alerts, and hands-free talk on compatible Echo devices

What’s in the box: one Blink Mini 2 camera (White), stand, mounting screws, indoor power adapter, and indoor USB-C cable.
