"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 competitor."
"After testing the Blink Mini 2, I spoke to Blink's head of product, Jonathan Cohn, to discuss the ins and outs of the new security camera. Cohn explained that after listening to user feedback, the company added weather resistance and a spotlight, which works as a light source for color night vision, to illuminate dark areas when motion is detected. The camera also has a recording indicator to deter would-be intruders."
The Blink Mini 2 retains two-way audio, 1080p video resolution, Amazon Alexa integration, and compatibility as a chime for the Blink video doorbell. It adds weather-resistant indoor/outdoor construction, person detection, a spotlight that provides color night vision when motion is detected, and a recording indicator to deter intruders. The spotlight is bright enough to illuminate approaching people and pathways but is not as powerful as dedicated outdoor lighting. The camera must remain plugged in and suits garages or locations with available power. A recent Wyze service outage and privacy incident has driven interest in more secure, weather-resistant camera options.
