The Blink Mini 2 is an affordable upgrade from the original Blink Mini security camera, priced at $20 or bundled with a weatherproof power adapter for $30. It incorporates user feedback to enhance its design with features like weather resistance, a spotlight for night vision, and person detection. These improvements position it as a competitive alternative to other cameras, especially in light of recent privacy issues faced by competitors like Wyze Labs. The camera maintains core functionalities like two-way audio and 1080p resolution, making it versatile for both indoor and outdoor use.
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 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.
