Why do shoppers love it?

Blink cameras are popular with customers because they just plain work. Everything about them is easy, from installation to interface, which happens through the Blink smartphone app. From here, you can navigate through one or countless indoor and outdoor Blink cameras and even add these security devices to your current smart home setup. 

Once you set it up, the Blink Mini provides instant insights on what's happening in your home in full 1080 HD, day or night. The infrared night vision depicts a surprising amount of detail at night, so you can inspect those scary noises that wake you up at 3 a.m. without leaving the comfort of your bed. Anytime the camera senses activity, you'll get real-time alerts on your phone so you never miss a thing.

This camera is especially great for pet parents. Not only does it help you keep an eye on your furry friends when you're away, but the two-way audio lets you talk to them, so it will almost feel like you're home. Shoppers love the peace of mind this camera provides, especially at its price.

"I purchased the Blink Mini Camera to keep an eye on my home, and it’s been fantastic," one shopper said. "The setup was quick and simple, and the video quality is clear both day and night. I love the motion detection feature and the ability to get alerts on my phone instantly."
