The Blink Mini 2 security cam drops to its lowest price ahead of Prime Day
Next-gen home security for cheap
Amazon's home security cameras are on sale ahead of next month's Prime Day with record-low prices available to all. So, instead of waiting another couple of weeks, you can now get the Blink Mini 2 at Amazon for $19.99 (was $39.99).
The Blink camera series fits well into any Alexa-based smart home. You can use it indoors out of the box or buy the outdoor adapter to use it outside for $29.98 (was $49.98).
This is the lowest price we've seen for the new Blink Mini since its launch, a deal that's even better if you want the bundle options with two or more cameras. Each one includes a mounting kit and stand, a USB cable, and a power adapter. Outdoor adapters, subscriptions, and other add-ons are sold separately.
Today's best Blink security camera deal
Blink Mini 2: was $39.99 now $19.99 at Amazon
The Blink Mini 2 is on sale for its cheapest price yet, and the discount extends to several bundles with the outdoor adapter and multiple cameras. It's simple to use: just plug it in to start. You can view footage live with the Blink app from a smartphone or tablet and communicate via two-way audio, even from afar. The Blink Mini 2 also works well with Alexa, so you can use voice commands to open the live view and arm or disarm the device. If you want to use the Blink Mini 2 outside, we'd recommend buying the outdoor adapter to protect it from the weather while it's also on sale.
The Blink Mini 2 plug-in security camera supports 1080p HD footage live on the Blink app straight from your smartphone. It also includes options for night view with a built-in spotlight and wider field of view. You can communicate from the camera with the two-way audio and receive real-time motion alerts based on detection settings.
It's mostly used for in-home surveillance. However, the weather-resistant outdoor adapter can change that. While it can temporarily show you footage, it can't stream it continuously or save it.
Amazon also offers an option to get a discount on the Blink Subscription Plan that saves security footage. You can save and share clips from a cloud and stream up to 90 minutes of live footage per session. However, any purchase of a Blink Mini 2 currently offers a free 30-day trial of the Blink Subscription Plan. In that case, it might be better to try the subscription first before committing to it.
