    Whenever the camera is “armed” it will suddenly stop detecting motion. Additionally, you have to pay a subscription to actually view recordings. Rip off
    1 reply from Amazon Devices Customer Support team - 2 months ago
    Hi Mike, thank you for providing feedback for the Blink Mini. I am sorry to see that you are having trouble with motion detection. Here is some troubleshooting that may help: Open the Blink app and navigate to the camera settings. > Ensure "Motion Detection" is toggled on. > Adjust the "Motion Sensitivity" slider to a higher level if you suspect it's set too low. (I would recommend testing this by creating significant motion in front of the camera.) Additionally, check the app for any software updates that may be available. In regards to having a subscription to view recordings, you also have the option to make a one-time purchase of a Blink Sync Module. The Sync Module 2 requires a power outlet and is connected to your always-on Wi-Fi network to handle activity for up to ten Blink devices. This enables you to save clips without a subscription, improve convenience for scheduling, and arm a group of devices at once. If you need any further assistance, please feel free to contact Blink Customer Service at 1-833-392-5465. Happy Holidays!

    It keeps dropping and I have to reload. Camera should stay on when you put it on.
    1 reply from Amazon Devices Customer Support team - 2 months ago
    Hello, Dcat! Thank you for leaving a review on the Blink Mini. With the Blink Subscription Plans, you can enable many premium features, including Extended Live View—exclusively for Blink Mini cameras. Extended Live View provides images and sound directly from a Mini to the Blink app for 90 minutes with a single tap. When your Mini camera is not part of a Blink Subscription Plan, Live View sessions are 60 seconds long. They can be extended to five minutes by tapping "Continue" when it appears every 60 seconds. I hope this information is helpful! If you have any other questions, I recommend calling Blink customer service for assistance. You can reach them at 1-833-392-5465. Have a great day! Thank you!

    The pixel was great but the camera hardly ever picked up any motions which was the whole reason I purchased the camera no matter how much I adjusted the sensitivity!
    1 reply from Amazon Devices Customer Support team - 3 months ago
    Hi Taytay, thank you for your feedback regarding the Blink Mini. I'm sorry to see that your experience has not been a good one so far. In this case, if the camera isn't detecting motion, the sensitivity might be too low. You can adjust the sensitivity in the Blink app. If this doesn't work, you can reset the Blink Mini camera by pressing the reset button on the bottom of the camera. If these steps do not help and you are still experiencing issues, you can reach out to Amazon Customer Support 24/7 at 1-888-280-4331. We appreciate your feedback and hope you have a good day!

    The camera’s are very blurry for some reason whether it is day or night and I have cleaned the lens and checked for any scratched on it
    1 reply from Amazon Devices Customer Support team - 4 months ago
    Hello, Tra! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm sorry to hear about the picture quality you're experiencing with the Blink Mini camera. I recommend opening the Video & Photo settings within the Blink app and changing the video settings to "best." I also recommend checking the camera's Wi-Fi signal strength. Signal strength plays an important part in how your video quality is rendered, since that data is downloaded directly from the Blink servers to the camera. If you're still experiencing video quality issues, I recommend calling Blink customer service for assistance. You can reach them at 1-833-392-5465. I hope this information is helpful. Thank you!

    This camera is entirely unreliable. despite paying monthly for a subscription, it will go an entire day without picking up any motion. I lost days will not receive notifications from 6a onward until it randomly starts recording at night. I have gone through every setting and called customer care. I would recommend choosing another brand

    Hi EAH, We are sorry you are having trouble with your Blink Mini. Lapses like this can occur when the Wi-Fi signal is not strong in your space, or the motion zones are not set up. If you want to troubleshoot further, you can call Blink customer support at 1-833-392-5465. Hope that helps!

    Hello, Cindy! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of the Blink Mini. While the Blink subscription provides cloud storage, extended live view, and many more benefits, without the subscription, the Blink Mini can still be used for live view, motion detection, two-way talk, and with a Sync Module 2 (sold separately), you can use a USB flash drive and save events locally. If you have any questions about the device, I recommend calling Blink customer service for assistance. You can reach them at 1-833-392-5465. I hope this information is helpful. Thank you!

    Works good & no connectivity issues. Unbeatable price for a good basic wired camera. Never had any connectivity issues or loss of stream & we have notoriously bad wifi. I will subtract a star because the cord isnt SUPER long, and i do notice some audio feedback wooshing (we do have 2 in one open floor plan space, so maybe thats why). I have a fancy ring camera as well, and i like this one just as much. Install easy.

    Good for the price. Using it as a puppy cam and it works as advertised and expected. Biggest con is that it makes a clicking sound every time it records motion or connects to live view. Also it’s an Amazon product in the Alexa family. I try to avoid Amazon products and may have chosen a different item if I’d known.

    Overall a decent camera for the price. But Blink has a policy where footage gets permanently deleted after a certain point. So the entire reason to have the camera, is kind of pointless.
    1 reply from Amazon Devices Customer Support team - 6 months ago
    Hi j8003, I am sorry about your experience thus far with the Blink Mini. For additional and unlimited storage, you can purchase Blink Sync Module 2, which has a USB port for local storage. As this method uses a USB thumb drive, you will have permanent access to all of our footage. Hopefully this information is helpful. Thank you for your feedback, and have a wonderful day!
