A: Hello Beck and thank you for your question! The Blink Mini requires a stable 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and a high-speed internet connection with at least 2 Mbps upload speed. It does not support 5 GHz networks, cannot operate offline, and requires a Blink app downloaded onto a smartphone device. Hope this helps! Have a great day!

A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about the Blink Mini 1080p Security Camera Yes, the Blink Mini does need an internet connection to work properly. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day between 7 am and 11 pm CST.

A: Hi kc, Great question! Yes, you can control the notification volume for the Blink Mini 1080p alerts on your phone — though it works a little differently than a dedicated in-app volume slider. Here's how: Phone notification volume: The alert sound level is tied to your phone's overall notification volume. On both iPhone and Android, you can adjust this in your phone's Settings > Sounds (iOS) or Settings > Sound & Vibration (Android) and adjust the notification/ringtone volume slider. iOS Focus/Do Not Disturb: If you want quieter alerts at certain times (like overnight), you can use iPhone's Focus modes to silence or allow only specific app notifications. Android notification channels: On Android, you can go to Settings > Apps > Blink > Notifications and customize the alert behavior for Blink specifically, including setting a custom notification sound. Within the Blink app: You can manage which types of motion alerts trigger a notification under Camera Settings > Motion Detection, which helps reduce notification frequency if you're getting too many alerts. Unfortunately, the Blink app itself doesn't have a standalone volume control separate from your phone's system settings — so your phone's notification volume is your main dial to turn. Hope that helps, kc!

A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Blink Mini 1080p Security Camera. The short answer is no, there is no dedicated volume slider within the Blink app specifically for notifications. Instead, the alert volume is tied directly to your phone’s system-wide "Notifications" or "Media" volume settings. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

A: Hi Annalio, The Blink Mini can detect motion best from about 7–19 ft, and up to around 30 ft depending on placement and settings. It has about a 110° viewing angle, so it covers most of a room when positioned well. Hope this helps!

A: Hello Sue and thank you for your question! The Blink Mini can be used in windows to view the outdoors, but the user experience can vary greatly based on the internal and external conditions of placement. It may be done, but the user will need to adjust settings to prevent glare or reflection. Hope this helps! Have a great day!

A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about the Blink Mini 1080p Security Camera Yes, you can place a Blink Mini in a window to look outside. You must change these settings in the Blink app:Turn OFF Night Vision (IR LED): If left on "Auto" or "On," the infrared lights will hit the glass and bounce back, blinding the camera with a white glare. Turn OFF the Status LED: This prevents the small green or blue light from reflecting in the glass and appearing as a floating dot in your footage.

A: Hi Ash, The original Blink Mini (the compact 1080p plug-in model) is designed for indoor use only and is not officially rated for outdoor placement, even in a covered area.Product descriptions from Blink's site describe it strictly as an "indoor" camera, with no weather resistance or IP rating mentioned for outdoor exposure. The standard power adapter isn't built for outdoor conditions, and there's no official support for using it outside without risking damage from humidity, temperature swings, dust, or indirect moisture.If you were asking about the Blink Mini 2 1080p, it has an IP65 weather resistance rating and can be used outdoors (including in covered areas) when paired with Blink's official Weather Resistant Power Adapter (sold separately)Hope you have a great day.

A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about the Blink Mini 1080p Security Camera While you technically can place a Blink Mini (1st Gen) in a covered outdoor area, it is not recommended by the manufacturer and comes with several risks.
