That’s a massive 46 percent discount on its street price, almost matching its one-time Prime Day low of $30.99. It’s just a few bucks more right now, and this is the lowest its been if you ignore Prime Day.
If you’re looking to buy an indoor security camera, this is a great deal to chomp on. Here’s why.
What the Blink Mini 2K+ offers
The Blink Mini 2K+ is the newest model in this line of compact indoor security cameras. It records video in upgraded 1440p (2K) and also features built-in infrared night vision, so you can see what’s happening in your home even in the dark. With 110 degrees field of view, it can capture a wide angle no matter where you point it.
Nifty features include motion detection with custom detection zones (you’ll get a phone notification whenever movement is spotted), two-way audio (you can hear what’s happening in front of the camera and speak to whoever’s there), and it can be used as a doorbell chime in conjunction with a Blink Video Doorbell (sold separately).
Setup is straightforward. Just plug it into a nearby outlet, connect it to your Wi-Fi network, and run through the Blink app. To mount, you can either affix it to the wall or use a stable magnetic stand on shelves, tables, and desks. The package includes two Blink Mini 2K+ cameras, two mounting kits, two USB cables, and two power adapters.
The one big caveat is video storage. If you want to store locally, you need either a Blink Sync Module 2 (for flash drives) or a Blink Sync Module XR+ (for microSD cards), both of which are sold separately. Or you can store on the cloud with a Blink Subscription Plan, which starts at $3.99/month or $39.99/year. (A free 30-day trial is included with this 2-pack.)
Why this deal is worth it
This deal price is close to the lowest ever for the Blink Mini 2K+ 2-pack, with it only ever being lower on Prime Day. It’s lowest that all other past deal prices, making it a great opportunity if you want to level up your home with two indoor security cameras.
With an average rating of 4.4 across 6,000+ reviews, these cameras are generally well-received by its users. Users praise its video quality during both day and night, its wide angle view, its ease of setup, and its overall value. If there’s criticism levied against it, it’s for the lack of built-in local storage and a spotty Wi-Fi connection for some users.
