Get a waterproof Blink Mini 2 security camera for only $20 before October Prime Day | ZDNET

Cohn explained that Blink made significant improvements to the Mini 2's video quality, increasing the field-of-view from 110 to 143 degrees for more coverage, increasing the sensor's lowlight capability, and improving the dynamic range. Since my home relies on Amazon's Alexa, I appreciate that the Blink Mini 2 is quicker to connect to multiple Echo Shows than the Wyze camera, showing me what's happening in the sunroom. After testing the Blink Mini 2, I spoke to Blink's head of product, Jonathan Cohn, to discuss the ins and outs of the new security camera. Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sales event is coming up in a few days and many deals are already available, including the 50% off Blink Mini 2 for $20, and with an outdoor adapter for only $30. Like the Blink Outdoor 4, the Blink Mini 2 can notify you when a person has been detected, ignoring all other motion powered by the Blink's silicon. Using proprietary silicon and design ensures Blink can guarantee the entire privacy and security experience from when the light enters the lens to the recorded video clips, Cohn added. Widely known as an affordable indoor camera (you can often buy two for $30 during Amazon sales events), the Blink Mini is a compact plug-in camera that can be installed anywhere inside or outside your home. The older Blink Mini has two-way audio, 1080p video resolution, Amazon Alexa integration, and works as a chime for the Blink video doorbell. Though the Blink Mini and Mini 2 feature 1080p HD resolution video recording, the difference in the recorded clips is noticeable. The new Blink Mini 2 has all these features, plus a weather-resistant indoor and outdoor construction, person detection, and a spotlight. The newest version of the Blink Mini features key improvements that make it worthy even for non-budget shoppers, but it's especially attractive with this October Prime Day deal at 50% off. "Blink makes its chip and uses the chip on our cameras, which means we own the end-to-end experience and design of our camera," Cohn explained. I've been testing the Blink Mini 2 for the past week and noticed some big changes over the original Blink Mini, which I've had for almost two years.
