TechRadar Verdict
The Blink Mini 2 is a perfectly adequate low-cost home security camera.
The activity and privacy zones did their job well.
In terms of performance, the Blink Mini 2 didnt bowl me over.
The video and audio quality were disappointing, but not bad considering how cheap the hardware is.
The best picture quality setting fared better, with little pixelation and a slight improvement to the graininess.
For the most part, motion detection and person detection worked well.
Additionally, it offers person detection and can be used outdoors, but additional purchases are required.
So while these are good features, privacy cannot be guaranteed if others can enter the camera feed.
In my opinion, the process required to get to the cameras parameters is somewhat inefficient.
The audio quality left me unimpressed.
The activity zone area selection was even more basic, with an 8x8 grid of selectable rectangles.
My two Maine-Coon-cross cats were the perfect test subjects for this experiment.
It was really easy for me to share recorded videos.
Unfortunately, though, the first time I did this it caused the app to fall over.
Im pleased to say I didnt experience any further issues sharing clips after this occasion, though.
Should I buy the Blink Mini 2?
