https://www.engadget.com/amazon-prime-day/">Amazon Prime Day[/url] is right around the corner, as it officially starts on July 16. However, some of the best early Prime Day deals are already wafting in like a nice summer breeze. Case in point? You can now pick up a pair of Blink Mini 2 security cameras for $40, which is a discount of 43 percent. This is the latest version of the camera, <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="
https://www.engadget.com/blinks-new-mini-2-offers-a-built-in-spotlight-and-person-detection-for-40-130055057.html">which was originally released earlier this year[/url]. That’s a pretty quick turnaround for this kind of massive discount.</p>
<p>For the uninitiated, the Blink Mini 2 is a tiny security camera with a surprising amount of tech. The image quality has been massively improved over the original model and there’s a built-in LED spotlight that allows for color night vision. The smartphone app displays live 1080p footage with two-way audio and there’s a motion-detection algorithm that’ll send out alerts.</p> <span id="end-legacy-contents"></span>

<p>These cameras are great for use inside of the home, but they can handle outside use so long as you purchase the weather-resistant power adapter. You can also use the Mini 2 with other Blink products for a comprehensive home security system. For instance, these cameras can be used as a plug-in chime for the <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="

<p>There are plenty more features available with these cameras, but that leads to the one downside. Many of them are paywalled behind a monthly subscription. You can stream live video for up to 90 minutes, get smart notifications, share clips and store clips for up to 30 days. All of these features require a Blink subscription plan, starting at $3 per month. You do get a 30-day trial with this purchase.</p>
<p>Also, for those with small homes who don’t actually need two security cameras, you can <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:4;pos:1" href="
