The Amazon-owned company is today announcing the <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQ1JaQzJSOTQ_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy1wLXYtOGwtMjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjYxNjgxNDliLTk1M2QtNDhmZC1iYjFkLTYyZTAzNDhlMTNlOSJ9&signature=AQAAAW2jbggwOHJbguf36dCPSsGEQFKb_drjYa5d_Wgf_-1v&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0CRZC2R94" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRZC2R94">Blink Mini 2[/url], which crams in plenty more smart features into that relatively tiny body. Headline features include better image quality day and night, as well as a built-in LED spotlight for color night vision.</p> <figure><img src="https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2024-03/b99a5880-e11f-11ee-af69-11a8f7ce9fd2" data-crop-orig-src="https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2024-03/b99a5880-e11f-11ee-af69-11a8f7ce9fd2" style="height:720px;width:1200px;" alt="Image of a Blink Mini 2 that's comically small compared to the wooden table and vase it's on and next to." data-uuid="56066588-e0c4-3f2c-b6d0-39b12a4ced9f"><figcaption></figcaption><div class="photo-credit">Blink</div></figure> <p>Paired with Blink’s custom system-on-chip, the Mini 2 will also offer smart notifications and person detection. Those features will require a Blink subscription which, for $3 a month, will get you cloud recording, 60 days of video history and live streaming. You’ll also need to pony up some more to use the Mini 2 outside — $49.98 will get you the camera and the necessary weather proof power adapter.</p> <span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p><a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQ1JaQzJSOTQ_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy1wLXYtOGwtMjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjYxNjgxNDliLTk1M2QtNDhmZC1iYjFkLTYyZTAzNDhlMTNlOSJ9&signature=AQAAAW2jbggwOHJbguf36dCPSsGEQFKb_drjYa5d_Wgf_-1v&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB0CRZC2R94" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRZC2R94">The Blink Mini 2 is available today in the US and Canada[/url].</p> <p><core-commerce id="95282062aa6d479e99a7633b88391d4a" data-type="product-list"></core-commerce></p> <p></p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/blinks-new-mini-2-offers-a-built-in-spotlight-and-person-detection-for-40-130055057.html?src=rss Source: Blink's new Mini 2 offers a built-in spotlight and person detection for $40 (https://www.engadget.com/blinks-new-mini-2-offers-a-built-in-spotlight-and-person-detection-for-40-130055057.html?src=rss) |
