<p><a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/amazons-blink-mini-camera-announcement-183048551.html">Blink[/url] is once again attempting to challenge conventional wisdom about how good a $40 security camera can be. 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&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2RwL0IwQ1JaQzJSOTQ_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy1wLXYtOGwtMjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjYxNjgxNDliLTk1M2QtNDhmZC1iYjFkLTYyZTAzNDhlMTNlOSJ9&amp;signature=AQAAAW2jbggwOHJbguf36dCPSsGEQFKb_drjYa5d_Wgf_-1v&amp;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>

<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>
