Blink deals are back for Memorial Day, making it a good time to stock up on security cameras if you have an existing system or try out one of our favorites for the first time. A particularly great deal is on a two-pack of Blink Mini 2 wired security cams, which you can grab for just $38.
The Blink Mini 2 made our list of the best security cameras, and we gave it kudos for being a great option for the budget-conscious. These are small cameras that are easy to place just about anywhere. You can adjust the head to accommodate a wide variety of angles and we found the setup to be painless and quick.
The image quality is decent, though not astounding. The bright spots can get a bit blown out, but the camera gets the job done. We found that it was particularly useful at night, thanks to the infrared view and the spotlight. This model also offers the ability to set privacy zones and it can double as a doorbell chime if you happen to have a Blink Video Doorbell installed.
The camera is weather resistant, so it works outside. It also integrates with Alexa, which makes sense as Amazon owns Blink. Alexa can be used to adjust settings, arm the camera and more.
There's no location detection here, so it can't automatically arm the device when you leave the house. This has to be done manually. Also, it doesn't offer any cloud storage unless you pony up for a Blink subscription. A basic subscription for one camera costs $3 per month.
Memorial Day sales also include other Blink bundles. If you're setting up a Blink system for the first time, you can grab a one-camera Blink Outdoor 4 system for half off, or only $50. That 50-percent discount is also available on multi-camera systems, including an expansive five-camera bundle, which is down to $200.
