Amazon Prime Day<\/a> typically brings some of the best prices of the year on all things Amazon \u2014 think gear like Echo speakers, Fire TV Sticks and, in this case, Blink cameras. A number of Blink packs are on sale for Prime Day, and one of the best deals is on a two-pack of Blink Mini 2<\/a> cams. You can grab the set for only $40 right now, which represents a $30 discount. This is the latest version of the camera, which was originally released earlier this year<\/a>. That\u2019s a pretty quick turnaround for this kind of massive discount.<\/p>\n 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\u2019s a built-in LED spotlight that allows for color night vision. The smartphone app displays live 1080p footage with two-way audio and there\u2019s a motion-detection algorithm that\u2019ll send out alerts.<\/p>\n Blink<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n 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 Blink Video Doorbell<\/a>. Nearly every aspect of the camera can be controlled via Alexa because, you know, Amazon.<\/p>\n 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>\n Also, for those with small homes who don\u2019t actually need two security cameras, you can pick up a single unit for $20<\/a>. All purchases include a mounting kit, a USB cable and a power adapter.<\/p>\n Your Prime Day Shopping Guide<\/em><\/strong>: See all of our<\/em> Prime Day<\/em><\/a> coverage.
