Amazon’s Blink Mini is a budget 1080p home security camera with motion detection and night vision

How much do you think a home security camera with 1080p HD resolution, infrared HD night vision, motion detection, and two-way audio would set you back? Whatever figure just popped into your head, I can guarantee you it’s actually significantly less. That’s because Amazon has just rolled out a new compact, indoor security cam called the Blink Mini that retails for just £34.99. Working in tandem with the Blink Home Monitor app, the affordable plug-in camera offers a high-definition live view of your home, and will allow you to chat with whoever’s in the house – including your adorable pets – in real-time. It also supports local or cloud video storage via the Blink Sync Module or Blink cloud subscription plan, and can be paired with an Alexa-enabled device. Talk about bells and whistles.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
