Can’t decide between one or the other model or set? Below we will explain to you what the individual models are suitable for and how they differ from each other.

This is how the Blink cameras differ

Blink offers different camera models, all of which can be controlled and operated via your cell phone. This allows the indoor and outdoor areas to be monitored to protect against burglars, for example. The motion detector can also send a warning to the owner in the event of unauthorized entry.

The portfolio is divided into four areas:

• Blink Mini: The Blink Mini is the manufacturer’s cheapest variant. It is intended for indoor use and records at 1080p. It can be connected to the smartphone to monitor specific areas in the house. Unlike the other models, the Blink Mini must be connected to a power source and does not use batteries. In the “Pan-Tilt” model variant, the camera can be panned and tilted remotely to keep larger areas in view.
• Blink Indoor: Compared to Blink Mini, the Blink Indoor is wireless and powered by a battery. According to Amazon, the battery life is two years. Although the design of the Blink Indoor is a little more elegant and adapts better to the environment, the resolution of the camera remains the same.
• Blink Outdoor: Blink Outdoor is very similar in design to Blink Indoor. The only real difference here is a provision to mount the camera on the outside wall and complete weather resistance. You can charge it using a separately available solar panel, and the camera is also available with an optional floodlight module.
• Blink Video Doorbell: The Blink Video Doorbell is a smart doorbell with a camera, which can also be connected to the smart home.

Below we will clearly list the differences between the cameras.

Do you want to know more? We have tested both the Blink indoor cameras and we will introduce you to the entire system there. We tested the Blink Outdoor separately, you can find all the details in the linked article.

Installation is easy and possible without a specialist

Installing Blink surveillance cameras is very easy in most cases. The camera simply needs to be connected to your smartphone via WiFi and then set up or attached to a house wall using screws or glue. Depending on the model, the WiFi surveillance cameras draw power from a rechargeable battery or batteries. Depending on the model, the battery life is up to two years. In particular, devices that are used indoors require a constant power connection via USB or DC cable.

This is what you need to pay attention to during installation

In Germany there are strict guidelines regarding the protection of personal rights and personal data. When installing your surveillance camera outdoors, you must ensure that as private individuals you are only allowed to record your own property. Monitoring a public sidewalk, street or neighboring property is not permitted. It must also be clearly signposted that a specific area is being monitored.

Save recordings only with accessories or subscription

If you want to save the video recordings from the cameras, you have to spend additional money. Although all devices offer the option of saving the video material on local storage, you need an additional device called “Blink Sync Module 2”. It costs 35 euros. The module is already included in some sets.

Alternatively, you can also store the recordings in the cloud. However, you have to take out a subscription for the cloud service. This costs either 3 euros per camera or 10 euros per month for an unlimited number of cameras. You can also test the Blink subscription for free for 30 days.

What to do if the Blink camera flashes red?

If you see a red flashing light on your Amazon Blink camera, there is usually no reason to worry. The meaning of the flashing light differs depending on the model, so in the linked article we have put together an overview of what the light means and how you can solve the problem.
