At 50% off, the Blink Mini 2 is a great first home security camera

Listen. Being able to keep an eye on your home when you’re away can be a huge weight off your shoulders, especially if you have kids or pets. But who wants to shell out tons of cash for a simple home camera feed? Well, with this awesome deal, you won’t have to.

The super-tiny, super-cute Blink Mini 2 is on sale for half price on Amazon, bringing the cost down from its original $40 to just $20. You can literally buy peace of mind for the price of restaurant entree.

While I don’t have the Blink Mini 2 myself, I do have a very similar home security cam with nearly identical features: motion detection, two-way audio, and 1080p HD video. I use it to check in on my pets and see if they’re doing anything they shouldn’t be, like climbing over the new couch or chewing on my slippers. Plus, I often miss them when I’m away and love being able to check in whenever I want.

But the Blink Mini 2 also has a few features I don’t have, like an LED spotlight. Yes, you read that right. This tiny camera has a built-in LED spotlight that helps put some color into its night-view footage. Also, if you have a Blink Video Doorbell (sold separately), the Mini 2 can also act as a chime for when people ring your doorbell. You can also set up the Mini 2 for outdoor surveillance because it’s weather-resistant, but you’ll need a Blink Weather Resistant Power Adapter (sold separately) for that.

With a Blink subscription plan, you can also unlock smart notifications, store footage in the cloud, and share clips with others. Plans start at $3/month ($30/year) for a single device and go up to $10/month ($100/year) for unlimited devices.

If you don’t have a home security camera, then the Blink Mini 2 for 50% off on Amazon is one of the best ways to get started. And since you’re here, let me remind you that Amazon’s Spring Sale 2025 is coming soon and ready to hit you with even more great discounts!
