Overview
Blink Mini camera — compact indoor/outdoor-capable camera (verify rating) for rooms, entries, and tight spaces on Blink systems.
Blink cameras and doorbells deliver motion alerts, Live View, and optional clip recording through the Blink app. Most models require a Sync Module 2 or XR on the same account. Clip storage may use cloud subscription, local hub storage, or both depending on settings.

What This Device Does Well
Delivers motion detection, alerts, and Live View when paired to a healthy Sync Module and Wi-Fi path.
Before You Service or Replace One
- Exact SKU on label — Outdoor 4 vs 2K+ vs legacy mount patterns differ.
- Sync Module online in app before blaming camera hardware.
- Battery type — lithium AA where specified; extension packs are model-specific.
- Subscription — cloud clip history requires active Blink plan where offered.
- Wi-Fi at mount — not just at router location.

Replacement guidance
- Match camera generation (Outdoor 4, 2K+, XT, etc.) before ordering mounts or batteries.
- Remove failed device in app before adding replacement — serial numbers do not transfer.
- Document system name and placement in app for service handoff.
- Re-test Live View and motion after any swap.
