The brand’s latest addition, the Blink Mini is a very compact indoor surveillance camera. With characteristics that seem quite basic, it catches the eye with a reduced price (€39.99). A good deal ?
The Blink Mini manages to stand out thanks to its simple installation and its use suitable for novices. It also provides good image quality at night. However, there are a few false notes that darken the picture: the lack of local storage and the 30-second limit imposed on recorded sequences are regrettable. For almost the same price and performance, theEZVIZ C6N 1080p offers 360° surveillance thanks to its motorized head.
Points forts
- Compact format, discreet camera.
- Quick and extremely simple installation.
- Many settings offered in the application.
- Good night image quality.
Weak points
- No local storage.
- No private mode.
- Duration of clips up to 30 seconds.
- Reset between recordings of 10 seconds minimum.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
An alternative
The EZVIZ C6N surveillance camera multiplies the good points thanks to its 360° swivel head. Movement tracking allows it, for example, to automatically follow an individual in its field. It also leaves the choice to the user of the place of storage (locally or on the cloud). Its image quality is good, mainly in good light conditions. Finally, this camera does not really bring any significant change compared to its predecessor, the C6C 1080p which we prefer for its better image quality in night mode.
