Cam // Power Moves's video: Wyze Cam vs Blink Mini: Which Budget Cam Performs Best What About Blink XT2 Blink Indoor

Both offer similar video quality, but Wyze is the smarter buy because you don't need a subscription.

Blink Mini blows. Don’t buy it. While Wyze Cam is outstanding, and great for anyone who is in the market for an indoor camera. BLINK MINI - It’s $35. - When motion is detected in front of the camera, you’ll get an alert on your phone, but nothing is recorded. This isn’t useful! - New users will need Blink subscription’s plan ($30/year) to record the motion. Previous Blink owners are grandfathered-in and get free motion recordings. - The video and audio quality is about the same as Blink Indoor and Blink XT2, which is not very good, but fine for the price. - Blink’s night vision is the worst of any camera that I’ve ever tested. - Blink Mini’s base/stand/mount feels like a toy. - Just pay more money upfront and you’ll be happier. Blink Indoor ($79) and Blink XT2 ($99) are awesome. You get free 60-second cloud recordings for life and they’re battery-powered (unlike Blink Mini). WYZE CAM - It’s $25. - The stand is well-built and versatile. You can position it at almost any angle and it comes with an awesome magnetic mounting system. - Wyze records motion and stores it in the cloud for 14 days. Wyze will record for up to 12 seconds for free. - With Wyze’s subscription service for $18/year, it records until the motion is finished. The service is great, but I don’t recommend it because you don’t need it (see below). - Wyze’s killer feature: Wyze has a MicroSD card slot under the camera that lets it record 24/7 continuously. You can buy a 32 GB card for $9. - You can use timestamps from the 12-second clips and match it to the 24/7 recording to see the motion in its entirety. - The phone interface for scrubbing and finding the clips isn’t perfect, but we’re talking about a $34 investment (camera + MicroSD card). It doesn’t get better than that!
