A budget plug-in indoor camera that ties you to Amazon's cloud. Fine as a cheap second pair of eyes, not a camera to build a local security setup around.
What can Home Assistant control on the Blink Mini 2K+ Indoor Camera?
| Control | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Motion detection | Switch | Enable or disable motion alerts for the camera |
| Motion | Binary sensor | Triggered when the camera detects movement |
| Snapshot | Camera image | Still image refreshed from the cloud, not a live stream |
Home Assistant's built-in Blink integration polls Amazon's Blink cloud, so it needs internet and your Blink login (with two-factor). You get arm/disarm, motion detection and snapshots; there is no RTSP or local stream, and live view is not available in HA. Cloud video storage needs a Blink subscription, though local storage works with a Sync Module.
