Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days<\/a> is here, and you can save on all sorts of tech this time around. A mainstay of Prime Day sales, a pair of Blink Mini 2<\/a> cameras is on sale for only $35. That’s 50 percent off, a record low and less than what you’d usually pay for one. It’s also Engadget’s pick for the best budget security camera<\/a>.<\/p>\n This budget-friend, wired camera is well-suited for nighttime video: It has a built-in LED spotlight, color night vision and a low-light sensor. Day or night, it records in sharp 1080p resolution. It also has a wider field of view than its predecessor.<\/p>\n Blink<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The Blink Mini 2 is primarily designed for indoor use. But you can use it outdoors, too. You’ll just need to fork over $10 for a weather-resistant adapter<\/a>. Wherever you use the camera, it works with Alexa and supports two-way audio. (“Hello, doggy, I’ll be home soon.”)<\/p>\n It also supports person detection. (That’s a neat feature that differentiates between people and other types of movement.) However, the feature requires a Blink Subscription Plan<\/a>. They start at $3 per month or $30 per year for one device.<\/p>\n The camera is available in black or white. Both colors are available for the $35 Prime Day deal, but they can’t be mixed unless you buy each separately. It’s worth noting that this deal is open to anyone \u2014 no Prime subscription necessary. Amazon recently announced an upgraded version<\/a> of this camera that supports 2K video, but it won’t be available until later in October.<\/p>\n You can also save on a bunch of other Blink (and Ring) security gear<\/a> for Prime Day. The Blink Outdoor 4 cameras are some of our favorites, and most configurations are on sale for Prime Day, including bundles like this three-camera system<\/a> that’s 61 percent off.<\/p>\n![\"Image](\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/uu\/api\/res\/1.2\/LHyeC1_we6Gl4dYqhpGcBQ--~B\/Zmk9c3RyaW07aD03MjA7dz0xMjgwO2FwcGlkPXl0YWNoeW9u\/https:\/\/media-mbst-pub-ue1.s3.amazonaws.com\/creatr-uploaded-images\/2025-09\/26f9ee70-9981-11f0-b6fc-19c4fcf21445\")
