Blink Mini 2K+ Review
Our verdict
At street prices under $30, the Mini 2K+ is an impulse buy that delivers real 2K video, a built-in siren, and Alexa integration. You'll want the Sync Module for local storage or accept the ~$4/month plan for cloud clips.

What we like
- 2K video at a ~$30 street price
- Built-in siren
