Blink
The Blink Mini 2 is our top pick for the best budget security camera and is now available at a record low price as part of a broader sale on Blink gear.
We consider the Blink Mini 2 to be the best budget security camera available. It is a webcam-style camera that can be adjusted to various angles and is weather-resistant, allowing for outdoor placement with a special power adapter. The camera captures decent images, particularly in infrared nighttime view, and features a built-in LED spotlight. As Blink is an Amazon company, the Mini 2 seamlessly integrates with the Alexa ecosystem, but requires a Blink account for use. You can view images captured by the Mini 2 via the Alexa app on an Echo Show, Fire Tablet, or Fire TV, but not on iOS or Android devices, which require the Blink app. Additional features such as cloud storage and people and pet detection are available with a Blink Subscription, starting at $3 per month for one camera or $10 per month for multiple cameras.
Elsewhere in the sale, a five-pack of the Blink Outdoor 4 cameras is available for half off at $200, making it our top recommendation for the best security camera for Alexa users. Having five of these cameras should be sufficient for many users to monitor their entire property.
