It’s never been easier to keep an eye on your kids and/or pets at home while you’re away, all thanks to affordable home security cameras. And they’re even more affordable when you can catch a good sale, like today’s massive 55% price drop on the Blink Mini 2. Amazon is selling it for just $17.99 (was $39.99), a new all-time lowest price! The Blink Mini 2 captures sharp 1080p video, works in daylight and darkness with its built-in LED spotlight, in full color even during the night. You can view the live feed via your phone, and you can even chat with whoever’s on the other end with two-way audio. This compact security camera is perfect for any room, as long as you’re able to place it near an outlet. (It comes with a power adapter and 6-foot USB-C cable.) The best part, if you ask me, is that you can even use it outdoors. The Blink Mini 2 is waterproof and weather-resistant, so you can mount it to a wall and get an exterior view. Note, however, that you’ll need a Blink Weather Resistant Power Adapter if you’re going to use it outside (sold separately). Other handy features include motion detection with real-time alerts and integration with Alexa and Echo devices. The Blink Mini 2 is already a pretty good value at full price, but now it’s an insane value with this 55% discount. Get it for just $17.99 on Amazon while you still can! Or maybe even grab a few and set them up around your home for maximum peace of mind. An indoor/outdoor 1080p Blink security cam for only $18? That`s a deal!Buy now on Amazon Read...
