That was just for the camera itself, though. The Blink Indoor, like most of Blink’s cameras, requires a Sync Module 2. This tile-shaped device roughly the same size as the camera functions as a hub that bridges the camera’s connection to your Wi-Fi router. And unlike the camera, the Sync Module needs to be plugged in. Tap the cameras settings icon to monitor battery life and the current indoor temperature, set temperature alert thresholds, enable motion detection and set motion zones and sensitivity levels, configure video clip length, and adjust video quality and audio settings. Here you can also enable the Photo Capture feature and update the camera’s firmware. Here’s what you’re going to pay for a Blink Indoor, as well as information on Blink’s current camera lineup.

Tapping the Sync Module panel takes you to a screen where you can view local storage information and change your Wi-Fi settings. Tapping the Armed button enables motion detection and motion-triggered video recording features, and the Disarmed button disables them. Following this initial setup you’re good to go, and can view live feeds and mess around with the settings, such as changing the name of the camera to something that makes more sense than the nonsensical default numbers you’re given. You can also tweak the aforementioned motion detection zones, selecting areas of a grid in which motion will be ignored. As mentioned, this is something you’re probably less likely to do in an indoor camera, but the option is available nonetheless. You can also adjust the sensitivity of the motion detection, as well as the, retrigger time, in addition to adjusting the length of recorded clips, with 30 seconds being the maximum. The Blink Indoor’s standout feature is it's up to two-year battery life, supplied by a humble pair of included AA batteries, as we've already mentioned. While the actual time will vary depending on how often motion is detected and how regularly you use its live view feature, after a few months with the Blink Indoor in our home, we see no reason why it can’t live up to its stamina-centric claims.

Be alerted to what matters via your smartphone whenever motion is detected, or customise motion detection zones so you can see what matters most. Ooze has made a name for itself in cannabis vaping with a wide range of quality products. One that caught my attention is the Ooze Beacon dab pen. There’s also the usual levels of distortion around the outer edge of the picture as a result of the wide-angle lens, but that’s to be expected and poses no real annoyance. Overall, the day and night performance of the Blink Indoor is impressive, letting you relax in the knowledge that everything is being captured in more than enough detail to be useful. Even an indoor camera like the Sight 180C from Zmodo, which we tested as part of our full Zmodo camera review, didn’t see very well at night, even though it’s literally called “sight.” In our head-to-head comparison of Blink and Ring, we highlighted how many of Blink’s features can be customized based on the user needs. The Blink Home Monitoring app, where you’re going to be spending most of your time setting up and tweaking your Blink Indoor, allows you to tailor everything from how sensitive the cameras motion detection is to mapping out zones within the frame to changing the length of our video clips from 60 seconds down to 5. Also worth mentioning was how easy the app is to use, and how it was clearly designed with the end user in mind. Bonus points for Blink, there.

You’ll recall, though, that our Blink Mini is wired. So if you’re looking for a camera you can put anywhere, without worrying about proximity to power outlets, we’d have to say Blink Indoor wins out over its mini-me. Fortune Business Insights.

Despite this, things remain clear, though objects further away do lose some detail. See, hear and speak to people and pets in your home through your smartphone with Blink Mini's live view and two-way audio features.Clearly, the Blink Indoor is not for everybody. It’s not the most high-tech camera around, as we saw when we compared it to the Arlo Essential Spotlight. It also has clear downsides, like its spotty night vision. First, let’s talk about size. Blink Indoor is definitely considered a small camera, standing at around 2.7 inches, with a flat, lightweight body and a detachable stand. Later in the year, when we met Blink Outdoor, we were keen to test this feature once again. An outdoor camera isn’t worth much to us if it doesn’t work well at night, as criminals often wait for the cover of night to strike. In case we haven’t made it clear yet, we’re super familiar with Blink. We tested the first generation Blink indoor camera when it came out in 2014, and since then, we’ve tested almost every new device from Blink that’s hit the market. We tested the Blink XT and XT2, both of which were indoor/outdoor models, the Blink Mini, and the Blink Outdoor.
