Q: Will the night vision mode record with out the spotlight? Using indoors and would prefer to not have the spotlight come on & disturb sleep.
A: Yes if it's not enabled it won't shine in setting disable it
submitted byJ - 1 month agoA: Hi Catmom, thank you for reaching out about the Blink Mini 2. To disable the spotlight on a Blink Mini 2, open the Blink app, go to the camera settings, navigate to "Lighting Settings", and then toggle "Motion Activation" to "Off" - this will prevent the spotlight from turning on automatically when motion is detected; you can also manually turn the spotlight off by tapping the "More" button on the camera thumbnail in the app and selecting the light icon. Hope this helps. Happy Holidays!

Q: Can you use this camera without a subscription?
A: Hello Harley and thank you for your question! There are many ways to view video on the Blink Mini 2. The first is through a Blink subscription, which offers cloud based storage at a monthly cost to the user. The second option is to purchase a Sync Module, which allows users to insert a USB drive and watch clips through local storage. The last option is to view the feed as a "Live Only", which does not record clips and offers no playback to the user. Hope this helps! Have a great day!
submitted byAmazon Devices Customer Support - 4 months agoBrand expertA: Hello there! There is a subscription for our cloud storage, but customers are not required to use it. Another storage option is local storage, activated by plugging a USB flash drive into a Sync Module 2. Local storage has no recurring fee to use the feature. Either of these storage options will let you view clips remotely from your phone. Without a storage system for your clips your system will be able to detect motion, notify you of the motion, and live view.

These include: - Blink Outdoor: A battery-powered outdoor camera - Blink Indoor: A battery-powered indoor camera These Blink wireless cameras can be placed anywhere without needing to be plugged in, as they run on battery power. The batteries in these cameras typically last for several months before needing to be replaced or recharged.
