What owners single out
Motion detection unreliability is the weakest aspect for buyers, directly matching video reviewers' concerns about missed alerts and inconsistent sensitivity.
In their words
“Second order from this shop and my 3rd Blink CCTV—still very satisfied. The Blink Mini is easy to set up, has clear video (day and night), and reliable motion alerts. Works great for basic home monitoring. Item arrived well-packed and complete. Fast delivery too. Highly recommended”
