Blink Mini 2K+ indoor camera falls to $16 in early Black Friday sale

Amazon is selling the newest Blink Mini 2K+ indoor security camera for about $16 in an early Black Friday sale, according to reports from 9to5Toys and Slickdeals. 9to5Toys lists the regular price as $40, a discount of 60 percent.

Slickdeals reports the Amazon listing at $15.99 for the newest model. Shipping is free with Prime or on orders of $35 or more. It also notes an earlier front-page deal at $17.

The camera is a plug-in indoor model. It sends motion-detection alerts when you are away from home. 9to5Toys says you do not really need a subscription to use it. Neither outlet gives an end date for the offer.

The two reports show slightly different prices, $16 and $15.99. The gap is small. Stock levels and the exact end date of the sale are not stated in either source.

For readers, this is a low-cost way to add a basic indoor camera to a smart home. Check the final price at checkout, because early Black Friday prices can change quickly. Compare the camera's features with your own needs before buying, especially if you plan to store video in the cloud.
