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. Of course, ideally, you’ll want a camera that can capture clear, detailed videos as well, and the Blink Indoor is capable of that, too. It’s billed as a 1080p HD video camera, unlike its predecessor, the original Blink indoor camera that is only 720p. This rating is derived from our editorial team's research, hands-on product testing, and customer surveys. 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. We saw how Blink’s technology progressed, but if there’s one thing we really want Blink to improve, it’s their cameras’ night vision. When we tested Blink’s indoor-outdoor XT2 camera (now discontinued), we noted a problem with glare in our nighttime feed. Each time we ran through scenarios, we saw glares that produced reflections and at times distorted or obstructed some of the objects in the frame.
I started by installing the Sync Module. Following the on-screen prompts, I scanned the QR code on the module, created a system name, and plugged it in. After several seconds the LEDs began blinking blue and solid green, so I tapped Discover Device, connected the module to my Wi-Fi network, and let it update the firmware. Be alerted to what matters via your smartphone whenever motion is detected, or customise motion detection zones so you can see what matters most. The Indoor camera uses the same Blink Home Monitor mobile app for Android, Fire OS, and iOS devices as its Outdoor sibling. The home screen contains panels for each installed camera, a panel for the Sync Module, and Armed and Disarmed buttons. Each panel contains a still image of the camera’s field of view, a button for taking a snapshot, and a button for launching a live stream that you can view in full-screen mode by turning your phone sideways. A motion icon appears in the upper right corner of the panel when motion detection is enabled, right alongside the camera settings icon.In times when the level of activity in our space increased, the camera handled pretty well, using the same fluid video process we noted in the Blink Mini. This means, rather than pushing for the maximum video quality all the time, the Blink Indoor adjusted its resolution to keep videos moving smoothly.
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.” 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. Choose to save & share clips in the cloud with a free 30-day trial of the Blink Subscription Plan. After your trial, continue the subscription for a fee. Alternatively save motion clips & photos from up to 10 Blink cameras connected to the Blink Sync Module 2 locally in your home & view them through the Blink app or the computer by plugging in a USB flash drive (sold separately) for no add fee. 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. 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.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.
