Mini 2 camera ships with a camera mount along with two screws and an indoor power adapter in the box. Make sure to remove its protective covering prior to using the camera.
Note: Make sure the cable reaches your Mini 2 camera without being stretched and refer to the following installation instructions.
Depending on the orientation of where the camera will be located, use one of the two mounting points:
- The vertical mounting point (for walls or other vertical surfaces) is located below the USB port at the rear of the camera.
- The horizontal mounting point (for flat surfaces and ceilings) is located at the bottom of the unit.
Mounting Blink Mini 2 Camera
- Select a location to mount your camera. When you’ve decided where it will go, remove the top cover from the mount and use the included screws to secure the mount to your surface. Then reattach the top cover by rotating it to align with the keyed slot and notches on the mount until it can be securely connected down into place without resistance.
Proper camera placement is important for good image quality. Mini 2 cameras have been used to detect motion through glass. Remember, this is not the most accurate way to detect motion. When using your Mini 2 through glass, make sure to turn off the Recording LED and the Night Vision IR LED to prevent glare from reflected light. Learn about camera placement.
- After the mount has been secured, press your Mini 2 onto the mounting point. It will click into place as the camera is secured.
- Plug the included indoor or Blink Weather-Resistant Power Adapter (sold separately) cable into the USB port in the back of Mini 2 and aim the camera.
- If using the included indoor power cable, plug the other end into the power supply and then plug the power supply into your wall socket.
When using the Blink Weather-Resistant Power Adapter (sold separately), you can use the included mounting kit which comes with screws, anchors and cable clips to attach it to a wall. Then plug the other end directly into a socket.
You can test the camera’s orientation by using Live View in the Blink app.
Optional: Flipping video
If you want to mount Mini 2 onto a ceiling or an overhead surface, you may need to flip the camera’s video so it outputs properly.
You can make this change in the Blink app by tapping Morein the lower right of the device thumbnail image. Then select Device Settings > Video and Photo and tap Flip Video to turn on this setting.
