Blink Mini 2 vs TP-Link Kasa EC70

The Blink Mini 2 wins overall on ratings, weather resistance with an adapter, color night vision, its spotlight and a siren. The TP-Link Kasa EC70 is cheaper, has a 2-year warranty, pans and tilts and records 24/7 to microSD.

Movement against image quality and durability. The Kasa EC70 rotates to cover a room and records continuously to a card, while the Blink Mini 2 stays fixed but sees in color at night, includes a siren and can be used outdoors.

The TP-Link Kasa EC70 keeps 24/7 and event history on a microSD card for free, though its person alerts need a plan. The Blink Mini 2 also supports microSD through a Sync Module, but its clip history and person alerts require a Blink subscription.

Neither is ideal here. The TP-Link Kasa EC70 supports Google Home and Alexa only, and the Blink Mini 2 supports Alexa and IFTTT, so neither offers direct Home Assistant integration or RTSP.

Buy the Blink Mini 2 if you want color night vision, a spotlight and a siren in an Alexa household, with the option to mount the camera outside using the weather-resistant adapter.

Buy the TP-Link Kasa EC70 if you want cheap indoor coverage that pans and tilts across a room, with free 24/7 recording to microSD, customizable motion zones, Google Home and Alexa support and a 2-year warranty.
