Data from the official Blink and Wyze sites.
2026 verdict
The Wyze Cam OG wins on price, alerts and customizable motion zones against the Blink Mini 2, making it the better value of these two budget cameras.
It is IP65 sealed for genuine outdoor use rather than needing a special adapter, records to microSD with 24/7 and offline history at no cost, offers color night vision with a built-in spotlight, supports motion zones, and works with Google Home, Alexa, Home Assistant and IFTTT rather than Alexa alone. The Blink Mini 2 is better rated and includes a siren the Wyze lacks, along with its own spotlight, color night vision and weather resistance with the outdoor adapter, but clip history and person alerts sit behind a Blink subscription. Wyze also charges for people, package, vehicle and face detection. Buy the Wyze Cam OG for free local recording and wider platform support, and the Blink Mini 2 if you want a siren and Blink's simplicity in an Alexa home.
