Blink's UK FAQ for the Mini 2 lists Alexa through the Blink SmartHome skill, with live view and arming by voice. The camera plugs into a 5 V USB adapter on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and needs no Sync Module. Cloud storage (30 days in the UK) and person detection need a Blink plan; a Sync Module 2 and USB drive give local storage. Google Home, Apple Home and Home Assistant aren't confirmed.

• Radio: 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n only; the FAQ says it needs an always-on Wi-Fi connection.
• Hub: Blink says the Mini 2 doesn't need a Sync Module; a Sync Module 2 is only needed for local storage.
• Local control: Blink does not state whether any control works without its cloud.
• Type: Sold as a plug-in camera; Blink says it can go outdoors (IP65, -20 to 45 C) with the separately sold Weather-Resistant Power Adapter.
• Power: 5 V, 1 A USB power through the included adapter and 2 m USB-C cable; the spec page rates it 7.5 W. The Weather-Resistant adapter (4 m cable) is sold separately.
• Local recording: Only with a Sync Module 2 in the system and a USB flash drive; both sold separately.
• Paid plan needed for: Blink says a plan gives 30 days of cloud storage in the UK; person detection and Extended Live View (up to 90 minutes) also need one. Without a plan, live view lasts 60 seconds, extendable to five minutes.
