- Is the Blink Mini 2K better than the original Blink Mini?
- Yes. It doubles the resolution to 2K, adds color night vision and a wider view, and keeps the same plug-in design. The original is only worth it if you find it much cheaper.

- You can watch live view and get motion alerts without one. Saving clips, person detection and cloud history require a Blink subscription, and local storage is not supported.

- Does it work with Alexa?
- Yes. You can ask an Echo Show to show the live feed and use Alexa routines to trigger recording. It does not work with Google Home or Apple HomeKit.
