Today we are unboxing the Blink Mini Security Camera. I got this camera because my old Amazon Cloud Cam is being discontinued and Amazon sent me a Blink Mini as a replacement.
I understand Amazon discontinuing the Cloud Cam Subscription Service/Cloud Storage ... but why not leave the App and allow Users to still use the cameras as monitors? I have Ring, and getting more Ring cameras would be easy to integrate, but I have no Blink. Anyone try calling Amazon and seeing if they can get Ring instead or maybe just a Trade-In credit?
@@javatheboxer I have held off ordering the Blink Minis hoping that Amazon would offer Rings or a credit, but I am not seeing that on any websites/chat. I called Amazon for help and they transferred me to Blink?!?! Blink could not help, but were very understanding. Nice to know Blink has good Customer Support! I am still searching for uses of these old Cloud Cams I hate e-waste, especailly on something that is perfectly good.

I agree!! My Amazon Cloud Cams are now useless. I am hoping there is a way to hack them back to use. If I find out how, I will make a video.
