I use a tiny Blink camera to spy on my pets. It's only $15 during Prime Day.
SAVE $15: The Blink Mini security camera is on sale for just $14.99 during Amazon Prime Day. That's half off its usual price of $29.99 and its biggest discount to date.
I bought Amazon's original Blink Mini indoor security camera years ago in a moment of desperation: Princess, my elderly fantail goldfish, fell ill right before I had to go out of town for a week. I needed to be able to check in on her from afar, so I found the Blink Mini in stock at a nearby Target — it was the cheapest option there — and zipped over to buy it within minutes. As an anxious pet owner, it was some of the best money I've ever spent. (Don't worry, Princess made a full recovery.)
Nowadays, my Blink Mini clocks in under far less stressful circumstances. I've plugged it in when I run errands to see what my dog Pierogi does when no one's home. (Sleep.) I've booted it up to find out which phrases my parrot Melon practices saying when I leave the room — he's shy. ("Are you a good baby?" is a recent favorite.) I can pull up its feed in seconds no matter where I am; the Blink Mini connects right to my phone via the Blink Home Monitor app. It also has clear two-way audio so I can remind my critters that they're Very Good anytime, anywhere.
I'm pretty sure I paid full price for my Blink Mini, but you won't have to if you snag one during Amazon's 2025 Prime Day sale (live through July 11). It's now on sale for just $14.99, or 50% off its $29.99 MSRP. That's a match of its record-low price from last June.
