TheBlink Mini is currently$15 (normally $35). Its a wired, plug-in camera that is not weather-resistant, so its meant for indoor use.

As the name implies, theyre not weather-resistant and are only meant to be used indoors.

For those looking for outdoor cameras, the 3rd generation Blink Outdoor camera is your only choice. Currently, you can get two Blink Outdoor cameras for $59.99 (normally $179.99).
