Arc Mount panoramic view is a great setup

I’ve used Blink cameras for a while, and these Mini 2K+ cameras are a noticeable upgrade. I bought the two-pack and mounted both together outside using the Blink Arc Mount, which is probably my favorite part of the setup. With the cameras angled in opposite directions, the Arc Mount combines their views into one really wide panoramic view. I can basically see my entire front yard, driveway, sidewalk, and street at once instead of constantly switching back and forth between two cameras. There is a small overlap/seam in the middle where the two views meet, but it doesn’t bother me and the amount of area it covers more than makes up for it.

The 2K picture is very clear and detailed, especially during the day. For such small cameras, I was actually surprised by how much of my property I can see with the panoramic setup. The Arc Mount also looks much cleaner than mounting two cameras separately and trying to get their angles lined up myself.

The smart detection has been another big improvement. The cameras can distinguish between people, vehicles, and other motion, so I’m not just getting the same generic motion notification for everything that moves. The camera will learn and recognize familiar faces and vehicles so that you can go in the settings and name those people or vehicles so that the notifications of motion will automatically tell you what it sees before having to look at the videos. Since mine face the street, vehicle detection is especially useful, and person detection makes it much easier to tell when someone is actually approaching the house. You can also choose which types of motion you want recorded.

Setup was straightforward, and I like that they’re plug-in cameras so I don’t have to keep checking or changing batteries. The app gives you plenty of options for adjusting motion detection and the cameras themselves.

One thing to know if you plan on putting them outside is that Blink requires a weather-resistant power adapter for outdoor use, which is sold separately. Mine are mounted under a covered area for some additional protection, but I still wish the outdoor power equipment was included.

Overall, I’m really happy with this setup. The combination of two Mini 2K+ cameras and the Arc Mount makes much more sense for my front yard than a single camera. The panoramic view, clearer 2K video, and separate person and vehicle detection are the features I’ve ended up appreciating the most.

Junk constant glitches

Two different video setup for each camera

I am sick of the glitches constantly, how hard is it to produce a quality camera system.

Issues galore

There’s obvious issues that need worked out. There’s not only a color quality issue where each side shows up differently. But also the two feeds don’t align - so there’s a weird glitch spot in the middle of the frame. Definitely not what was advertised- seems like this should have stayed in testing a little longer.

Doesn’t help my entire order came entirely wet- box disintegrated- paper envelope during major rainstorms and not delivered under shelter. But I don’t believe water damage is causing the misalignment of the arc base.

I'm loving the Panoramic views

I'm enjoying my panoramic cameras. I have three panoramic setups around my yard each with clear views of large portions of the property. The ability to view the cameras live or download motion recordings in conjunction with other single blink cameras I have set up offers a great sense of security and a great way to monitor wildlife activity around the yard.

Good Life-Great Life

Great security solution - highly recommend!

Works as expected and easy to install.

The packaging is small, clean, and easy to open. The cameras are sleek and have a minimal look, even in the dual camera mount. Despite minimal look, all camera equipment and hardware feel sturdy.

Set up is easy with intuitive assembly. (I did not need directions to get set up but if you are new to Blink, instructions could be helpful to familiarize yourself with setup/install). Easy connection to existing sync and WiFi.

Camera picture is clear and provides a wide view which covers a significant area. No issues or lag loading both pictures immediately in the app. Live stream is accurate and dependable. So far, it seems like it loads the blink arc picture faster than my doorbell.

Power cord is long enough to provide easy access to outlets 6’ away. An extender or longer cord may be necessary to mount the blink arc at a higher height, depending on where your outlet is located. Battery power not an issue since it is hardwired.

I would be excited to see the battery powered cameras as an option for this bundle so I could set up cameras in areas without convenient access to power outlets.
