Mini 2 Installation
Mini 2 camera ships with a camera mount along with two screws and an indoor power adapter in the box. Make sure to remove its protective covering prior to using the camera.
Note: Make sure the cable reaches your Mini 2 camera without being stretched and refer to the following installation instructions.
Depending on the orientation of where the camera will be located, use one of the two mounting points:
- The vertical mounting point (for walls or other vertical surfaces) is located below the USB port at the rear of the camera.
- The horizontal mounting point (for flat surfaces and ceilings) is located at the bottom of the unit.
Mounting Blink Mini 2 Camera
- Select a location to mount your camera. When you’ve decided where it will go, remove the top cover from the mount and use the included screws to secure the mount to your surface. Then reattach the top cover by rotating it to align with the keyed slot and notches on the mount until it can be securely connected down into place without resistance.
Proper camera placement is important for good image quality. Mini 2 cameras have been used to detect motion through glass. Remember, this is not the most accurate way to detect motion. When using your Mini 2 through glass, make sure to turn off the Recording LED and the Night Vision IR LED to prevent glare from reflected light. Learn about camera placement.
- After the mount has been secured, press your Mini 2 onto the mounting point. It will click into place as the camera is secured.
- Plug the included indoor or Blink Weather-Resistant Power Adapter (sold separately) cable into the USB port in the back of Mini 2 and aim the camera.
- If using the included indoor power cable, plug the other end into the power supply and then plug the power supply into your wall socket.
When using the Blink Weather-Resistant Power Adapter (sold separately), you can use the included mounting kit which comes with screws, anchors and cable clips to attach it to a wall. Then plug the other end directly into a socket.
You can test the camera’s orientation by using Live View in the Blink app.
Optional: Flipping video
If you want to mount Mini 2 onto a ceiling or an overhead surface, you may need to flip the camera’s video so it outputs properly.
You can make this change in the Blink app by tapping More
in the lower right of the device thumbnail image. Then select Device Settings > Video and Photo and tap Flip Video to turn on this setting.
Visit the camera settings page for more information about settings.

Outdoor 4 Installation
- Make sure the cable reaches to your Outdoor 4 camera without being stretched.
- Remove the USB cover from the bottom on the back cover. Also make certain to save it, in case you ever decide to use your Outdoor 4 without the Weather-Resistant Power Cable attached.
Note: The USB port must always be covered for your camera to be weather resistant.
Firmly plug the USB-C cable into the left side of your Outdoor 4 camera with the cable connected at the bottom. This ensures you have a tight seal on all sides so your camera is weather resistant.
With the cable attached to the camera, plug the power adapter at the other end into your electrical socket.
You can then proceed with mounting your Outdoor 4.
Note: You have the option of using the right-angle adapter with your Outdoor 4 for increased flexibility when the weather-resistant cable is attached. This adapter snaps into the opening on the back of the camera, as shown in the diagram below.
Then press the adapter onto the connecting point of the mount. The adapter will snap into place indicating a secure attachment.
- Check the camera function by taking a thumbnail image or opening a Live View session to make sure you have the camera view you need.
Note: When using the Weather-Resistant Power Adapter with your Outdoor 4 camera, it’s recommended to have working batteries installed. In the event there’s an issue with your camera receiving power, the camera will use the installed batteries to function.
Learn more about the Outdoor 4 camera.
Mounting your Weather-Resistant Power Adapter
The Weather-Resistant Power Adapter can be mounted to a flat surface using the 4 included screws and anchors as shown below. Make certain to secure the Weather-Resistant Power Adapter prior to plugging it into your camera, so it doesn’t hang freely from the camera.
Once your Weather-Resistant Power Adapter has been mounted, you can also secure the cable using the 4 included clips.
Outdoor 3
Blink offers a 13 ft (4 m) Weather-Resistant Cable and Power Adapter Pack rated to the IP55 Standard. The adapter delivers power to the Blink Outdoor or Indoor (3rd Gen) camera, supporting longer battery life. This cable isn’t compatible with the Mini 2 or Outdoor 4 camera.
Visit Amazon.com sales page for Blink’s Weather-Resistant Power Cable and Adapter.
Note: While the camera can run on USB power, you should keep new batteries in the camera in case the power is cut or the cable is disconnected.
A specially shaped USB plug fits the camera case opening. When installed correctly, the Power Adapter Pack and Blink Outdoor Camera provide reliable function year-round.
Technical Specs
- IP55 rated weather resistant
- Mini USB male to electrical mains adapter
- 5-volt 1-amp current at the micro-USB plug
Note: Weather-Resistant Power Adapter (Model BAC004300U) is compatible in US and Canada with the Outdoor 3 camera (Model BCM00400U, BCM00401U).
Outdoor 3 Installation
- Make sure the cable reaches your camera without being stretched.
- Remove the back cover of your camera. Learn more about removing your back cover.
- The port protector is attached to the inside of the camera case by a strap. Push the silicone port protector into the opening of the camera back cover, then pull the silicone port protector to remove.
- Ensure the adapter plug and camera case opening are free of debris, dirt, oil or liquid of any kind, and then insert the micro-USB end of the plug into the camera. You may feel slight resistance as the silicone is fitting the camera case; however, the plug should seat without difficulty. If you feel the need to force the plug to fit, it may not be seating correctly. Please double check whether the plug is held with the correct side up.
Notice in the Side View image of the plug, how the plug shape follows the curve of the camera back. You’ll still see a small gap (about the width of a fingernail) when the plug is inserted fully. This is part of the plug design.
- Once the plug is securely in place, check the fit of your mounting location before connecting the camera to the mount. If the fit is too tight, the USB plug may be pulled from the camera accidentally.
- With the cable attached to the camera, plug the power adapter at the other end into your electrical socket.
- Check the camera function by taking a thumbnail image or opening a Live View session to make sure you have the camera view you need.
- The USB plug is compatible with Blink accessories. For instance, an opening is moulded into the Camera Stand as shown.
