Features and functionality

What does panoramic live view provide?

The panoramic live view feature (Blink Plus Subscription Plan required) uses two identical Blink Mini 2K+ or Mini 2 cameras (sold separately) mounted together to create a seamless 180° horizontal field of view. This setup combines the video feeds from both cameras into one extra-wide view within the Blink app, providing comprehensive coverage of your space with fewer blind spots than a single camera could deliver. This provides wider surveillance coverage with fewer blind spots, though each camera maintains independent settings and notifications.
