Blink has launched two compact cameras across Australia and New Zealand: a fixed 4K model for sharper footage and a cheaper 2K pan-and-tilt camera for wider indoor coverage.
Blink has expanded its compact security range in Australia and New Zealand with two new cameras that take different approaches to home monitoring. According to the company’s launch information, the Blink Mini 4K+ is its first 4K model, while the Blink Mini Pan-Tilt 2K+ adds motorised movement and automatic subject tracking for indoor use. The new products sit alongside Blink’s existing entry-level cameras, but they target different needs: sharper fixed-frame recording on one side, and wider-room coverage on the other.
The Mini 4K+ is aimed at users who want higher detail from a small, wired camera. Blink says it records in 4K, offers a 115-degree horizontal field of view and supports HDR, which should help balance bright and dark areas in the same scene. The camera also includes dual-band Wi-Fi 6 support, colour night vision that switches to monochrome in near darkness, two-way audio with noise cancellation and a built-in siren. It carries an IP65 rating, meaning it is protected against dust and water exposure, although outdoor use requires Blink’s separate weather-resistant power adaptor. In Australia it is priced at AUD 119 for one camera or AUD 199 for a two-pack, while New Zealand pricing is NZD 129 and NZD 229 respectively.
Blink’s second launch, the Mini Pan-Tilt 2K+, is positioned as a lower-cost indoor model for users who want flexible viewing without moving the camera by hand. The company says it records in 2K and can pan 350 degrees horizontally and tilt 115 degrees vertically through the Blink app. Its auto-tracking feature follows motion across a room, which is useful for keeping a person or object in frame. The model also includes night vision, two-way audio, a motion-activated spotlight and a siren. Blink has set the price at AUD 59 in Australia and NZD 69 in New Zealand.
Both cameras rely on Blink’s subscription service for some of their more useful functions. Person and vehicle detection alerts are not included as standard, and cloud storage for recorded clips also sits behind a plan, although Blink offers a free 30-day trial. The broader approach is consistent with the company’s existing range, which has typically paired low upfront hardware prices with optional paid services for advanced notifications and storage. For households weighing the two new models, the distinction is straightforward: the Mini 4K+ offers more detail and outdoor versatility, while the Mini Pan-Tilt 2K+ focuses on cheaper, adjustable indoor coverage.
