Blink gives his blocky Mini Security Camera a new robot body. The new Mini Pan Tilt is a very literal mount accessory that turns your existing Blink Mini camera from a stationary device into a steerable camera that lets you look around the room.
Setup sounds like it will be easy for the Pan Tilt: you plug the mini camera into the mount, plug in the micro-USB cable, and the camera can now move 360 degrees from the Blink app. You can even install it on a tripod or wall mount (not included), or you can simply place it on a table.
You can pre-order the Mini Pan Tilt mount today on Amazon for $29.99. There’s also a bundle that gets you the mount, as well as a Blink Mini camera if you don’t already own one for $59.99.
In addition to the new mount, Blink is also coming out with a new outdoor camera that uses Amazon’s AZ2 chip for local video processing that doesn’t need to send footage to the cloud. The Blink wired floodlight camera streams 1080p footage and has LED lighting that can go as high as 2,600 lumens. If you want to keep all footage locally, you’ll need an extra Sync Module 2 and a USB stick to store it.
Correction September 28, 1:22 PM ET: An earlier version of this article suggested that Blink sells its own tripods and wall mounts. Blink doesn’t sell them; camera owners would have to get it from a third party.
