Reolink Lumus
Score: 82/100
Blink Mini 2K+
Score: 80/100Rankings
The Reolink Lumus is a wired wireless IP security camera featuring 2K 4MP resolution and color night vision via integrated spotlights. Its main limitation is the requirement for a wired USB power source, restricting placement options. It is ideal for smart home users with Google/Alexa who prioritize local storage privacy.
The Blink Mini 2K+ is a compact plug-in indoor camera delivering 2K video, color night vision, and a 138° field of view. It features two-way audio and a built-in siren, but advanced AI detection is locked behind a subscription. It is best suited for budget-conscious users needing simple indoor monitoring with Alexa integration.
