Okay, so I grabbed this alarm clock case for my Blink Mini, and here’s the tea ☕.
First off, it *does* look like a normal alarm clock—kinda sleek, kinda basic. The black version blends in well, but if you peek too close, the camera outline is visible (especially with a white Blink Mini). Pro tip: use a black camera if you want full stealth mode.
The setup? Easy. Slide the cam in, plug it in (though that 90-degree USB elbow is awkward), and boom—hidden surveillance. But here’s the catch: the IR night vision gives it away. That little red glow? Not exactly covert. And the audio? Slightly muffled, like someone’s talking through a pillow.
The clock itself is… fine. Not luxury, not junk. But the buttons? Weird placement. Why is snooze in Narnia? Also, no battery backup—power goes out, and your clock resets like it’s 1999.
Biggest gripe? The back cover loves to yeet itself off if you move the clock. Tape is now my best friend.
Verdict: 3/5. It’s clever but needs tweaks. Would I buy again? Maybe if it goes on sale. 🤷♀️
