Amazon discounts the Blink Mini by 50 percent in an early Prime Day deal

Amazon has the Blink Mini for a mere $17.50 in an early Prime Day deal -- half off the security camera's $35 sticker price. The small plug-in device can give you extra peace of mind while you're away from home, letting you check in remotely to ensure your space is free from intruders (or talk to your pets using its two-way audio). The lower price for Prime Day could make it easier to set up a fleet of them in your home without breaking the bank. Amazon's Blink Mini is nearly half off in this early Prime Day deal. Unlike the more expensive Blink Indoor, the Blink Mini is a plug-in device, so make sure you have a nearby power outlet or can run an extension cord to the area where you'll set it up.
