SAVE 50%: The Blink Mini 2 home security camera is just $19.99 at Amazon, down from the normal price of $39.99. That's a savings of $20 and a sale price that matches the lowest we've ever seen.

Now that the work-from-home era seems to be ending (sob), keeping an eye on your home while you're away feels more attractive than ever. Between wondering if the dog is eating the couch to hoping the delivered package isn't getting drenched in the rain, adding some security cameras to your home is wise. Even smarter is grabbing them with this deal at Amazon.

As of April 8, the new Blink Mini 2 home security camera is just $19.99 at Amazon, marked down from the normal price of $39.99. That's a 50% discount that shaves $20 off the list price. Today's sale price also matches the lowest we've ever spotted.

For under $20, the Blink Mini 2 packs in the features. For starters, it's designed to use indoors or outside. The materials are weatherproof, so there's no need for concern about a summer rain squall. But it's also great for adding inside to keep an eye on pets. You can also place it in the nursery to have immediate access to see if the baby is still napping.

The Blink Mini 2 comes with motion detection so you can get real-time notifications on your phone about what the camera is picking up. The 1080p resolution is nice, as is the night view in color. If you're using this model outside, the built-in spotlight is fantastic and there's two-way audio.

Set-up is simple, but keep in mind the Blink Mini 2 is wired, so you'll need to use it near a power source. If you're opting to place it outside, you'll want to grab the weather-resistant power adapter. The camera and outdoor-worthy plug are available as a bundle that's currently on sale for $29.98. Otherwise, the Blink Mini 2 deal comes with the camera, a mounting kit, stand, USB cable, and power adapter.

If you're ready to ramp up your home's security, it doesn't get much better than a camera for under $20. Since the Blink Mini 2 is 50% off, it's smart to jump on it sooner rather than later, since there's no telling when it'll go back to full price.
