Buying decision

Should you buy it?

The Mini 2 widens its 1080p view, adds a built-in spotlight for color night vision and can go outside with an optional weatherproof adapter. Person detection and cloud recording need a subscription, though a Sync Module enables local storage. Reviewers liked it as an easy first camera; image quality is average.
