If you missed out on the one-day deal for Blink cameras last week, there's another option available to enhance the security of your home's exterior. Amazon is currently offering a bundle of two third-generation wireless outdoor cameras, a video doorbell, and a sync module for just $100. However, please note that this discount is exclusively for Prime members. The sale could be related to the upcoming Prime Day event in October, but it is unclear if the savings will extend until then. To purchase the bundle separately at full price, it would cost you $240. However, BlinkPrime members can obtain an outdoor security starter kit for only $100. The bundle consists of a video doorbell and two wireless outdoor security cameras.
These cameras are not the latest generation, which were unveiled last month and boast a wider field of view and improved low-light sensitivity. Nonetheless, the third-generation cameras still offer 1080p recording and infrared video capabilities at night. Both the cameras and doorbell allow you to see, hear, and communicate with individuals in front of them, and you can access a live feed on your phone or compatible smart display through the Blink app. Additionally, the included Sync Module 2 enables you to store footage locally and supports USB downloads. If you wish to save clips to the cloud, you will require a Blink subscription, which costs $10 per month. However, with this bundle, you receive a one-month free trial to test it out. Remember to cancel if you decide that you no longer want the subscription after the trial period.
Blink Outdoor cameras are among our preferred smart home gadgets. We appreciate their straightforward installation process and their energy efficiency, allowing them to operate on a set of AA batteries for up to two years. This bundle is an excellent choice if you already utilize Alexa as your smart home assistant. Nevertheless, if you prefer Google Assistant or Siri and HomeKit to control your smart home, you may want to consider an alternative brand since Blink devices are not natively compatible with those ecosystems. The doorbell is wireless, but if you wish for it to ring inside your home when the button is pressed, you will need to connect it to your existing doorbell wires or purchase a Blink mini indoor camera for wireless installation. Fortunately, the bundle includes mounting materials, so there's no need for an additional purchase.
