My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: Blink Video Doorbell and Amazon Echo Pop
Prime Da7 2024 is almost here and early Prime Day deals are getting better. Unsurprisingly, some of the best deals are from Amazon’s own products, like the $59.99 Blink Camcorder Kit or this $149.99 4K Fire TV .
If you’re a Prime member looking for a video doorbell deal and don’t mind a free smart speaker, consider this Blink Video Doorbell and Amazon Echo Pop Bundle , which will set you back $34.99 (the same devices will cost $110 when purchased) . separately).
Blink is owned by Amazon, so it’s no surprise that the doorbell got a big Prime Day discount. It’s surprising how much you get for your $35, though: the Blink Video Doorbell with Sync Module 2 typically costs $69.99, and the Echo Pop typically costs $39.99.
The Blink Video Doorbell can be wired or battery operated. It uses your phone as a bell, has two-way audio so you can communicate with guests from your phone, and supports 1080p resolution and infrared night vision. Sync Module 2 allows you to control up to 10 Blink devices using your phone and use local storage for your video files instead of paying for cloud storage, but you will need to buy a USB drive up to 256GB. Keep in mind that you will still need a Blink subscription to use all of Blink’s features. Blink’s subscription plan starts at $30 per year for Blink Basic.
The Echo Pop is Amazon’s newest and most affordable Echo smart speaker. According to PCMag’s review, this is a “great” smart speaker. One of its best features has nothing to do with the speaker’s capabilities: If you use the Eero Mesh Wi-Fi system, the speaker serves as a hub for extending your Wi-Fi coverage.
