My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: Blink Video Doorbell
There are no surprises with the Blink Video Doorbell camera. Blink is an established brand and the doorbell camera has been around since 2022. What may surprise you is how cheap it has become. You can purchase the Blink Video Doorbell and Sync Module 2 for $34.99 (originally $69.99) with a 50% discount, which is the lowest price according to price trackers .
Blink is owned by Amazon, so it’s no surprise that the doorbell is heavily discounted on Amazon. The Blink Video Doorbell can be wireless and runs on batteries that last up to two years (depending on how many triggers you get per day). You can also wire it up (if the battery is annoying you, you can always pay an electrician to wire it up for you). And because it’s owned by Amazon, it’s compatible with Amazon Alexa, but not other competitors.
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. You get a 180-degree field of view, so you can see the entire porch in the camera. Of course, you can also use the camera indoors if you wish.
Sync Module 2 is a hub that lets you 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’ll need to buy a USB drive up to 256GB (sold separately). Keep in mind that you’ll still need a Blink subscription to use all of Blink’s features (but it’s not required). Blink’s subscription plan starts at $30 per year for Blink Basic.
