My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: Blink Security Cameras
It sounds obvious, but the best time to install security cameras is before your home is broken into. I recently had my home broken into before I could install CCTV cameras in my new home and I’m convinced the reason was because I was one of the few houses in the area that didn’t have cameras. If you don’t have cameras in your home either, Amazon’s Memorial Day sale is currently offering Blink cameras for up to 50% off, as well as packages designed for those just starting out or for people looking to expand their current system.
For Blink cameras, you’ll need a sync module if you want to use local storage instead of paying for cloud storage with the Blink subscription plan. The sync module provides you with local storage for your videos on a USB drive. Most kits have the option to include a Sync Module 2 , which is much cheaper than buying it separately (sometimes for as little as $5 more). Blink’s subscription plan starts at $3 per month for a single device and goes up to $10 per month for multiple devices. Learn more about subscription options here .
The Blink Whole Home Bundle is a good way to get started
The Blink Whole Home Bundle has everything you need to get started with a security camera system and is currently $131.97 (originally $199.97) after 34% off. The package includes the Blink Video Doorbell , Blink Outdoor 4 Camera, the new Blink Mini 2 Camera, and Sync Module 2 for local storage. The new Blink Mini 2 also works as an outdoor camera if you purchase the Blink weatherproof power adapter , so you can get two outdoor cameras if you want.
Save money with Blink Outdoor 4 if you already have a security camera system.
This kit is great for those who already have the basics (like a doorbell camera) and just need more cameras. The Blink Outdoor 4 is a great outdoor wireless camera, and the four-camera set is 50% off , so each camera is essentially $42.50 instead of $119. This package still includes Sync Engine 2, so you can use local storage if you want to avoid the monthly subscription.
