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 might be surprising is how cheap it has gotten: You can get the Blink Video Doorbell and Sync Module 2 for $34.99 (originally $69.99), a 50% discount, its lowest price, according to price trackers .
Blink is owned by Amazon, so it’s no surprise that the doorbell gets a big discount there—and that also means it’s compatible with Amazon Alexa, but has no other competitors.
The Blink Video Doorbell can be wireless or battery-powered, which can last up to two years (depending on how many triggers you get per day). It uses your phone as a ringer, has two-way audio so you can communicate with guests from your phone, and supports 1080p resolution and infrared night vision. You will get a 180-degree field of view, so you can see the entire porch through the camera. Of course, you can also use the camera indoors if necessary.
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.
