This Blink Spotlight Camera Is 60% Off During the October Prime Day Sale.
As part of the October Prime Day sale, the Blink Outdoor 4 Floodlight Camera is on sale on Amazon for $39.99, a significant discount from the original price of $99.99 and, according to price tracking sites , the lowest price to date. For this price, you get a home security camera and a motion-sensor floodlight in one unit, making it an easy way to illuminate your backyard, driveway, side yard, or any other corner of your property that’s chronically under-lit.

The main advantage is the lack of wiring, as both the camera and floodlight are battery-powered. This flexibility extends to placement as well—since the camera connects via Wi-Fi, as long as there’s a strong signal, it can be installed without worrying about a nearby outlet, according to a PCMag review . The system consists of a motion-activated floodlight and a 1080p camera, powered by four D batteries and two AA batteries, respectively. Naturally, you’ll need to monitor the batteries and replace them periodically, but otherwise, it’s pretty straightforward. When motion is detected, the floodlight turns on, producing up to 700 lumens of brightness—enough to illuminate a driveway, side yard, or other dark area around the house—while the camera records video in 1080p. Infrared night vision is also included, so you can continue monitoring the area after dark, even when the floodlight is turned off.
A more important factor is the ongoing cost if you want more than basic camera access. Blink subscriptions start at $3.99 per month for one device and $11.99 per month for unlimited devices. Paid plans include cloud storage, video history, and advanced alerts. A 30-day trial is provided to evaluate the usefulness of these additional features before subscribing, but those who want to store recorded videos in the cloud should factor the subscription cost into the overall cost. Those who prefer local storage will need to purchase the Sync Module XR separately and a MicroSD card up to 256GB, as the included Sync Module Core does not support local backup.
