Amazon’s early Black Friday deal knocks up to 60 percent off Blink security cameras
Pick up a Blink Mini three pack while it’s down to only $40.
The Blink Outdoor 4 camera, which became available in August, is on sale right now for $72 thanks to an early Amazon Black Friday deal. This deal, along with savings on other Blink security cameras, is only available for a short period, starting on October 25 and ending November 5.
Amazon's newest generation of the Blink Outdoor wire-free smart security camera is 40 percent off.
The Outdoor 4 captures 1080p HD footage of the camera’s view and allows you to view that footage from your smartphone. It supports live view as well, along with enhanced motion detection and two-way talk. The kicker for Blink cameras, though, is that they’re wireless, making them very easy to place inside and outside of your home. Plus, each has a battery life of about two years before you need to change their two AA cells. If you purchase the single camera system, you will get access to a free 30-day trial of the Blink subscription plan that allows you to store and share security cam footage in the cloud, and enable features like person detection.
The Blink Mini bundle, which includes three cameras, three mounting kits with stands, USB cables and power adapters is also on sale. The bundle, which originally sells for $100 will be made available for $40. Blink Mini cameras can also stream 1080p HD video and record footage using night vision, but they have to be plugged in. Like the Blink Outdoor devices, these indoor cameras are ideal for Alexa fans — the cameras can be controlled through voice to arm and disarm the system. The Blink Mini allows you to customize notifications for motion detection so get alerts for zones that you care about most. The deal on this Mini set is a great entry point for building a home security system if you don't already have one.
