Amazon has dropped the price of a Blink bundle that pairs the Outdoor 2K+ camera with the Wired Doorbell 2K+ to $38.99 from $149.98—a 74% discount that makes it an affordable way to monitor both your front door and another area around your home, like the driveway or backyard. Blink also includes the Sync Module Core, batteries, and mounting hardware in the package, so there isn't much else you need to get started. Just keep in mind that the doorbell is the wired version, so you'll need existing doorbell wiring to install it. And if you don’t need 2K resolution for the outdoor camera, there’s another bundle for $30.99 that pairs the same 2K video doorbell with the previous generation Blink Outdoor 4, which records in 1080p.
The camera runs on two AA lithium batteries, with Blink estimating up to two years of battery life under typical use and battery-efficient settings—your actual runtime will depend on how often the camera records and the settings you choose. Speaking of, video tops out at 2,560 by 1,440 resolution, and the camera has a 135-degree diagonal field of view, so one unit should cover a typical porch or driveway without requiring particularly precise placement. You also get two-way audio, motion alerts, and night viewing, meaning it covers the basics you would expect from an outdoor security camera.
You should know that some of Blink’s smarter features, including AI-generated descriptions of recorded events, require a paid plan—and cloud clip storage does, too. Plans start at $3.99 per month for one camera, while AI features cost more, so the ongoing expense can add up if you want the full experience. The cameras also fit best into an Alexa-based home because they work with Alexa and IFTTT but not Apple HomeKit or Google Home, notes this PCMag review.
