Blink makes some of the best home security cameras we tested on a budget. Their battery-powered devices range from outdoor security cameras to video doorbells. In addition to their affordability, Blink cameras are easy to install, offer good video quality, are packed with features, and last a long time on a AA battery charge.
Right now you can catch the Blink Outdoor 4 Floodlight Camera For Just $77 At Amazon. That’s more than $52 off this bundle, which combines the Blink Outdoor 4 Wireless Camera with a reflector mount for crystal-clear night vision images. If you’re looking to start a home security installation on a budget, this is a great deal. Add the Blink Video Doorbell or the new Blink Mini 2 (both also included in the Amazon Big Spring sale) for complete home coverage.
Blink Outdoor 4 is completely wireless and records clear 1080p video for up to two years straight without needing to change the battery. In our Blink Outdoor 4 review, we really liked how simple the Blink app is. With Ring and Arlo, pop-ups appear with suggestions and other products that can bloat your control center. Despite being a budget camera, Blink also has extremely granular controls for creating zones and detecting people to reduce false alerts.
As with almost all other security cameras, this advanced person detection feature and cloud video storage require a monthly subscription payment. This starts from Blink Basic at $3/month that comes with 60 days of cloud video storage. You can store videos locally using the Blink Sync Module 2 ($49.99, Amazon) and your own USB stick.
This battery-powered wireless mounting accessory can clip onto vinyl siding with no installation required and runs entirely on D-cell batteries. Its LED lights reach a whopping 700 lumens, illuminating the path when the Blink outdoor camera detects motion. Not only is this useful for illuminating your path when walking at night, but this spotlight also deters potential thieves.
