UMVA has learned that Amazon's Prime Day has kicked off with a bang, featuring a slew of enticing deals and discounts on cutting-edge smart home security systems.
One standout offer is the Blink bundle, which includes a video doorbell, an Outdoor 4 camera, and a Sync Module Core, all for just $27.99. That's a whopping discount from its original price of $139.98, making it an unbeatable deal for those looking to bolster their home security.
This practical setup is ideal for apartments, townhomes, or smaller houses, providing comprehensive coverage of multiple entry points. The doorbell can monitor your front entrance, while the Outdoor 4 camera keeps an eye on a second doorway, driveway, backyard gate, or any other area you want to secure.
For those interested in a more streamlined solution, Amazon is also selling the Blink Video Doorbell with Sync Module Core separately for $23.99, down from $59.99. However, investing in the additional security camera seems like a more sensible option, given its affordability.
Both devices boast wire-free functionality and run on AA lithium batteries that can last up to two years, depending on usage. The video quality is sharp enough for everyday monitoring, and both devices feature night vision, motion alerts, and two-way audio, allowing you to see and speak with visitors directly from the Blink app.
The included Sync Module Core acts as the hub that connects everything together, enabling you to expand the system later with additional Blink devices – it can support up to 10 cameras and doorbells on a single setup. However, the biggest drawback is storage, as the Core model doesn't support local storage, requiring a Blink subscription after the trial period ends.
Features like person detection and extended video history are also behind the paywall, with plans starting at $40 per year for a single device or $120 annually for unlimited devices. Despite some limitations, particularly with Google Home and Apple HomeKit compatibility, this security bundle offers incredible value for less than $30.
