When your doorbell rings, are you still getting up and opening the door open to see who’s there? That could lead to results ranging from annoying door-to-door salespeople to potentially dangerous fake solicitors and scam artists. If you put off getting a video doorbell because they were expensive or hard to install, here’s a little update for you: The Blink Video Doorbell can be installed wirelessly in just minutes, and it’s only $33 during a limited-time deal at Amazon, down from $59 (45% off).
This is the most recent iteration of the Blink, with 1080p hi-res daytime video and infrared night vision so you get a clear look at who’s at your door without having to open it, and 2-way audio so you can let them know you’re coming or tell them to buzz off. Motion detection gives you the alert that someone’s approaching before they reach the door.
This version of the Blink can be hardwired so it rings through your existing doorbell chime, or it can be set up wirelessly with alerts coming to your smartphone or other Alexa-enabled device. This 45% off Amazon deal brings the Blink’s price down from $60 nearly all the way back to its Black Friday pricing.
Great Deal Gets Even Better
Amazon’s also giving you a chance to knock down that $33 price on the Blink Video Doorbell even more, with up to 20% off if you have any devices to trade in. If you have an older Blink or other video doorbell, this is a great chance to upgrade and save money at the same time.
If you opt for the wireless installation, you’ll go from unboxing to active monitoring in mere minutes. When unwired, the Blink runs on two AA batteries (included), and the battery life is exceptional. Sign up for a free 30-day trial of the Blink Subscription Plan to use the Blink to its full capacity, with the ability to save or share video clips in the cloud. Amazon’s Sync Module 2 and a USB drive (sold separately) will also allow you to save video clips taken by the Blink, and with the Sync Module 2 or a hardwired installation, you can simply ask Alexa to answer the door for you.
Answer From Anywhere
With the Blink app on your smartphone or an Alexa-enabled screen like an Echo or Fire, you can receive alerts set off by the doorbell or the motion detector, and also see live images from the Blink’s camera wherever you are, with a horizontal range of 135 degrees and vertical range of 80 degrees. You can also answer the door and speak to whoever’s there through your smartphone or Alexa-enabled device.
Opening your door blindly whenever the doorbell rings just isn’t worth the risk, and the days of expensive video doorbells requiring complicated installation are long gone. The Blink Video Doorbell has the motion detection, quality video, and connectivity options you need to keep your home safe, and it’s only $33 at Amazon right now.
