The Blink Video Doorbell camera presents no hidden surprises. As a well-known brand, Blink launched this doorbell camera back in 2022. What stands out, however, is its remarkable affordability. Currently, the Blink Video Doorbell and Sync Module 2 is priced at $34.99, down from its original price of $69.99 — a substantial 50% discount that marks it as the lowest price recorded, according to price tracking platforms.

As a subsidiary of Amazon, it’s expected that significant discounts would be offered on its platforms. The Blink Video Doorbell operates wirelessly on batteries that can last up to two years, depending on daily usage. Alternatively, it can be wired for easier power access, should battery management be a hassle. Furthermore, being an Amazon product means it integrates seamlessly with Amazon Alexa, although it does not support other smart home systems.

This smart doorbell utilizes your smartphone as a chime and features two-way audio, enabling communication with visitors directly from your device. It captures video in 1080p resolution and includes infrared night vision capabilities. With an impressive 180-degree field of view, it ensures comprehensive coverage of your entranceway. It’s also possible to set it up indoors if desired.

The Sync Module 2 serves as a hub for managing up to ten Blink devices from your mobile phone and allows for local video storage, eliminating the need for subscription-based cloud services. However, a USB flash drive (up to 256 GB) for storage must be purchased separately. Note that while a Blink subscription isn’t mandatory, it is required to access all of the system’s features. The subscription starts at $30 per year for the Blink Basic plan. More insights can be found from PCMag’s favorable review of the doorbell and its corresponding hub.
