Early Prime Day Deal: Keep Your Home Safe This Summer With Up to 62% Off Blink Outdoor 4 Cams
Amazon's long-awaited Prime Day sale is almost here. Even though it's still a few weeks away, some deals have already dropped, including smart home deals. Whether you're away for one day or one week, it's important to keep your home protected. So, a home security camera is a great investment, and we love the Blink Outdoor 4 security camera.
Amazon has slashed the price of these cameras by up to 62%. This reduces the cost of a single camera to just $45. If you want a little more protection, the two-pack is also on sale. Discounted by an impressive $110, the two cameras are only $70 -- so, each one costs only $35. And for the ultimate security package, the eight-pack option is also on sale. It's $260, discounting the price to $370.
CNET's home security expert, Tyler Lacoma, checked out the Blink Outdoor 4 and praised it in basically every area: "The Blink Outdoor 4 occupies a sweet spot in the outdoor security world, a general-use cam ready for the elements and providing high-quality services with a simple-to-use interface." He also says that, while some of the specs aren't necessarily the best on the market, the cameras do very well for their cost, and the ease of use and installation are big benefits, too.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
The Blink Outdoor 4 earned a spot on his list of the best outdoor security cams due to its excellent battery life. It lasts two years on two AA batteries, meaning you won't have to worry about climbing up and down a ladder regularly to power it up. Check out more smart home finds on our list of top smart home deals happening right now.
Why this deal matters
This camera is only $5 more than its all-time low price of $40, and the multipack options reduce the cost of each camera even lower than that. We don't know if we'll see lower prices on this product, especially as we get closer to Prime Day. But if you're looking for home security now, we recommend cashing in on this deal.

Amazon's bleak job update exposes major AI warning for Aussie workers: 'Will reduce'
Thousands of office workers at Amazon and Microsoft could soon be without a job as the two companies invest more heavily in artificial intelligence and outsourcing. Major warnings have been issued in recent months about how AI could create high levels of unemployment in Australia and around the world. Amazon chief executive Andy Jassy wrote a memo to staff that cautioned this tech takeover would likely hit its workforce in the coming years. But he suggested that some who lose their jobs could find new roles in other sectors. 'As we roll out more generative AI and agents, it should change the way our work is done. We will need fewer people doing some of the jobs that are being done today, and more people doing other types of jobs,' he said. AI warning following 'extraordinary' prediction of job wipe out Centrelink age pension changes coming into effect from July 1 $1,000 ATO school fees tax deduction that Aussies don't realise they can claim 'It's hard to know exactly where this nets out over time, but in the next few years, we expect that this will reduce our total corporate workforce as we get efficiency gains from using AI extensively across the company.' Meanwhile, Bloomberg is reporting Microsoft is gearing up for another round of 'thousands' of job cuts after getting rid of 6,000 roles just last month. During that blitz, the tech company slashed the product and engineering departments; however, this potential new round of cuts could focus more on the sales teams. Microsoft warned back in April that it was looking to use third-party firms to take on software sales rather than do things of Australian companies have started throwing big sums of cash into AI to help improve their products, backend operations, and customer services. But Telstra recently admitted roles would likely be cut in the future due to this new focus. 'Our workforce will look different in 2030 as we develop new capabilities, find new ways to leverage technology, including AI, and we have to stay focused on becoming more efficient,' Vicki Brady said. 'We don't know precisely what our workforce will look like in 2030, but it will be smaller than it is today.' The head of AI leader Anthropic, Dario Amodei, suggested half of all entry-level white-collar jobs could get the flick in the US by 2030. Meanwhile, the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) said late last year that one in three workers were at risk from AI. Australia's productivity commissioner Danielle Wood isn't convinced the AI bloodbath will be that bad. Still, she didn't deny the workforce matrix we're familiar with now will inevitably go through some big changes. 'Am I going to sit here and say, 'No jobs are going to go?' No, clearly not. There will be some impacts," she told the ABC. She hoped AI would allow people to have more time for "the uniquely human parts of jobs". The Prime Minister has announced a huge summit in August a bid to fix the country's lagging productivity. The government believes AI could be a game-changer in this realm and is keen to explore ways the technology can be deployed across multiple sectors. While the ACTU is on board with AI in certain scenarios, it wants assurances for workers' rights. 'To achieve good adoption of AI, Australia needs responsible regulation which both protects Australian workers and Australian industries from malicious use and theft by overseas big tech," ACTU secretary Sally McManus said. The union is pushing for workers to have the right to refuse to use AI in fields where it would be 'inappropriate or carry undue risk', like in medical decision-making. Finance Sector Union national secretary Julia Angrisano, who has been carefully watching Australia's banking industry adopt new tech, said the roundtable will be a good opportunity to set up some ground rules. 'AI is a fundamental and growing part of the finance sector, but this growth is happening in an almost entirely unregulated and uncontrolled way,' she said. 'The economic benefits and productivity gains of AI must flow on to workers, and not just improve the profits of banks and major companies.' Australian Services Union national secretary Emeline Gaske went as far as saying workers should be 'fairly compensated' for using AI. 'AI will undoubtedly reshape the way we work, but we can't lose sight of the people behind the progress,' she said. 'Workers whose knowledge, experience and judgement are used to train and refine these systems deserve to be recognised."Sign in to access your portfolio
