Amazon slashes 'brilliant' video doorbell to £28.99 in limited-time deal
The Blink Doorbell camera is currently £28.99 - down from £49.99 for a limited time Video doorbells have become more affordable and highly efficient, serving as a security camera for the home while Brits are not around. For those seeking a bargain without wanting to commit fully, Amazon has an offer that might pique interest. The Blink Doorbell camera is currently priced at £28.99, reduced from £49.99 for a limited period - a deal well worth considering at this price point. The device enables shoppers to answer their door from anywhere using their smartphone, thanks to its 1080p HD day and infrared night video capabilities, along with two-way audio. Blink boasts of long-lasting battery life, customised alerts, and privacy settings. For those concerned about installation, it can be set up within minutes using the two included AA lithium batteries and then connected to Wi-Fi via the app. The newly designed internal battery seal also offers an IP54 weather resistance rating to withstand the unpredictable British weather. Unlike Ring, Blink allows users to store clips and videos on a separate device without a subscription, although a subscription option is available for purchase. Grab the Blink video doorbell for £28.99 £49.99 £28.99 Amazon GET DEAL Product Description For those wanting some alternatives, there's the Ring Battery Video Doorbell for £79.99. It comes with extremely quick set-up within five minutes and high-definition video recording. There's also the Arlo video doorbell that comes in for a slightly more expensive £95.99 - and it comes with 2K cameras and person/package detection. Customers are singing the praises of the Blink doorbell in their reviews. One buyer commented: "Now, I'm all for keeping an eye on the doorstep, especially with the little ones running about. This Blink Video Doorbell does just the trick, and it doesn't need any wires, which is a bonus for those of us who aren't keen on DIY. "Setting it up was fairly straightforward, though it took a few tries to get the hang of it. First, you pop in the batteries and connect the Sync Module 2 to your Wi-Fi. Then, you download the Blink app, create an account, and add the doorbell and module. The app guides you through the rest, which is basically scanning QR codes and following on-screen instructions. "The picture quality is decent, even in the evenings. I can clearly see who's at the door, even if they're lurking in the shadows. The two-way talk feature is handy too – I can tell the postie where to leave a parcel, or have a quick chat with the neighbours without having to open the door." Nevertheless, some customers have raised concerns about battery longevity. One purchaser noted: "Great piece of kit that works really well with the other blink products I have, as well as Alexa. "My issue is battery life. I have had it for two months and four days, and I am about to change the batteries for the second time. I'm not sure if this is just mine, but it is slightly annoying. The listing says long battery life, but it really isn't."

The Blink Video Doorbell Is Practically Free, Amazon Seems Determined to Clear Out All Their Stock
Among all the Amazon devices going on sale during Prime Day, the Blink video doorbell wins the award for largest discount. This newly updated version of Blink's smart doorbell now sells for just $29, while its normal price is $69 (that's a massive 57% discount). See at Amazon Amazon seems intent on clearing out as much stock as possible even though the device itself is compact and easy to store. If you're a Prime member—even if you're just using the free trial—you can take advantage of this incredible offer. With summer being a peak time for break-ins, there's never been a better moment to secure your home. The Blink doorbell is a second-generation product with far better improvements than its first. With it, you receive the head-to-toe HD image of anything from a visitor's face to deliveries left on your doorstep. You are protected both daytime and nighttime thanks to infrared night vision. The two-way audio feature lets you communicate face-to-face through the Blink app, so you can greet visitors, leave delivery instructions, or deter unwanted visitors from home. Unlike some other options, including the Ring video doorbell, which often costs significantly more frequently, Blink can provide a complete set of features at a tiny fraction of the price. While Ring is a household name, Blink's product is cheaper and more widely available, which makes it a smart choice if you want to improve the security of your home. The battery life of the Blink doorbell is arguably the most impressive aspect of the device: With the three that are included AA Energizer lithium batteries and the Blink Sync Module, you can enjoy up to two years of uninterrupted usage before replacement of the batteries is required. This amounts to less maintenance and more tranquility. The Sync Module Core that comes in the box assists your doorbell in staying connected and responsive at all times. Installation is easy: you can set it up wire-free in a matter of minutes or connect it to your existing doorbell wiring if that's what you want. If you choose to go wireless, you can repurpose a Blink Mini 2 camera (sold separately) as an indoor chime, or just rely on instant alerts delivered directly to your phone through the Blink app. Security features are improved with edge AI processing where the doorbell quickly identifies people at your doorstep. When you buy the Blink Subscription Plan (separately), you get better alerts each time a person is spotted, in addition to access to Blink Moments which connects several clips into one shareable video. There's a free 30-day trial of the subscription plan right now for Prime Day. At just $29 for Prime members, the Blink Video Doorbell is one of the best Prime Day deals out there. See at Amazon
