If you’ve been eyeing a Blink security camera to make your home a little more secure, there are some nice discounts you can get on October Prime Day. There are a number of security cameras and bundles on sale for this event, with one of the most impressive discounts being on a bundle that includes both the Blink Outdoor 4 and Blink Mini 2 for just $50. That’s a massive savings of $90, or 64 percent, which is a record low. You also get the Blink Sync Module 2 in this bundle, making it a great option for those who don’t already have an existing Blink system.
The Blink Outdoor 4 Security Camera easily made it onto our list of the best smart home devices, and for good reason. Despite having “outdoor” in the name, this camera is also great for indoor use. The device runs on two AA batteries, so place it in the backyard, basement, kitchen, or anywhere else. The battery lasts up to two full years before running out.
Blink Outdoor 4 + Blink Mini 2 Security Cameras
It’s weather resistant and supports night vision, motion detection, and two-way audio. You need a subscription to store clips in the cloud, but it also integrates with USB flash drives via the Sync Module 2 peripheral (sold separately). It offers Alexa support, which is nice, but doesn’t work with any other smart assistants.
The Blink Mini 2 that comes in this bundle is also a simple little security camera with color night vision, a built-in spotlight, two-way audio, and motion detection. It needs to be plugged into an electrical socket or USB port to work. This Amazon sale has another bundle with two Mini 2 cameras for $42.
Another notable deal is for a bundle that includes three Outdoor 4 cameras and the Blink Video Doorbell, as well as the Sync Module 2 for saving clips to a flash drive. It costs $120 off, a huge savings of $200.
As the proud owner of the M3 MacBook Air, I agree with everything my colleague Devindra Hardawar wrote in his review last year. The latest Air is a terrific laptop, delivering plenty of performance for all but the most demanding tasks. It also has a great keyboard and trackpad that make the laptop fun to use.
For these reasons, and many more, this is why Engadget recommends the M3 MacBook Air as the best MacBook for most people. Plus, now that 16GB of RAM is standard on all of Apple’s new laptops, it’s easy to recommend the base model without the usual caveats.
