You are surely not unaware that yesterday took place theAmazon Device 2021. Besides the very noticed arrivals of his new Echo Show 15 and, above all, his domestic robot Amazon Astro, the smiling brand also presented a new connected video doorbell with its Blink Home Security brand and accessories for its outdoor cameras. Named without too much surprise Blink Video Doorbell, it is an affordable, easy-to-use and just as reliable alternative ...
Blink Video Doorbell: a video doorbell with record autonomy
Less known than its subsidiary Ring, the second security brand ofAmazon is no less interesting as evidenced by the upcoming arrival of its first connected doorbell Blink Video Doorbell.
Combining daytime video in HD 1080p, view infrared night et two-way sound, it differs from its competing sisters by a record battery life of up to 2 years with simple lithium batteries. If you know Blink, you will know that it is the big strength of the company which has developed both its own chips Immediate AC1002B and low consumption protocol...
However, if the Blink Video Doorbell can be installed wirelessly, it is also able to use those of your existing doorbell to be permanently powered and, above all, to trigger your chime. Practice !
Like the other products of the brand, it offers a cloud subscription, which you can also do without by plugging in a simple USB key on the Blink Sync Module 2 that we had discovered on the occasion of the release of the cameras Blink Indoor and Outdoor. Either allows you to record video clips and other motion detections.
Finally, you will not be surprised to learn that the Blink Video Doorbell is of course compatible with Alexa and that it is possible to receive movement and ringing notifications on the connected speakers Amazon Echo, but also to view the video stream and to communicate an Echo Show.
Two new Blink Outdoor devices
The brand's other announcement concerns the release of two new devices that accompanies Blink Outdoor outdoor cameras. Thanks to its range of connected surveillance cameras Blink and to the new Blink Video Doorbell, the product range Blink Now covers your entire home with an affordable, easy-to-use and reliable security experience.
- Blink Floodlight Camera: a holder with two wireless LED lights providing a powerful illumination of 700 lm for your outdoor camera and offered at only 39.99 €.
- Blink Solar Panel Mount: a support for the outdoor camera equipped with a solar panel allowing to do without charging the camera thanks to the rays of the sun.
These three new devices will soon be available. For the doorbell, it is already possible to register on product page in order to be kept informed of the exact release date.
Note, moreover, that Blink cameras have recently been subject to price reductions and are now available:
• Blink Mini : from 34,99 €
• Blink Indoor : from 79,99 €
• Blink Outdoor: from 99,99 €
Hi
Does it work without a subscription to Blink's service? Thank you
Hello,
Sorry for the delay, we took a few days off. 😉
Yes, that's the idea, it can benefit from local recording directly to a USB key via Sync Module 2 and will not require a subscription in this case.
Good week
Hello, do you have any news about the availability of this product in France? If not, do you know why its marketing here is lagging? I'm waiting for its release to equip myself with a connected doorbell but I'm starting to despair… Thank you in advance for your answer and thank you for all the work you do on this blog!
Hello,
Unfortunately no, we have absolutely no information on this product, but I will find out. 😉
The brand's products always take a while to arrive on the European market, without us really knowing why, and it doesn't seem to be getting any better with the semiconductor crisis.
Have a good day
Thanks for your feedback ! I'll take my troubles patiently then 😉 have a nice day
