Amazon has the Blink Mini<\/a> for a mere $17.50 in an early Prime Day deal \u2014 half off the security camera\u2019s $35 sticker price. The small plug-in device can give you extra peace of mind while you\u2019re away from home, letting you check in remotely to ensure your space is free from intruders (or talk to your pets using its two-way audio). The lower price for Prime Day could make it easier to set up a fleet of them in your home without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n

\n

Unlike the more expensive Blink Indoor<\/a>, the Blink Mini is a plug-in device, so make sure you have a nearby power outlet or can run an extension cord to the area where you\u2019ll set it up. The Blink Mini offers 1080p capture, infrared night vision and optional phone alerts if it senses motion while armed. Setup is straightforward, only requiring a few minutes of following instructions in the Blink app to connect it to WiFi. However, the camera only works with Amazon Alexa, so you may want to look at competing products in Engadget\u2019s Smart Home Guide<\/a> if you rely on Siri or Google Assistant for voice control.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re more interested in monitoring your yard or entrance, Amazon also has the Blink Outdoor<\/a> for half off as part of the same early Prime Day deal. Usually $100, you can snag it today for $50. The \u201cweather-resistant\u201d wireless camera records in 1080p and can last up to an estimated two years on a pair of AA batteries. Remember that you\u2019ll need a Blink Sync Module 2<\/a> and a Blink Subscription to save your recorded photos and videos to the cloud with this model.<\/p>\n

Finally, this Blink Video Doorbell bundle<\/a> \u2014 which includes the Sync Module 2 \u2014 is on sale for $47.49 (usually $95.) Like the other devices, it supports 1080p live video with nighttime infrared support and can run for up to two years on a couple of AA batteries. Amazon also describes it as weather-resistant, with a seal protecting it against water. Setup can vary, depending on whether you connect it wired or wirelessly, but either way, the Blink app will guide you through the steps. And if you opt for the simpler wireless setup, you can configure it to use a Blink Mini to play a chime indoors when someone visits.<\/p>\n

Amazon has deals on several other Blink bundles as well. You can check out the entire sale<\/a> for the full details.<\/p>\n
