Blink's latest offerings, the Blink Wired Doorbell 2K+ and the Blink Battery Doorbell 2K+, are set to revolutionize home security. These new additions to the Blink 2K camera lineup offer enhanced features and affordability, making them a compelling choice for homeowners. With a starting price of $39.99 for the wired version and $69.99 for the battery-powered option, these doorbells provide an attractive alternative to competitors like Wyze and Ring. The wired doorbell, in particular, stands out as Blink's first wired-only model, eliminating the need for a Blink Sync Module, which is a significant advantage in terms of cost and convenience. The battery-powered version, while slightly more expensive, offers a smaller form factor and the convenience of lithium AA batteries. Both models support Blink's AI-powered video descriptions, which provide text summaries of events captured by the camera, such as 'person playing basketball in the driveway.' These descriptions are cloud-based and require a subscription to one of Blink's AI tiers, starting at $6.99 per month. However, for those who prefer a more basic approach, Blink still offers standard plans with 60 days of video cloud storage and on-device person alerts, starting at $3.99 per month. The doorbell cameras also support local recording to an SD card or USB stick using the Sync Module XR or Sync Module 2, respectively. Overall, Blink's new doorbells offer a comprehensive and affordable solution for home security, catering to various user preferences and needs.
