A flurry of announcements of new products was made during the just-concluded Amazon September 28th event. Apart from several Amazon products that were unveiled, smart home solutions company Blink also introduced some of its new products. Blink unveiled three products during the event. They are a smart doorbell camera, the Blink Floodlight Camera, and the Blink Solar Panel Mount.
The Blink Video Doorbell is the company’s first-ever smart doorbell camera and it has a very decent $49 price tag. The video doorbell can be installed as either a wired connection or a wireless device. With two-year battery life, the device also comes with the capability of 1080p HD videos both during the day and at night. The Blink smart doorbell camera has a two-way audio system; offers chime app alerts and can be interfaced with existing home chimes.
The Blink Floodlight Camera is a battery-powered outdoor camera that can function as a motion-triggered floodlight. Its lighting source is a LED mount, and is priced at $39. The third Blink product is the Solar Panel Mount, which supplies solar power to the Blink outdoor.
The products are available from Amazon for pre-order for US residents currently. We expect the global availability to expand subsequently. A bundle of the devices is also available via Amazon.
The price of these new Blink smart home offerings could draw traffic to the products. The Blink’s long-lasting video doorbell is far less expensive than the corresponding Ring product. It remains to be seen how durable the products maybe, even though Blink claims they are long-lasting.
