Amazon’s Blink Unveils New Wireless Security Cameras 

Amazon on Wednesday announced Blink Outdoor and Blink Indoor – Blink’s all-new wireless smart home security cameras that run on two AA lithium batteries for up to two years with normal use, making them easy to use and maintain. The cameras boast a sleek new hardware design and offer 1080p HD video, IR night vision, motion detection, and two-way audio. Blink also announced today a new battery expansion pack – which doubles the camera battery life to up to four years in total with normal use, helping customers never miss an important moment.

Using a smartphone and the Blink Home Monitor app, Blink Outdoor and Indoor customers can see a live view of their home, receive motion detection alerts, and use two-way audio to speak to people or pets around their home. Customers can create custom “activity zones” to cut down on unnecessary alerts in high-traffic areas as well as remove sections in their camera’s field-of-view from video recording using Blink’s all-new privacy zone feature.

“For Blink, providing peace-of-mind and exciting new products to our customers is everything,” said Mike Harris, General Manager of Blink. “While Blink’s Outdoor and Indoor cameras include many of the innovative features our customers have come to love and expect – like a powerful two-year battery life – we now offer more options and customizations than ever. From new features like privacy zones to a new battery expansion pack that provides up to two additional years of battery power, we’re excited to deliver our new cameras to our customers.”

Blink Outdoor and Indoor are available for pre-order today in the U.S. and Canada on Amazon and in select retailers in the U.S. like Best Buy, Lowe’s, and The Home Depot. Shipping to customers begins later this month. Blink Outdoor and Indoor will also be available in select European countries soon.
