Below, I've pulled together a simple guide to your options and now's a great time to buy. Amazon Prime Day starts next week (June 23-26), and because
Blink is an Amazon -owned brand we're expecting plenty of discounts across
the range in fact, most of the deals seem to have gone live already, and they're big . I've included all the details below. View all Blink US deals at Amazon View all Blink UK deals at Amazon I'm starting with the Outdoor range of battery-powered, weatherproofed security cameras, spearheaded by the Outdoor 4 and the Outdoor 2K+ lines. Both of these lines require a Sync
module to work, and Amazon sells bundles to help you save if you want more than one camera. Next, I've covered the Mini lineup of mains-powered indoor cameras, including the Mini 2K+ and Mini Pan-Tilt. I've put together a key specs table to help you compare your options aside from the power setup and waterproofing, the main differences to consider are image quality (it'll either be 1080p or 2K) and field of view. Read on for a closer look at your Blink home security camera options, and all the information you need to help you figure out which one's right for your home. Blink Outdoor 4: models, details & deals The Outdoor 2K+ is the brand's battery-powered,
weatherproofed security cam line, alongside the Outdoor 2K+ (below) . It has lower video resolution (1080p) but a slightly wider field of view. It's weatherproofed, and runs off two AA batteries these have a claimed two-year battery life, so you won't have to worry about constantly replacing them.

In the US, this model is also available in an XR+ (extended range) version, which comes with an special Sync module that boosts the range by 10x compared to cameras connected using Wi-Fi on its own.

It can also be part of a Wireless Floodlight Camera , which adds 600 (US) or 700 (UK) LED floodlights either side of the camera. In the US, there's also a Wired Floodlight Camera , with significantly brighter 2600-lumen lights.

It can also be purchased as the Solaris 2K+ , which is an Outdoor 2K+ with a solar panel hat. Blink claims that just 45 minutes of direct sunlight is enough to keep the camera running. The reviews on this model are worryingly negative, though, with multiple reports of bugs, glitches and a lack of customer support.

off mains electricity.

The Mini 2K+ is the newest-gen option, with 2K (2560 x 1440) video, and the option of adding a weather-resistant power adaptor (sold separately) to make it suitable for use outdoors. There are a couple of older Minis still kicking around. In the UK I've found the Mini 2 , and in the US it's still possible
to find the first-gen Mini . Those have 1080p video. You can also pick up an Arc mount, which combines two Mini cameras side-by-side for a wider field of view.

Alternatively, you could opt for a Mini Pan-Tilt . This is an indoor cam that can as you might have guessed pan and tilt its camera in order to gain to see into all the corners of your room.

A Blink Sync module is a Wi-Fi hub that acts as a bridge between your security cameras and your app, and it can connect to multiple cameras (up to 10) to create a unified system. Adding a Sync module means the cams don't need to be actively connected to your home's Wi-Fi,
which significantly lowers the amount of battery they use.

The Sync module is required for Blink's battery-powered options so the Outdoor models. If you have wired, indoor Blink cameras (so the Mini
options), a Sync module is optional, because these cams can connect directly to your home Wi-Fi. The below video goes into more detail. Blink Sync Module
