The affordable and easy-to-install Blink Outdoor Wireless HD smart security camera is at the lowest price ever seen on Amazon
It seems like not a day goes bike when you don't read or hear about somebody having their bike stolen. I moved house a few years ago and decided to install security cameras to watch over my outside bike storage. I chose the Blink Outdoor Wireless HD smart security camera – which is now at the lowest price ever seen for Amazon Prime Day 2024.
They immediately paid for themselves as after only a few weeks they caught an opportunist thief on camera as he attempted to break in and steal my bikes. I can't recommend them enough, and if you're looking to add some extra security around your home, with a massive 65% discount, now's the time to give your best mountain bike the extra protection it deserves.
Blink Outdoor Security Camera:
Was $209.98, now $89.98 at Amazon US
Was £154.99, now £53.99 at Amazon UK
If you keep your mountain bikes in a garage or shed then the Blink Outdoor camera gives you an added level of bike and home security. They are designed to work in all weathers, and record day and night with wide-angle, infrared night vision.
Having used them and caught a bike thief in the act, I can recommend them highly. There are loads of big discounts on various packages right now for Amazon Prime Day.
Amazon has a host of discounts for Prime Day, with various camera options. I've chosen the two-camera pack to highlight as it currently has the biggest discount, and I found two covered the areas of my own home I needed with ease. There are up to four camera options though, and if you need more, I've added a few but you can check the various offers out at Amazon too.
The Blink Outdoor cameras work amazingly well and are easy to set up. They are wire-free, AA lithium battery-powered (included), and offer 24-hour HD security day or night with infrared night vision. They are also designed to withstand the elements and are easily attached to your home, garage and wherever you need them with no professional installation required.
Blink Outdoor 4:
Was $89.99, now $39.99 at Amazon US
Was £79.99, now £30.99 at Amazon UK
The single-camera deal is perfect for coverage on a specific area. The Outdoor 4 fourth-generation allows you to see and speak from the Blink app. It has 1080p HD live view, infrared night vision, and crisp two-way audio.
Once installed, you can customize your motion detection zones via the Blink Home Monitor app so you’re only alerted when you need to be. This is useful if you have a road or high footfall area because the wide-angle lens has a brilliant field of vision, so switching certain areas off helps avoid unwanted triggers and preserves battery life.
You can also hear and speak to visitors with Live View in real-time and two-way audio features on your Blink Home Monitor app. Although Live View is not continuous, it's handy if there's an Amazon delivery or in my case asking the thief (ever so politely) what he was doing!
You get a free 30-day trial of the Blink Subscription Plan to save and share clips or save locally with the Sync Module 2 and USB drive (sold separately)..
