Amazon’s budget home security brand, Blink, now has a 2K video doorbell in Australia, with a sharper camera designed to pick up more details. Dubbed the Blink Battery Video Doorbell 2K+, it adds a cheaper alternative to the higher-end video doorbells from Ring, another smart home company owned by Amazon.
At $109 in Australia, the Blink Battery Video Doorbell 2K+ is slightly more expensive than the $89 HD model that launched late last year. Along with the resolution upgrade, the new doorbell has a 140 x 140-degree field of view, a weather-resistant IP65 design, and runs on three AAA batteries.
Like Amazon’s Ring devices, the Blink ecosystem puts most of its features behind a paid subscription. Without one, Blink’s cameras provide notifications to the phone app when they detect motion, and you can quickly check the camera’s live feed.
But to store video recordings, you either need a subscription, which starts at $4.95 per month, or Blink’s Sync Module 2, an optional $59 add-on that supports USB storage.
In addition to the Video Doorbell 2K+, Blink also launched the Solaris 2K+ in Australia. It’s a small solar panel system that attaches to the Blink Outdoor 2K+ security camera, keeping it powered uninterrupted. According to Blink, as long as the Solaris 2K+ gets 45 minutes of direct sunlight each day, it’ll keep the camera running 24/7.
By itself, the Solaris 2K+ costs $59 in Australia. Alternatively, it’s also available bundled with the Outdoor 2K+ camera for $169. Blink’s new devices are available now locally via Amazon.
