Blink Video Doorbell

A 1080p camera records footage at 30 frames per second in the Blink Video Doorbell. It offers a 135-degree horizontal field of view and an 80-degree vertical field of view, This is similar to the $59 Ring Video Doorbell Wired. So, unlike the Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 or the Nest Doorbell, you won’t get to see as much of your front stoop (battery).

Already have a doorbell? Interestingly, this Blink’s Video Doorbell can be hardwired and can be powered by two AA batteries. When hardwired or linked with a Sync Module 2, Blink promises two years of battery life with the provided batteries.

That’s impressive, but it all relies on how you use it and how you save footage. Video of the Ring Wired doorbells always has electricity, while wire-free doorbells can take three to four weeks to install, depending on how many alerts you receive.

On the other hand, all of this is contained within a slim design. That resembles most other doorbells. It will come in either black or white. With the camera on top and the ringer button on the bottom. Furthermore, this amazing video doorbell is weatherproof.

The Blink Video Doorbell, unlike Blink’s other wireless cameras, connects directly to your Wi-Fi network rather than using a sync module. You can keep videos locally rather than in the cloud. You can connect it to the Blink Sync Module 2 ($34.99, offered separately).

The Video Doorbell, like Blink’s cameras, will offer unique motion zones (which are simple to set up). But will lack features like a person, package, and vehicle detection. Which are becoming increasingly widespread.

You can sign up for a Blink Subscription Plan. And this said plan will allow you to save events such as a doorbell ringing or a delivery being delivered to the cloud. Alternatively, you can purchase the Blink Sync Module and a USB flash drive.

This is to set up a tiny server on your network to keep these files locally. It essentially serves as a network storage drive for the Blink app, allowing you to save files and syncs. In either case, you’ll be able to save footage and share significant occasions with other members of your family or household.

The video doorbell, like other Blink cameras, will connect with Alexa and Echo devices. When someone is at your door, you can hear a notification (like a custom Blink chime) on an Echo speaker, smart display, or even a Fire TV device.

Blink’s Video Doorbell is currently available for presale for $49.99. And the delivery will come in weeks. With the purchase, you’ll also get a 30-day free trial of Blink Subscription Plus. Based on our experience with previous Blink products, we expect the view to be rather clear, but the application can be a touch clumsy at times.
