Blink's New 4K Camera: Budget Security Gets Sharper
23 Oct
Summary
- Blink introduces a new 4K camera for $70.
- New cameras include PTZ, long-distance, and spotlight models.
- Some features require a Blink Plus subscription for full functionality.
Amazon's Blink brand has expanded its budget home surveillance offerings with five new cameras. The Blink Mini 4K+, priced at $70, marks the brand's first 4K security camera and captures HDR video with night vision and dual-band Wi-Fi 6. This model also includes a siren controllable via the Blink app.
Most of the new cameras require a Blink Plus subscription, starting at $3.99 per month, for cloud storage and advanced detection features. However, local storage is an option with the addition of a Blink Sync Module.
The expanded range includes the Mini Pan-Tilt 2K+ ($50), an indoor/outdoor PTZ camera with 350-degree panning, and the Spotlight 2K+ ($110), an outdoor camera with four 400-lumen spotlights.
For remote monitoring, Blink offers the Frontier XR+ and Outdoor 2K XR+ cameras. These utilize a Sync Module XR+ hub for extended range, with the Frontier model reaching up to 7,000 feet in clear sight. These are ideal for monitoring distant outbuildings or remote sites.
All new Blink cameras are available for pre-order, with release dates set for October 27, 2026, or January 1, 2027, depending on the specific model.
