Amazon has released one New blink video doorbell It comes with some new features and updates for cameras. And at $ 60, the new doorbell cam remains inexpensive – it is necessary, as it has to compete with the ring, which is also the owner of Amazon, one of the best video doorbells.
If you already own a blink video doorbell, the upgrade can’t get you out and pick up a new, but if you are looking for a new or update, there are some notable improvements.
To begin, the latest blink video Doorbel has a new “head-to-to” HD Live view with 1: 1 aspect ratio. This means that you should get another whole view of what is happening outside your door.
The camera also has an area of 150 degrees, which is a decent collision with 135 degrees in the previous generation. The camera is also getting a high resolution of 1440p as compared to 1080p.
Finally, this is a better IP65 rating that better oppose bad weather.
The blink is rated to last two years on the AA battery trio, which is similar to the previous generation.
A new feature is about to detect the person, who sends you an alert when a human being is at your door, rather than an animal or other detected movements. it’s a requirement Nap subscription plan,
Sink module is required
A major difference between the new blink and the old is that you need a sync module core hub, which is necessary to use doorbells, and is sold separately.
By itself, the cost of the doorbell is $ 59.99, with the cost to $ 79.99 when bundled with the hub. Originally, this hub lets you store your video feed locally. If you do not consider the cloud to be bad, you can sign up for $ 3-Mahine’s blinking subscription that can store 60 days video.
There are expensive options to increase your local storage Sink module 2 ($ 50) In which 256GB USB flash drive can be attached or Sync module xR ($ 70) that contains a microSD card slot. If you care about local storage, they are your best bets. The hub lets you control other blink devices such as the Blink Mini and Mini 2.
