ZDNET’s pick for the best budget -friendly video doorbell is now upgrading an upgrade, as Amazon has announced a new generation launch of Blink Video Doorbel. The second generation of blink video Dorbel is being released four years later; This comes with the new blink sync module core and, unfortunately, the game is a price increase.
The new blink video Doorbel is now available for $ 70, an increase in $ 20 value compared to the first model, which was $ 50 when it was released.
Also: I test smart locks for a living, and the most reliable I used is on sale for $ 130
However, high price brings some upgrades. The new blink video Doorbell has a 150-degree area, which gives you a big picture of people from head to toe and any package that can be on your porch. This is the growth from the 135-degree horizontal region of the old model (Blink never specified the vertical field of viewing for the first model).
The vision of the night is also increasing. The new model has a collision with HD Infrared Night Vision, standard IR night vision that provides old blink doorbell. The blink video doorbell uses two to two, three AA lithium batteries in the previous model, and provides a battery of up to two years.
The Sink Module is the new hub of the core blink, which enables the two -year battery life advertised by the doorbell. Each sink module core is a new version of the old sink module and can support control of up to 10 blink devices.
This new blink video doorbell now uses computer vision when it is capturing people instead of animals or objects. Blink has offered smart notifications with the detection of the person within its membership plan, but the company has upgraded the computer vision technology for the new video doorbell. This feature will be part of a blink subscription plan, which is purchased separately from the doorbell. Blink membership is available in a basic plan, which costs $ 3/month and covers a device, and Blink Plus Plan, which costs $ 10/month and includes unlimited number of blink devices.
Also: I replaced my ring with this outdoor security camera – and no membership is required.
In addition to detecting the individual, both plans offer 60 days cloud storage, video sharing, photo capture and provide. Live visual recording. The plus plan also offers a blink moment, which allows you to see a single phenomenon in a string of videos taken from several blink devices, the ability to snooze information, an extended warranty and 10% discount from the blink devices.
