For the first time, the Blink is increasing the price of its membership plan – but it is adding some new features. And if you do it quickly, you can avoid increase in rate.
In an email to customers this week, the company explained that “since the first blink launch subscription plan,” customer will pay more every month for the Blink Basic Plan, which covers a device.

The new price for the original plan, which covers a device, is $ 4 or $ 40 per month. Earlier, the price was $ 3 per month or $ 30 per year. The Blink Plus plan, which covers unlimited equipment, will increase to $ 12 per month or $ 120 per year.
When I asked the Blink for the details, he said that if you subscribe to an annual basic or plus scheme before October 8, 2025, you can lock your current price till the date. Blink is also giving customers a chance to lock in the Blink Plus plan pricing for two or three years, a representative.
Blink launched its current membership plan in 2020, nearly three years after the purchase by Amazon.
The company’s cameras include basic functionality without membership, such as live view, motion alert and two-way audio, but if you want advanced facilities such as cloud video recording and 30-day cloud storage, you have to pay.
If you do nothing or you are on a monthly plan, you will be hit by a high price next month or when you renew. If you renew now, you can lock for two or three more years in the current value.
New features coming in your blink cameras
All this is not bad news, however, Blink also announced two new features.
The first is the blink moment, which is now available. This feature automatically combines several events that are recorded simultaneously in the same clip in all cameras, making you see more easily what is happening.

It is still available is a custom snooze for motion notifications. Currently, you have the ability to snatch information for a fixed amount of time – 30 minutes, one hour, two hours, and so on. (I often use this feature when my children are playing outside or my dogs are in the backyard.) However, you can set a custom notification silent time from one minute to 24 hours.
