Video doorbells, now more affordable and capable than ever, are a great way to keep an eye on your home while you’re away, serving as a security camera.
For those seeking a bargain without wanting to fully commit, Amazon has an offer that might be worth considering. The Blink Doorbell camera is currently priced at £28.99, down from its original price of £49.99 for a limited period. Given this price, it’s certainly worth thinking about.
The camera enables Brits to answer their door from anywhere using their smartphone, with 1080p HD day and infrared night video, and two-way audio. Blink boasts of long-lasting battery life, customised alerts, and privacy settings.

For shoppers concerned about the set-up process, it can be completed within minutes using the two included AA lithium batteries and then connected to Wi-Fi via the app. The newly designed internal battery seal also offers an IP54 weather resistance rating to protect against Britain’s harsh weather conditions, reports the Express.
Unlike Ring, Blink allows customers to store clips and videos on a separate device without the need for a subscription fee.
For those wanting some alternatives, there’s the Ring Battery Video Doorbell for £79.99. It comes with extremely quick set-up within five minutes and high-definition video recording. There’s also the Arlo video doorbell that comes in for a slightly more expensive £95.99 – and it comes with 2K cameras and person/package detection.

It’s easy to set up and cheap so shoppers can keep an eye on their home while they’re away.
Shoppers are singing praises for the Blink doorbell, with one enthusing: “Now, I’m all for keeping an eye on the doorstep, especially with the little ones running about. This Blink Video Doorbell does just the trick, and it doesn’t need any wires, which is a bonus for those of us who aren’t keen on DIY.
“Setting it up was fairly straightforward, though it took a few tries to get the hang of it. First, you pop in the batteries and connect the Sync Module 2 to your Wi-Fi.
“Then, you download the Blink app, create an account, and add the doorbell and module. The app guides you through the rest, which is basically scanning QR codes and following on-screen instructions.
“The picture quality is decent, even in the evenings. I can clearly see who’s at the door, even if they’re lurking in the shadows. The two-way talk feature is handy too – I can tell the postie where to leave a parcel, or have a quick chat with the neighbours without having to open the door.”
Yet, not everyone is delighted; some have raised issues about battery life. One shopper pointed out, “Great piece of kit that works really well with the other blink products I have, as well as Alexa.
“My issue is battery life. I have had it for two months and four days, and I am about to change the batteries for the second time. I’m not sure if this is just mine, but it is slightly annoying. The listing says long battery life, but it really isn’t.”
