We all want to keep our homes as safe as possible. From security systems to motion-detecting lights, there are plenty of ways to ensure your home, and the people inside, feel secure.
One way to help provide peace of mind that your home is safe from potential intruders or porch pirates is with security cameras. In addition to keeping a watchful eye on your home's exterior, many people opt to use video cameras inside their homes to help keep an eye on children, pets and even elderly relatives who may be living alone.
If you're looking to add security cameras to your home, you might want to check out Amazon Canada's latest sale. The online retailer is offering shoppers the chance to save up to 47% on indoor and outdoor security cameras from Blink, including the brand's Outdoor two-camera kit that's earned more than 5,000 customer reviews.
Blink Home Smart Security Cameras
The details
Blink’s Outdoor wireless security camera with infrared night vision include two AA lithium batteries with a battery-life of up to two years. The camera set is designed with withstand the elements and provide motion detection alerts on your phone and store video clips and photos in the cloud with the Blink Subscription Plan.
Blink’s cameras feature two-way audio to speak and interact with visitors and can be controlled by voice on Alexa-enabled devices.
What people are saying
Blink’s outdoor wireless cameras have earned a 4.3-star rating based on more than 5,400 customer reviews.
The easy to set-up cameras have been called an “inexpensive” camera option that can double as a video doorbell for anyone working from home or looking to keep an eye on their front door from afar.
“The video and image quality is excellent,” one shopper wrote, adding that Blink provides “clear” night vision footage.
“The camera produces very crisp and pictures and video,” another said.
“It has great night vision even in some of our poorly lit areas,” said a customer who lives in a rural area with “poor” internet.
Aside from the positive feedback from customers, there are somethings to consider. Some reviews mention there is a “slight” delay in notifications from the camera and corresponding app.
Another thing shoppers have mentioned is that if you purchase a set of cameras, you can’t create individual schedules or preferences for each camera — they act as a unit. So, if you have a camera at your back door and one at your front door, their schedules will be the same, even if you use one camera more than the other.
Verdict
If you're looking for an inexpensive way to up your home security, Blink's Home Smart Security might be for you. However, if you're looking to have multiple cameras with different settings, this on-sale set of wireless cameras might not be the way to go.
