Blink Security Camera October Prime Day Deals for 2023

Prime Day October has officially begun! And it’s no surprise that every year, Prime members from all corners of the globe eagerly anticipate the arrival of these big sales. Without fail, Amazon continues to surpass all expectations, making each Prime Day bigger and better than the last.

And Amazon seems to be starting a new sales tradition. Last year, they hosted the first-of-its-kind October Prime Day, formally known as the Prime Early Access Sale. This year, the e-tailer is back at it with another Prime-exclusive October sale: The Prime Big Deal Days sale, which is happening now!

We all know what that means for our favorite little Amazon security camera brand Blink. As it stands, Blink has a special place in the upcoming sale, which is good news for all Blink shoppers.

Blink Invite-Only Deals: Prime Big Deal Days 2023

The Prime Big Deal Days sale started early for Blink. As far back as three weeks before the sale, Amazon launched an invite-only deal for a set of three Blink Outdoor 3 cameras and a Sync Module 2. This set normally costs $249.99, but for those who signed up for an invite, the package is now for sale for $99.99. That’s 60-percent off the regular price.

If you were able to sign up for the deal in advance, you may now check-out your discounted package. If not, here are other Blink deals for Prime Big Deal Days 2023.

Other Ways You Can Save

As it turned out, that invite-only deal is just one of the dozen Prime Big Deal Days offers from Blink. To make it simple, we categorized the deals based on whether they include individual cameras or part of a multi-camera bundle.

Individual Cameras

Almost every single Blink camera is on sale – the only exception is the Blink Indoor. And the discounts? Up to 60-percent off.

Just a word of advice, though: Prepare a shopping list. Blink cameras usually sell out fast. In July, stocks for the Blink Outdoor and Blink Mini were already running low when we checked them on the second day of the event. If you can, place your order within the first few hours of the sale to ensure stock availability.

Multi-Camera Bundles

More discounts are up for grabs for those looking to buy multiple Blink cameras, either two or more of the same type or different models purchased together as a bundle.

Blink bundles represent significant savings even outside Prime Day, but during Prime Day, the savings balloon up to 60-percent, as you can see above. Blink is a home security brand that specializes in security cameras, so if you’re looking to commit to Blink and use its products to protect your home, Prime-exclusive sales are usually a good time to buy multiple Blink cameras.

Not sure which Blink camera to buy? Check out our Blink camera review for a refresher course of each Blink camera. And when you’re out hunting for deals, check out Blink’s normal-day pricing below to compare how much you can potentially save.

Pricing

Blink is known for being affordable, which ironically, makes it harder to discern a good deal. A 20 percent discount sounds like a good deal, for example, but it translates to only a $7 savings when applied to the $34.99 Blink Mini. So it’s best to know Blink’s regular pricing as a reference point when comparing how much you’re saving.

Cameras and Packages

You might have heard of Wyze Cam, the sub-$30 camera that instantly went viral after its initial release. The Blink Mini, Blink’s cheapest camera, is its closest competitor. At $34.99, it costs only a few dollars more than the Wyze Cam, and it boasts a sleeker and more modern design than the cube-shaped camera. (Check our Wyze Cam review to see what we mean.) In terms of features, you’re getting the same functionalities from either cameras: 1080p resolution, infrared night vision, two-way audio, and integrations with Alexa.

The Blink Mini becomes even more affordable if you buy multiple cameras. You’ll save $5 by buying two Blink Minis, cutting the bundle price down to $64.99. The same is true for the other Blink cameras. The Blink Indoor, a battery-powered indoor camera with a two-year battery life, costs $79.99, but a bundle of two Blink Indoors costs $139.99, a $20 discount. Here’s a more complete price list.

Save More With Bundles

Aside from multi-camera bundles, you can save more by bundling Blink cameras with Echo devices. Amazon owns the Blink company, and as such, Blink cameras work well with Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant. By pairing Blink cameras with an Echo smart display, you can unlock features like hands-free streaming and playback.

Unlike last year, though, we’re not seeing a lot of Blink and Alexa bundles.

For comparison’s sake, here are some of the bundles from last year, which reflect discounts of up to 60-percent.

Blink Behind The Scenes

Blink is a company that flies beneath the radar, especially when it’s compared to Amazon’s other smart home company Ring, often the subject of privacy and surveillance scandals. So, we wanted to learn a little bit more about the company behind the cameras. Blink began its life in 2009 as Immedia Semiconductor Inc in Andover, Massachusetts, raising $800,000 from a Kickstarter campaign five years later. But it wasn’t until 2017 that Amazon bought the company for an undisclosed amount.1

So far, Blink has been relatively scandal-free, save for a security breach in 2019. However, Amazon released patches for this vulnerability quickly and had its users update their firmware ASAP. Since data breaches are pretty common, Blink still has a fine reputation when it comes to privacy and security.

Conclusion

You don’t want to miss Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days 2023 sale, especially if you’re looking for security cameras to protect your home. Blink, alongside its sister company Ring, offers some of the best security camera deals you’ll find during the sale.
