Black Friday and Cyber Monday are best known for slashed prices on electronics, and when it comes to markdowns, few do it better than Amazon. That’s why, if you’re looking to buy Amazon’s Blink security cameras, you’ll want to pay attention here: Black Friday 2023 deals are here!
So on this page, let’s talk about Blink – Amazon’s brand of affordable security cameras – and see just how much we can save on Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2023.
When Is Black Friday 2023?
Officially, Black Friday 2023 falls on November 24, while Cyber Monday falls on November 27. But lo and behold, Amazon’s Black Friday sale started early, with Blink deals already up for grabs since the second week of November. So without further ado, let’s see what Blink and its parent company Amazon has in store for us.
2024 Blink Deals on Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Beyond
It’s hard to imagine that Blink’s already-affordable security cameras, which go for as low as $34.99 on normal days, can become any more affordable. But it’s Black Friday, so anything goes.
This year, Amazon has brought back some of our favorite deals from previous years, including up to 50-percent off bundles. Let’s start with the individual cameras, though. Here’s how much you can expect to pay for a Blink Mini, Blink Mini Pan-Tilt, Blink Outdoor 4 (new), Blink Wired Floodlight, or Blink Video Doorbell.
Blink cameras | Black Friday 2023 special price | Discount |
---|---|---|
Blink Mini | $19.99 | 43% |
Blink Mini Pan-Tilt | $29.99 | 50% |
Blink Outdoor 4 | $71.99 | 40% |
Blink Wired Floodlight | $49.99 | 50% |
Blink Video Doorbell | $29.99 | 50% |
Now, onto bundles. This time around, bundles from Amazon include multiple Blink cameras. It’s a little different from last year, where we saw a lot of Blink cameras bundled with Alexa smart displays, but multi-camera bundles seems to be a new strategy Amazon is trying out. We saw the same type of packages during the recently-concluded Blink Prime Big Deal Days Sale in October. In any case, here’s a short sampling of special Black Friday bundles available now.
Bundle | Regular price | Special Black Friday price |
---|---|---|
3-pack Blink Outdoor 4 | $269.99 | $134.99 (50% off) |
2-pack Blink Mini | $64.99 | $39.98 (38% off) |
Blink Whole Home Bundle (Blink Mini, Video Doorbell, and Outdoor 4) | $214.97 | $101.98 (51% off) |
2-pack Blink Outdoor 3 with Blink Video Doorbell | $239.98 | $119.98 (50% off) |
Blink Mini with Blink Video Doorbell | $94.98 | $49.98 (47% off) |
Blink Wired Floodlight Cam with Blink Video Doorbell | $159.98 | $79.98 (50% off) |
There’s more where those deals came from – which to be clear, is Amazon’s website – but before you go on a shopping spree, be sure to familiarize yourself with Blink’s current offerings.

Blink Pricing and Packages
Since Amazon acquired Blink back in 20171, Blink has launched a number of different cameras. A couple of years ago, Blink released the Blink Mini, a $34.99 wired indoor camera, followed by the Blink Indoor and Blink Outdoor, both battery-powered cameras. Last year, Blink followed up with a video doorbell and a floodlight-equipped camera, and then a mounting accessory for the Blink Mini that can turn the camera into a pan-and-tilt camera. And just this year, a new Blink Outdoor is out, the Blink Outdoor 4.
Product | Price per camera |
---|---|
Blink Mini | $34.99 |
Blink Mini Pan-Tilt | $59.99 |
Blink Video Doorbell | $49.99 |
Blink Indoor | $79.99 |
Blink Outdoor 3 | $99.99 |
Blink Outdoor 4 | $119.99 |
Blink Wired Floodlight Camera | $99.99 |
If some of these products seem familiar, that’s because they’re similar to what Ring offers, specifically the video doorbell and the floodlight-equipped camera. Take note that Blink isn’t a copycat of Ring; in fact, the two are sister companies both owned by Amazon. While Ring security cameras are superior in quality, Blink’s pricing on its cameras are lower, especially during sale events like this one.
FYI: Amazon owns both Blink and Ring, but the two companies target different markets. Blink sells affordable products, with cameras starting at only $34.99 apiece and video doorbells selling for $49.99. Ring, on the other hand, is superior in features and quality, but a little more expensive than Blink.
Cloud and Local Storage
Aside from cameras, Blink sells video storage solutions for its cameras. In the past Blink hasn’t offered discounts on its cloud storage plans, but we’ve seen discounts on bundles that include the Sync Module 2. What’s the difference between cloud storage and the Sync Module 2, you ask?
The Sync Module 2 is a base station, required for any Blink camera system with a Blink Indoor, Blink Outdoor, or Blink Video Doorbell. The Blink cameras connect to the Sync Module 2 wirelessly, and if you plug a USB flash drive into the base station, the cameras can use it as storage for videos. In other words, it’s a way to store videos locally.
On the other hand, cloud storage means that your cameras will send videos to Blink’s cloud servers, powered by Amazon Web Services. You can access your videos anytime and anywhere as long as you have an internet connection. However, cloud storage isn’t free. You can opt to not pay for a cloud plan, but that would mean that your cameras won’t be able to store videos unless you have a Sync Module 2.
