Blink brings 4K to its low-cost security camera lineup

Amazon is adding five cameras to Blink’s security range, including its first 4K model and its first battery-powered spotlight and pan-tilt cameras. The launch broadens the options for monitoring homes and larger properties, with models offering higher resolution, wider coverage or camera movement.

Prices range from $49.99 for the Mini Pan-Tilt 2K Plus to $199.99 for the Frontier XR Plus trail camera, which can reach up to 7,000 feet with a clear line of sight. The Outdoor 2K XR Plus reaches up to 2,700 feet in clear conditions, while the Mini 4K Plus adds Wi-Fi 6 and person and vehicle alerts. All five are available to preorder in the US; shipping dates have not been announced. Some features and 60 days of cloud storage require a subscription from $3.99 a month, while local recording is also available.
