When it comes to home security cameras, names like Ring are the ones people repeat time and again.
But a new — and more affordable — brand is currently making waves on Amazon Australia, thanks to its battery-powered and Alexa-integrated security camera that captures sharp daytime video wherever you are.

Described as a “wireless smart security camera with up to two years of battery life that helps protect what matters most, from the Blink app on your smartphone”, shoppers are already raving about the $149 buy and how good it is.
The camera not only lets you see and speak to the people via the Blink app, but it also has infrared night vision so you can keep an eye on your home at night when you’re not there too.
One of the main things that sets the Blink camera apart from others on the market is its impressive two-year battery life.
Others who love the idea of a smart home will be into the fact that it seamlessly integrates with Alexa.
Simply connect to an Alexa-enabled device to engage live view, arm and disarm your system, and more using your voice.
Some of Blink’s best features are hidden behind a subscription, which you can access in Australia for around $4.95 per month for one device or $15 per month for an unlimited number of Blink cameras.
But for basic home security, the camera will work by itself.
You can also buy two Blink Outdoor Cameras for $279, three for $399, while five cameras are currently marked down to $249 from $599.
Over on Amazon Australia, there is a raft of five-star reviews for Blink.
“This system is so good! The hardest part about the setup for me was remembering my WiFi password!!!” one shopper wrote.
“I am spewing that I bought the add on module because it comes with one... I literally thought given the price I’d have to buy all the extras but NO. This kit gives you absolutely everything you need to set up home monitoring.”
Another added: “I have been on the hunt for the perfect security camera for MONTHS now. Then this product came recommended to me by a friend.
“I wanted one that was wireless, had night vision, could be used outdoors, good quality picture, had an external storage option not just subscription only, and had two way talk through. This met all my requirements at an affordable price!”
A third described the camera simply as “small and convenient”.
Blink have other items for sale on Amazon Australia, too, including a Mini Camera for $69.
