Ring is most well-known for producing some of the best video doorbells, so its range of doorbells is understandably wider than its line of home security cameras. The Blink Video Doorbell was announced in September 2021 and is currently on sale priced at $49.99 / £49.99. However, unlike Ring, the brand doesn’t have a plethora of video doorbells - it has just one model. This home security camera features a glossy black design and costs $99.99 / £99.99. However, it's a battery-operated camera, rather than mains-powered, and uses two AA batteries that Blink claims will last for up to two years before they need changing.īlink’s third and final home security camera is a weatherproof version of the Blink Indoor, which is unsurprisingly called the Blink Outdoor. Not quite as compact as the Blink Mini but considerably smaller than most of Ring's offerings, it has the same square-shaped monochrome design and will set you back $79.99 / £79.99. If you’re looking for a battery-powered camera that offers more flexibility about where it can be placed, then the Blink Indoor is worth considering. This compact device is mains-powered so can only be used inside and is priced at $34.99 / £34.99. The Blink Mini is the brand’s entry-level home security camera. It’s also worth noting that while Ring’s cameras and video doorbells are available worldwide, Blink products are currently only on sale in the US and UK.
