Blink makes some of the best home security cameras you can buy right now, but with wide range of models available, working out which one is best for your needs can be difficult. Below, I've pulled together a simple guide to your options — and now's a great time to buy. Amazon Prime Day starts next week (June 23-26), and because Blink is an Amazon-owned brand we're expecting plenty of discounts across the range — in fact, most of the deals seem to have gone live already, and they're big. I've included all the details below.

I'm starting with the Outdoor range of battery-powered, weatherproofed security cameras, spearheaded by the Outdoor 4 and the Outdoor 2K+ lines. Both of these lines require a Sync module to work, and Amazon sells bundles to help you save if you want more than one camera. Next, I've covered the Mini lineup of mains-powered indoor cameras, including the Mini 2K+ and Mini Pan-Tilt. I've put together a key specs table to help you compare your options — aside from the power setup and waterproofing, the main differences to consider are image quality (it'll either be 1080p or 2K) and field of view.

Read on for a closer look at your Blink home security camera options, and all the information you need to help you figure out which one's right for your home.

Blink Outdoor 4: models, details & deals

The Outdoor 2K+ is the brand's battery-powered, weatherproofed security cam line, alongside the Outdoor 2K+ (below). It has lower video resolution (1080p) but a slightly wider field of view. It's weatherproofed, and runs off two AA batteries — these have a claimed two-year battery life, so you won't have to worry about constantly replacing them.

In the US, this model is also available in an XR+ (extended range) version, which comes with an special Sync module that boosts the range by 10x compared to cameras connected using Wi-Fi on its own.

It can also be part of a Wireless Floodlight Camera, which adds 600 (US) or 700 (UK) LED floodlights either side of the camera. In the US, there's also a Wired Floodlight Camera, with significantly brighter 2600-lumen lights.
