The new Blink Video Doorbell (2nd Gen, latest model) regularly retails for $70, which is a bit more than the first-gen model that came out four years ago. And while everything is a little more expensive these days, right now you can take advantage of an early Prime Day deal and snag this excellent camera for only $35. That's a 50% discount on a brand new smart video doorbell.

So, what are you getting from this video doorbell? First, it works with a wire-free or wired installation, making it easy for multiple home types. You can power things with three AA batteries or wire it into your existing power source. When wired, it'll use your existing doorbell chime. If you take the wireless route, Blink will sell a wireless chime in the future, but it'll also pair with Alexa, Blink Mini indoor cameras, and more to alert you when there's a visitor.

The kit includes everything you'd need for both install styles, and a sync module, making it easy to check package deliveries or see who's knocking from the Blink companion app.

This Blink Video Doorbell has a redesigned sync module that's smaller and more efficient than older models, which helps improve battery life. However, the biggest change is the wider head-to-toe field of view. You'll be able to see all the happenings on your porch in crystal-clear 1080p video.

Naturally, it has infrared night vision, two-way audio, and a slew of features you'll find on most video doorbells. That said, most of the extras, like person detection, cloud storage, and other enhanced features, are only available to Blink subscription users. Either way, this is a solid little camera for only $35. Grab yours before they're gone.
