Blink gets a wired floodlight camera and a pan-and-tilt mount

Add as a preferred source on Google

Amazon didn’t pull any punches during its Devices & Services event, announcing a slew of new gadgets that’ll help customers build their perfect smart home. The Blink lineup was a particular standout, with both the Blink Wired Floodlight Camera and Blink Mini Pan Tilt mount getting an official reveal during the livestream.

The Amazon-owned Blink already offered a robust lineup of cameras and security systems, but a wired floodlight was noticeably missing from its catalog. That’ll change within the next few months with the arrival of the aptly named Blink Wired Floodlight Camera. Offering 2,600 lumens of LED lighting, 1080p footage, two-way audio, and a simple setup that doesn’t require professional know-how, the new floodlight is hoping to be a reliable security device that doesn’t break the bank.

We don’t have a specific launch date for the smart home product, but Amazon revealed the Blink Wired Floodlight Camera will clock in at $100 — which puts it in line with the Wyze Outdoor Floodlight.

Amazon also showcased the Blink Mini Pan Tilt mount. This $30 mount is compatible with the current Blink Mini and will allow you to remotely pan the device horizontally and vertically. If you don’t own a Blink Mini, a bundle will be available at launch that offers both the mount and camera for $60. Pre-orders for the Blink Mini Pan Tilt mount are now open.

Amazon’s Devices & Services event was filled with impressive reveals. Blink was a big part of the livestream, but be sure to check out our full coverage of the invite-only event to see the entire lineup of smart home innovations coming your way.

Pet tech is ridiculous, and I hate how badly I want it
Smart feeders, GPS collars, pet cameras, and health trackers all feel like anxiety with Wi-Fi. The annoying part is that some of them might actually help
Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

One of my cats recently caught some kind of bug, which meant a vet visit, blood tests, and about $135 poorer. After all that, it turned out to be a normal fever. Good news for the cat. Slightly humiliating news for the me who spent the next few hours wondering whether a gadget could've helped me panic more efficiently.

That's the problem with pet tech. It sounds ridiculous until life gives you one weird symptom, one missed meal, or one unusually quiet afternoon. There are feeders that portion meals from an app, collars that track escape artists, cameras that let owners spy on naps, and water fountains that monitor drinking habits because apparently even the bowl needed analytics.
