Blink is a well-known Best security Camera brand that provides wireless, rechargeable cameras for inside and outside use. However, what is the real cost of Blink? The initial costs of Blink cameras and systems, as well as the recurring subscription expenses, will be discussed.

Upfront Camera Costs

Blink offers three main camera models: these are the Blink Mini, Blink Indoor, and Blink Outdoor. 

Blink Mini

  • Cost: $34. 99 per camera
  • Blink’s cheapest camera configuration
  • Small size is suitable for indoor use, Measuring 38 inches in height by 25 inches in width.
  • HD video at 1080p, motion detection, night vision

Blink Indoor

  • Cost: It costs $79. 99 per camera, and it offers a monthly cloud storage allowance, which you can upgrade for a fee if necessary.
  • Wire-free indoor camera with the longest battery life
  • Full HD 1080p video, motion, and sound triggering
  • Comes with a mounting kit and has a battery life of up to two years.

Blink Outdoor

  • Cost: $99. 99 per camera
  • This is a wireless camera that can be used outdoors/indoors, and it has a battery life of up to two years.
  • full HD 1080p video, motion sensing, infrared capability
  • Weather-resistant design

Many individuals purchase Blink cameras in multi-camera sets, and although they may be slightly cheaper than purchasing each camera separately, they are still relatively expensive.

Blink Mini 2-pack: A total of 64. 98% of the respondents agreed with the notion that it is important to have a systematic approach while planning and conducting research.

  • Blink Indoor 3-pack: It also costs $199. 99.
  • Blink Outdoor 3-pack: $249. 99
  • Blink Outdoor 5-pack: >$374. 99

That way, you can save between $10-$15 per camera if you buy the packs than the individual cameras. When you purchase cameras, the price reduces with each successive quantity that you purchase.

Blink System Costs

Well, to connect your Blink cameras and watch the video, you must have a Blink sync module. The Blink sync module enables your cameras to connect to Wi-Fi for app connection. There are both wired and wireless sync module options: 

Blink Sync Module 2 (wireless): $34. 99 This is the newest Blink wireless sync module. It supports up to 10 Blink cameras and has a longer range of Wi-Fi connectivity compared to the previous models. Video storage is possible with a paid subscription plan (for more details – below).

Blink Mini system (wired): 59. 98$ This wired system consists of 1 x Blink Mini camera along with the Blink Sync Module 2 that is plugged by an ethernet cable to your router. Another feature is the ability of this system to store the footage locally on the USB of the sync module. Still, you can only connect Blink Minis and not other camera models that are compatible with Blink systems.

Therefore, depending on the specific model, you’ll need to spend about $35 to $60 on top of the camera cost for the required sync module.

Subscription Costs

While Blink cameras are relatively affordable upfront, you will have to pay an ongoing subscription fee to get full functionality from your system: 

Blink Subscription Plans

  • Basic plan: It costs $3 monthly or $30 annually for each camera. Covering motion-activated video clip recording with rolling 14-30 day cloud storage of clips
  • Plus plan: $10 monthly or $100 yearly for every Home Security System Includes 60 days of clip storage, special activity areas, and two-factor authentication.

In the basic plan, the users can use common features such as armed/disarmed modes, custom routines, and viewing live streams in the mobile application. Nevertheless, video clip storage is restricted to a shorter rolling period in case of no plus add-on.

Therefore, three Blink Outdoor cameras on the Plus Plan would cost $30 per month or $300 per year.

To avoid paying, one can use the wired Blink Mini system and store the footage on a USB drive connected to the camera’s Sync Module 2. Still, you will not be able to enjoy such benefits as cloud storage and longer battery duration of the wireless models.

In summary, expect to spend: 

$35 – $100 per camera $35 – $60 for the sync module that is mandatory Subscription per camera costs $3 -$10 monthly (Optional)

It turns out that while the Blink security system comprises 3-5 cameras and a subscription plan, most of the customers pay between 150 – 500 dollars to have their Blink system up and running.

The cheapest option is to buy the 2-cam Blink Mini kit for $65 more or less, with the basic cloud storage subscriptions costing about $30 per year. However, it is possible to pay over $500 for 5 Outdoor cameras with improved vision abilities and 60 days of cloud clip storage.

From battery life to video quality, Blink offers value and flexibility at each price point the company targets to achieve. Take a step back and evaluate your needs to determine what amount and types of Blink hardware and services are right for your home or business security. But do not forget the recurrent expenses – cameras are only one side of the security system management throughout the year.
