We’re excited to share that Blink’s newest feature, image notification, is now available on Android and iOS devices. Use image notification to see a snapshot from your Blink device without ever opening the app. These snapshots give you a quick glimpse in real time, so you immediately know if you need to open live view for a closer look or if you’d rather review the video later. For iOS devices, “long press” on a notification to see the snapshot. For Android users, simply click on the notification down arrow. Learn more by visiting Blink support here.

Introducing the New Blink Outdoor and Indoor
Introducing the new wireless, battery-powered cameras from Blink and Amazon! With a sleek new design and features, Blink Outdoor and Indoor smart home security cameras go where wires can’t to help you protect what matters most. Get even more coverage outside your home with the new weather-resistant Outdoor cam.
With the Blink Home Monitor app, you can see a live view of your home in HD, receive motion detection alerts, and use two-way audio to speak to people or pets right on your phone. You can also create custom “activity zones” to cut down on unnecessary alerts in high-traffic areas as well as remove sections in your camera’s field-of-view from video recording using Blink’s all-new “privacy zone” feature. Outdoor and Indoor are also compatible with the new Battery Expansion Pack (coming soon) which doubles the battery life of your camera – a total of up to four years. Plus, they both work with select Alexa-enabled devices!
In addition to features like live view and motion detection that come with each camera, you can record and share clips and photos in the app by choosing from two flexible storage options. Want the convenience and added benefits of cloud storage? A free trial of the Blink Subscription Plan comes with the purchase of every new Blink Outdoor and Indoor! The Blink Subscription Plan starts at just $3 a month per device – no annual contract required! Store clips locally for no additional fee using the included Sync Module 2 and a USB flash drive (sold separately). Existing Blink customers with accounts created before April 15, 2020 will receive free storage on any devices added to their existing account.
Starting at $99.99, Blink Outdoor and Indoor are available for pre-order in the U.S. on Amazon and Best Buy.
New SmartHome Skill Features for XT2 and Mini
Alexa Motion Announcements and Routine Trigger Now Available
We’re excited to announce the launch of our newest Blink SmartHome Skill features, Motion Announcements and Routine Triggers, now available on Blink XT2 and Mini cameras.
Motion Announcements are audible notification features for select paired Echo devices triggered by your supported Blink cameras (XT2 and Mini). Upon motion detection, Alexa will announce “Motion detected at [camera name].”
To enable Motion Announcements, go to your Alexa app. Under your paired camera’s settings, switch the “Motion Announcement” toggle to “on.”
Routine Triggers allows you to set recurring actions of your choice for Alexa to automatically perform. For example, you can use Routine Triggers to automatically turn on smart lighting each time your Blink camera detects motion. Alternatively, Routine Triggers can turn off your smart lights when no motion has been detected for a set period of time.
To create a Trigger, go to your Alexa app, tap the hamburger (3 line) menu and select “Routines” to customize your experience!
For added convenience, we recommend enabling “Early Notifications” in your Blink camera’s settings so you can receive an audible notification on your Echo device as soon as the motion detection is triggered. Using any connected Alexa device with a screen, you can ask, “Alexa, show me [camera name]” to view the motion event or inactivity that triggered the routine. For more detailed instructions, please visit our Support pages for Motion Announcements here and Routine Triggers here.
