With the holidays coming up, many of us will travel to loved ones, leaving our own homes empty. Instead of being on edge, investing in a home security camera lets you keep eyes on your property from virtually anywhere. One option we love is the Blink Outdoor 4 security cam. Right now, Amazon has slashed its price by over 60%, bringing the cost to just $40. Normally, a two-pack costs $180, so this deal is definitely worth taking advantage of. It even makes for a great holiday gift.
CNET’s home security expert Tyler Lacoma checked out the Blink Outdoor 4 and praised it in basically every area: “The Blink Outdoor 4 occupies a sweet spot in the outdoor security world, a general-use cam ready for the elements and providing high-quality services with a simple-to-use interface.” He also says that, while some of the specs aren’t necessarily the best on the market, the cameras do very well for how much they cost and that the ease of use and installation are big benefits, too.
