Home security camera works 'flawlessly day and night' now 46 per cent off

Keeping your home safe and secure from intruders shouldn’t be overly expensive, but unfortunately home security systems don’t always come cheap. Fortunately, Amazon has slashed the price of

Blink Outdoor Wireless HD smart security camera , from £89.99 to £48.99, with a saving of 46%, and shoppers can’t stop raving about how ‘flawlessly’ it works. According to Blink, the outdoor

camera features 'infrared night vision’ making it ideal for monitoring your home’s security both during the day and at night. It also has a long-lasting battery that, Blink claims,

runs for up to two years on two AA batteries (which are included) and features ‘two-way audio’. READ MORE: I TRIED OUT THE NEW M&S BRAIN FOOD RANGE - I FELT MORE FOCUSED READ MORE: I

TESTED OUT THE VIRAL AMAZON WINDOW CLEANING VAC AND NOW I’M OBSESSED The camera - which has over 17,000 five-star reviews and an overall rating of 4.2 out of five - can be connected up to an

app, allowing you to monitor your home’s security in real time, with alerts letting you know if motion is detected or your doorbell is pressed. Shoppers have been left impressed by the

‘easy to set up and install’ home security camera, with one sharing: “Pretty good night vision, seem to hold out against the elements, good video quality and good video clip lengths. Also

great motion detection, bought doorbell too so all three cameras link together and make a long recording.” While another person added: “Easy to set up and install and any motion detected

sends a msg to my phone saying which camera has detected the motion. Cameras are not too big but the picture quality is quite good, covering the whole house and gardens. You can also fine

tune the areas that need/don't need covering ie: ours was going off when people were walking past in the street so hubby changed it to cover just the garden area. Very good value for

money.” A third reviewer revealed that they’d bought two outdoor Blink cameras, to ensure that both their driveway and front door was covered, and said: “Initial setup was incredibly easy.

The QR codes on each device made connecting to our Wi-Fi a breeze, and the included mounting templates and hardware made installation quick and straightforward. We had both cameras up and

running in no time. The video quality is excellent, both during the day and at night with the infrared night vision. We love the convenience of the live view and two-way audio features, and

the motion detection works flawlessly. We even appreciate the ability to customise motion detection zones to avoid false alerts from the busy road outside our house.” Although most shoppers

were pleased with their purchase, a small number were left disappointed, with one writing: “In general we are happy with our cameras. We are still using the original batteries a year and a

half after purchase - we do live in a quiet area! We don't have a subscription and are happy to just look at clips on USB via the sync module. That leads us to the weak point in the

whole system, the sync module. "When it randomly goes off-line there is no way to remedy that without pulling out the power lead. There is no pattern to it doing this that is obvious to

us but it is annoying. We may go months without a problem then have it go off-line frequently over a few weeks. It happened in the middle of our last holiday when we couldn't reset it.

It negates having home security if it is so dependent on one temperamental item. After that we investigated whether it would be worth having a subscription but apparently that also is

dependent on the weak link sync module.” You can get your hands on the Blink Outdoor Wireless HD smart security camera for £48.99 at Amazon, reduced from £89.99, but hurry because the sale

won’t last forever. Alternatively, Argos has the TP-Link Tapo C500 1080p Smart Wi-Fi Outdoor Cam CCTV for £44.99. Or, Ring has an Outdoor Camera for £59.99 , reduced from £89.99.
