On the last day of Amazon's Prime Day event, there's no getting away from the sheer amazing value of Blink cameras.
Sure, as the expert I might want to point you to other features on pricier models, but to be honest what you can do with a very small amount of money with the Blink cameras especially is mind-blowing and – as an Amazon-owned company – Blink is getting some very striking discounts.
These are the ones I think are especially noteworthy, including not only the ever-so-slightly refined Blink Mini 2. Because the best advantage of the update is for outdoor use, the Blink Mini – which still have the same 1080p resolution – is getting less attention, but it has an arguably cooler feature – the pan-tilt base.
That seems to amount to amazing discounting – a camera you can remotely point in different directions for a smidge over $20. How could you not?

As the expert, my only note of caution is that to get the best of Blink (and indeed Ring – Amazon's other security camera company), you'll need to sign up to a subscription. (Yes the Blink hub can help avoid running costs, but it still lacks some features compared to the subscription, like video thumbnails, and you'll need to buy a USB stick to record to).
Admittedly a subscription and/or USB stick isn't the end of the earth. Many burglar alarm systems also expect subscriptions, so perhaps you budgeted for it already.
But I do have some other suggestions with some great deals, if you're willing to spend a bit more now (and a bit less later) on security.
And we keep a guide to the best indoor cameras.
