This Bright and Powerful Blink Floodlight Camera Is Over Half Off Right Now

When picking out a home security system, outdoor lighting is an often overlooked aspect that’s more important than you’d think. Floodlight cameras provide added peace of mind after dark by combining bright LED lighting with HD video surveillance, giving homeowners and renters better nighttime visibility and motion-activated recording—plus the lighting serves as an effective deterrent against intruders. The Blink Wired Floodlight Camera is one of the most popular no-frills options in this category, and it’s currently 55% off, bringing its price down to $44.99 (originally $99.99). That's the lowest price ever for this model, according to price-tracking tools.

With an “Excellent” rating from PCMag, this versatile smart security camera offers 1080p HD video, two-way audio, motion alerts, and a built-in 105dB siren, covering all the essentials to keep intruders at bay. While recording won’t be as crisp as with a 2K camera, the combined brightness of 2,600 lumens it produces is impressive and offers strong visibility. IP rating isn’t specified, but it's categorized as weather-resistant. It has a 143-degree field of view and uses infrared LEDs for black-and-white night vision. There aren’t advanced AI features here, which is reflected in the under-$50 price point.

While you can watch up to five minutes of live video at a time and receive motion notifications, other features will require a paid Blink subscription. The Basic Plan costs $3.99 a month or $39.99 a year and provides 60 days of video history, 90 minutes of continuous live streaming and live view recording; the pricier Plus Plan ($11.99 a month) unlocks full features and comes with an extended warranty. As an alternative storage plan, you can purchase the Blink Sync Module 2 hub for a one-time fee. The camera is compatible with Alexa and a variety of smart devices via IFTTT, but not with Apple HomeKit or Google Assistant. 

PCMag calls the performance “reliable,” and while installation isn’t too difficult, it’s not as simple to set up as a battery-powered model, so you may want to hire a professional to install it if working with electrical wiring makes you nervous. Ultimately, if you’re looking to replace a traditional floodlight or already use Blink devices, the Blink Wired Floodlight Camera is a bright, affordable, and dependable option with the added bonus of a loud siren and voice control. However, if you need features like cloud storage or person detection, you’ll need a subscription.
