"The new Blink Arc looks like two of Blink's standard cameras mounted together at an angle from one another so that they capture different views of the same area. The camera then stitches their footage together into a single feed with a 180-degree field of view. The camera is designed to get rid of "blind spots," Blink's marketing lead, Amy Wiedemann, said on stage today. The Arc will be available for preorder today and sell for $100."
"The Outdoor 2K Plus is battery powered and offers 4x zoom (presumably digital), "enhanced" low-light performance, and two-way talk. The Mini 2K Plus offers the same features but requires wired power and is meant to be used indoors. The Blink line has developed a reputation for budget prices, decent quality, and a focus on local-reliability, all of which makes it somewhat distinct in the smart home world."
Amazon is launching three new Blink cameras led by the Blink Arc, which pairs two cameras in one housing and stitches their footage into a single 180-degree feed to eliminate blind spots. The Arc is available for preorder at $100 with no release date specified. Two other models, the Blink Outdoor 2K Plus and Blink Mini 2K Plus, add upgraded 2K video; the Outdoor is battery-powered with 4x zoom, "enhanced" low-light performance, and two-way talk, while the Mini requires wired power for indoor use. Blink remains positioned as a budget-focused, locally reliable smart-home camera line. Amazon also revealed new Ring products with 2K/4K "Retinal Vision" video improvements.
