"Amazon's budget Blink smart home brand is adding AI-generated video descriptions as a new benefit for subscribers. Blink Video Descriptions are text descriptions of the motion doorbells and cameras capture, and they'll be available in beta starting today, November 17. Not unlike Ring Video Descriptions, a feature offered on Amazon's other smart home brand, Blink's AI-generated descriptions are supposed to be a concise way to check out what's happening in and around your home."
"Any kind of motion can produce a video clip and a notification in the Blink app, but video descriptions should help weed out which ones are worth watching and worrying about. Blink says Video Descriptions will be supported on all existing Blink doorbells and cameras, provided you're paying to be a Blink subscriber for at least $4 a month or $40 a year."
Blink Video Descriptions generate short text descriptions of motion captured by Blink doorbells and cameras to summarize activity. The descriptions aim to help users quickly determine which motion events deserve attention. The feature is available to Blink subscribers for at least $4 per month or $40 per year and supports existing Blink models including Blink 2K+, Blink Outdoor 2K+ and Blink Arc. The feature enters beta starting November 17. Any motion can trigger a clip and notification in the Blink app, and text descriptions should reduce unnecessary alerts. The rollout excludes Illinois, likely because of the state's Biometric Information Privacy Act.
