Amazon Blink unveils its most advanced video doorbells for new budget options

Blink has always been one of my go-tos Go to security brands For affordability and long battery life, but on Wednesday, the Amazon-owned company Announce a new line in due course: The first 2K resolution Video doorbellswhich still keeps prices low.

How low? Those looking to save as much as possible should consider Blink’s first wired-only doorbell, the Wired Doorbell 2K PlusAvailable for $50. Others who prefer more flexibility may be interested Blink 2K Plus Doorbell Battery Instead, which starts at $80. Both doorbells are available for pre-order and will ship on May 20th.

Both doorbells feature Alexa support (but no compatibility with other voice assistants), head-to-toe viewing angles and two-way audio with noise cancellation. The wireless version uses three AA lithium batteries and comes with a basic sync module. You can upgrade to a larger Sync Module XR if you want to use local video storage.

These aren’t the first 2K Plus security devices released by Blink, just the first doorbells. Back in the fall of 2025, Blink announced new 2K security cameras, including an upgrade to Its long-lasting wireless outdoor camera.

A Blink representative did not immediately respond to a request for further comment.

Blink has jumped on board the AI ​​train as well

Blink subscriptions are particularly affordable compared to other brands. The Basic plan starts at $4 per month and adds cloud video storage as well as people discovery. But in 2025, Blink added an upgraded plan that includes… Artificial intelligence featuresparticularly the video descriptions you can get, along with detection alerts that aim to provide a brief summary of what the camera sees.

These description features are now common in security devices, and can actually save time or help identify certain situations, such as recognizing a delivery truck. Like the doorbells, Blink’s AI subscription is currently one of the cheapest I’ve seen on the market.

I’m arranging a product test with Blink, and will let you know once I’ve tried these new doorbells to see how they work in person.
