Blink.
QUICK SUMMARY

Amazon has unveiled the new Blink Outdoor 2K Plus camera ($89.99) which boasts an impressive battery life lasting up to a year on just two AA batteries thanks to custom silicon tech.

For now, the Outdoor 2K Plus appears to be exclusive to the US and Canada, whilst UK announcements have focused on the Mini 2K+, the Outdoor Floodlight Camera and the Arc.

If you’re not already tuned in, Amazon’s live event is happening right now, and it’s been jam-packed with hardware reveals. After unveiling a whole new line of Ring devices, the spotlight quickly shifted to Blink – and that’s where things got really interesting.

The brand just announced the Blink Outdoor 2K Plus, a camera you can pretty much stick anywhere thanks to its insane battery life that lasts for years. All for just $89.99, it dropped alongside the super affordable Blink Mini 2K Plus and the new Blink Arc.

Amazon says the long battery life comes down to custom silicon that squeezes every bit of efficiency from two AA batteries, keeping the camera running for around a year before you even think about replacements.

Right now, it looks like the Blink Outdoor 2K Plus is exclusive to the US and Canada, since Amazon’s UK updates only mention the Blink Mini 2K+, the Blink Outdoor Floodlight Camera and the Blink Arc – but we’ll keep an eye out for more details.
