Pick up a Blink Outdoor 4 camera for as low as $45 ahead of Prime Day
As to be expected, we're seeing many early deals in the lead up to Prime Day 2025, which starts on July 8. Blink Outdoor 4 cameras are among them, with discounts up to 62 percent on a bunch of bundles. If you're just starting out, you can get a one-camera system for only $45, 55 percent off its usual price. That gives you one security camera and the Sync Module 2, which lets you expand and connect more cameras down the line. If you want to start off with more, a three-pack is 62 percent off and down to only $100. Blink cameras that come with battery extension packs are on sale, as well. The Blink Outdoor 4 already has a two-year battery life, but the units with extension packs can last for up to four years before their batteries need to be replaced. A two-camera bundle with battery extension packs is on sale for $90, down $125 from $215. Meanwhile, the five-camera bundle with battery packs is down to $210 from $460, though you can also get a single camera and a pack of three. The Blink Outdoor 4 cameras can provide live views of the area in 1080p, has infrared night vision and two-way audio. They can also alert you to motion faster than their predecessors. Take note that the cameras come with a free 30-day trial of the Blink Subscription Plus Plan, which adds the ability to notify you about any person the cameras detect, as well as the ability to store footage in the cloud. The subscription costs $10 a month or $100 a year after the trial period ends. In addition to pure Blink Outdoor 4 bundles, the sale also includes packs with Blink video doorbells, the Blink Mini and a system hub that extends the range of what the camera can see.

8 Amazing Pet Gadgets that Your Dog or Cat Will Love
From leaving home for work to planning trips or big weekends, we at CNET are always thinking about how to protect and care for our wonderful pets. If you're one of the 62% of Americans who own a pet, you're probably thinking the same. To find the best tech to keep your furry friends, happy and safe, we've tested dozens of toys, collars, cameras and accessories to please your pet. 1. Pet camera A camera that delivers treats is an endlessly useful pet gadget. Petcube I love my pet camera and consider it my number one must-have when it comes to caring for Walter, who has long dealt with separation anxiety. When we relocated from the Midwest to New York City, he had a hard time adjusting to a new space. Having a pet camera gave me much-needed peace of mind when we left him in the apartment, because I was able to see that when we left, he was relaxing on the couch rather than barking at the door, waiting for us to return. I use the Blink Mini camera as a simple way to view him throughout the day, but I recently had the opportunity to test the Petcube Cam 360 and Petcube Bites 2 Lite. These have been great additions because now that we've moved into a larger apartment, the Petcube Cam 360 covers much more space with its 360-degree rotation. Both Petcube cameras offer a crisper image, and I have loved being able to toss Walter a treat with the Petcube Bites 2 Lite camera. The built-in treat dispenser allows you to toss a treat on the Petcube app remotely from your phone. For being a usually timid dog, the noise the camera makes when it's preparing to toss the treat does not seem to bother him, and he's always happy to get a snack throughout the day. 2. GPS Collar Nowhere does it say that a tracking collar can't look cool, too. Tractive The number one responsibility in caring for our pets is to, well, keep track of them. There are numerous gadgets on the market that help us do this, and experts warn against using AirTags. Instead, they suggest safer alternatives, including microchipping your pet and investing in a GPS collar such as Tractive. Tractive offers both dog and cat collars that glow and track your pet's location and activity and can even send you health alerts if necessary. There are other options on the market too, and you can read our full review of the Petcube tracker here. 3. Smart pet door The Sure Flap lets you know when your pets have exited or entered the house. Sure Flap If you have a yard, you may love the idea of a cat or doggy door but may also be worried about letting other animals into your home. Sure Petcare has a solution. The SureFlap Microchip Pet Door scans your pet's microchip before letting them inside your home. One thing to keep in mind is that to get this smart pet door to work, you have to purchase a separate hub to connect the door to the necessary app. Sure Petcare offers a bundle with both for $369. 4. Automatic feeder This automatic pet feeder is both useful and aesthetically pleasing. Pet Libro Sometimes no matter how hard you try to plan, we just don't make it home in time to feed your pet by dinnertime. This is where an automatic feeder comes in handy. The Petlibro Air Automatic Dog & Cat Bowl Feeder is a highly-rated feeder that works for cats and dogs. The battery-operated feeder features a flashing light that will turn on when the feeder is low, so you never need to worry about a lapse in feeding. Whether you want to sleep in on weekends or keep your pet on a strict feeding schedule due to health concerns, an automatic feeder is a great option. 5. Heartbeat toy This toy can help with separation anxiety. Weok If you have a new pet or one with separation anxiety, a Weok heartbeat puppy toy might become your new best friend. Inside the stuffed animal is a device that mimics a heartbeat, which offers comfort to your pet when you're not home or if they are in a crate. Amazon reviewers say their pets love to snuggle with and sleep next to the stuffed animal. The battery-operated heartbeat can play for up to eight hours at a time. It can also be easily removed from the stuffed animal if you need to wash the toy. Read more: 7 Scientific Ways Your Pet Is Helping Your Mental Health 6. Electric ball launcher Now fetch can happen all day, every day.. Joyhound The Joyhound Electronic Ball Launcher is a great addition to your dog's toy box. It has an impressive launch range between 10 and 40 feet and comes with three tennis balls that are ideal for catching. If you have a highly energetic dog, it's a great way to help wear them out without wearing yourself out too. 7. Self-cleaning litter box Hate scooping litter? Whisker's Litter Robot enables you to bypass that chore Whisker Cleaning your cat's litter box doesn't have to be a chore now that self-cleaning litter boxes are on the market. Although they do boast a high price tag, the Whisker Litter-Robot 4 promises you'll never have to scoop again. In addition to self-cleaning, the litter box can help keep track of your cat's weight. One litter box can be used for up to four cats and is suitable for kittens. You can read our full review of Whisker Litter-Robot 4 here and decide if it's the right fit for you. 8. Pupsicle I'd gladly spend $20 on a toy that keeps my pup occupied for up to 30 minutes. Woof This might be the most analog of the gadgets on our list, but it might also be the one your dog loves best. The rolling treat cage comes in three sizes and is designed to keep your dog busy as it licks away at a peanut butter treat ball placed strategically in the center. My 12-pound terrier loves them and the Pupsicle keeps him in occupied for up to 20 minutes as he tries feverishly to get at the treat. The silicone ball easily unscrews to refill with a new treat ball made at home with special molds or bought premade by the bag full.

Pick up two Blink Mini security cameras for only $38
Last month, a pack of two Blink Mini 2 security cameras was $40, down from $80. They're currently 46 percent off at $38, meaning you get two for less than the price of one. These are also the latest model, offering advantages previous iterations don't have. The Blink Mini 2 security camera captures live video in 1080p HD, and there's also a night HD view. If you have a Blink Subscription Plan, you can stream continuously for 90 minutes. The plan is sold separately, of course, but this package comes with a 30-day free trial to let you have a taste of these extra features. The subscription also grants access to more features like motion detection alerts and clip-saving. You can even send clips to others later. The newest model comes with a spotlight for improved night visibility and has a wider field of view, 143 degrees up from 110 degrees that the original Blink Mini has. It's also compatible with Amazon's Alexa, allowing you to see what's going on outside with just a few words.
