How AI is used

Blink is a suite of smart security hardware and software designed for monitoring residential and small business properties. The system includes a variety of indoor and outdoor cameras, doorbells, and floodlight cameras that connect to the Blink Home Monitor app.

Small business owners can use the tool to maintain visibility over their premises, with features like two-way audio and motion alerts to stay informed about activity on-site. Certain outdoor options are designed for wireless installation in locations where wiring may be impractical.

Buyers should consider that capabilities such as AI-powered event descriptions and extended cloud storage require a monthly or annual subscription plan. Additionally, hardware compatibility for specific features like person and vehicle detection varies by camera model.
