Extended range for large properties
Two of the new cameras pair with the Sync Module XR+ hub to reach well beyond standard Wi-Fi range. Blink says they are aimed at customers with bigger properties and hard-to-reach areas.
Blink Frontier XR+ costs $199.99 USD for a 1-camera system with Sync Module XR+. Amazon calls it Blink's farthest-reaching camera yet. It is designed as a trail cam for expansive properties and remote locations. With the Sync Module XR+, which is required, it reaches up to 7,000 feet with a clear line of sight, meaning open air and no obstruction between the outdoor-mounted hub and the camera. Blink points to uses such as watching livestock, checking a distant gate or monitoring equipment at a job site.
Blink Outdoor 2K XR+ costs $149.99 USD for a 1-camera system with Sync Module XR+. It combines 2K video with extended-range connectivity and a 115° field of view. According to Blink, it can reach up to 800 feet from the Sync Module XR+ with some trees or structures in the way, or up to 2,700 feet with a clear line of sight. Range varies with obstructions and interference, and resolution is reduced at longer ranges, with up to 1080p at max range settings.
4K, spotlight and pan-tilt models
Blink Mini 4K+ ($79.99 USD) is Blink's first 4K security camera and, in the company's words, delivers its sharpest video yet. It is a compact indoor and outdoor design with a 115° horizontal field of view and dual-band Wi-Fi 6. The IP65-rated camera has two-way audio and Smart Alerts with person and vehicle detection, which require a compatible Blink subscription plan.
Subscribers on eligible AI plans in the U.S., Canada or the UK also get Video Descriptions, AI-generated summaries of camera activity meant to show what happened without watching every clip. The feature is not available in Illinois due to state-specific legislation and is limited to mobile devices with select primary languages.
Blink Spotlight Cam 2K+ ($109.99 USD) is Blink's first battery-powered spotlight camera. It pairs 2K video with built-in illumination and is fully wire-free, so it can be placed above a garage, along a side yard or near a back gate without a wired power connection. The spotlight activates with motion, which Blink says serves as a visual deterrent and gives clearer nighttime footage.
Blink Mini Pan-Tilt 2K+ ($49.99 USD) is Blink's first indoor/outdoor pan-tilt-zoom camera. It offers 350° pan and 115° tilt so it can follow activity such as a person walking from the driveway to the side of the house. It also has person and vehicle motion detection (with a compatible subscription plan), night vision and two-way audio. Outdoor use requires the Blink Camera Outdoor Adapter, sold separately.
Availability and what it means for buyers
All five cameras can be preordered in the U.S. starting today. The Blink Mini 4K+ and Blink Mini Pan-Tilt 2K+ can also be preordered in Canada, the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Australia and New Zealand. The Frontier XR+, Outdoor 2K XR+ and Spotlight Cam 2K+ will come to Canada, where customers can sign up for an email when they become available. Amazon says shoppers can check their local Amazon website for regional pricing and details.
The lineup spans a wide price range, from the $49.99 pan-tilt camera to the $199.99 Frontier XR+ system. For owners of larger properties, the XR+ cameras offer a way to cover gates, pastures, outbuildings and job sites that sit far from the main building. Shoppers who want sharper indoor or outdoor video have the 4K Mini 4K+ at $79.99. Several features, including person and vehicle detection and Video Descriptions, depend on a Blink subscription plan, so running costs beyond the hardware price will vary.
