We’d all like to keep an eye on our home when we’re away. But buying a security camera for your house or flat can end up being a huge investment, especially if you’re dedicated to buying a proper piece of kit that you can rely on. But one security camera is top-rated on Amazon, and is currently on a generous discount for a limited time only.
The Blink Outdoor Wireless HD smart security camera has been slashed by 66 per cent, from a steep £89.99 to a far more affordable £30.49, offering a saving of almost £60. But be quick if you’re looking to grab one, as the tech deal is on for a limited time only, and will end on March 31.
Amazon’s Blink Outdoor camera is a wire-free battery-powered HD security camera that allows you to monitor your home. It features infrared night vision so you can keep an eye on your house whether it’s day or night, and it runs on two AA lithium batteries (which are included), for up to two whole years.

Its robust build is made to withstand the elements, helping you protect your home indoors or out, no matter what challenges the Scottish whether may bring. The camera allows you to receive motion detection alerts on your phone via a subscription-based app that works alongside the gadget.
The piece of tech also allows you to answer your door no matter where you are from your smartphone with its 1080p HD day and infrared night video, and two-way audio.
And customers are loving the piece of security tech. It boats a colossal 28,000 ratings on Amazon, with an overall score of 4.2 stars out of a possible five.
One happy shopper said: “I’ve been using the Blink Outdoor Wireless HD Smart Security Camera for a few months now, and I’m incredibly impressed with its performance. Right out of the box, it was simple to set up—literally plug-and-play.
“The wireless design meant I didn’t have to deal with complicated wiring, and it took me just minutes to mount the camera in my desired location.”
Another satisfied buyer said: “Wow this must have been the easiest security camera setup ever. Within 5 mins it was on up and running and everything working very very easy to do.”
A third said: “Amazingly simple to set up. Picture quality brilliant.”
But not everyone was so satisfied with their purchase. One buyer said: “What a scam! I paid for brand new cameras and ended up with 3 working and one damaged/non-working. Customer services is an absolute nightmare.”
