It is becoming more and more fashionable to complete our home with the thousands of smart home devices that continue to revolutionize our lives, either to offer us some facilities, or to simply dress up our surroundings. Although there are still many who are unaware that our home begins from the same door, with devices such as the new Blink Video Doorbell, the first wireless video doorbell presented by Amazon itself.
Completely avoiding the use of cables, thus allowing us a quick and easy installation, this device is powered by two AA lithium batterieswhich guarantee a duration of up to two years without the need for any supervision or maintenance.
Thus, the great advantage of this doorbell lies in its intelligent section, since we can connect it directly with our smartphone to receive any notification or alerts through the Blink application, in addition to synchronizing it with the doorbell of our house.
In this way, the Blink Video Doorbell offers us two different ways to see who is on the other side of the intercom, thanks to its two-way audio function to be able to answer the doorbell through this device; At the same time, it gives us a little added security, being able to see our door in real time at 1080p even at night, thanks to the inclusion of an infrared sensor.
And it is that we can even record, save and share all the doorbell interactions both in the cloud and in the device’s memory, an external USB memory, allowing us to maintain absolute control of our home environment.
In addition, being an Amazon smart device, we will have the Alexa voice assistant supportbeing able to use voice commands to play the image on compatible Echo or Fire devices, as well as receive voice notifications when the doorbell rings or it detects some movement.

Currently we can already find the Blink Video Doorbell available for purchase through Amazon Spain, with two color options to choose between black and white models, under a base price of 59.99 euros. Although it should be noted that if we want to access the live video functions and the bidirectional audio connection, we will have to add the Blink Sync Module 2 as a supplement, adding another 34.99 eurosalso available in the web distributor.
