Blink’s 2K camera glow-up comes with a subscription sting
Amazon’s Blink is revolutionizing home security with three cutting-edge 2K cameras. But brace yourself, as subscription fees are set to rise on October 8th.

Amazon’s Blink just dropped three shiny new security cameras that’ll make your current 1080p setup look like it’s from the Stone Age.
The company’s going all-in on 2K resolution, because apparently watching blurry footage of raccoons raiding your trash just isn’t cutting it anymore.
The star of the show is the Blink Arc ($99.99), a dual-camera frankenstein that stitches together 180 degrees of panoramic surveillance.
It’s basically two Blink Mini 2K+ cameras having a very committed relationship, delivering nearly 6-megapixel clarity that’ll catch every detail of your neighbor’s questionable landscaping choices.
The Blink Arc is basically two security cameras smooshing two Mini 2K+ cameras together for 180° coverage so you can spy on your entire backyard.
- 180° coverage beats single camera blind spots
- One cable powers both cameras easily
- Works indoors and outdoors perfectly
- No subscription needed for basic features
For the budget-conscious paranoid, there’s the Blink Mini 2K+ at $49.99 – a compact powerhouse that can venture outdoors with the right adapter.
Meanwhile, the Blink Outdoor 2K+ ($89.99) brings weather-resistant durability, 4X zoom, and noise-cancelling two-way audio for when you need to yell at delivery drivers in crystal-clear quality.
The Blink Mini 2K+ finally gives 2K video quality for just $50 that plugs into the wall so you never have to worry about dead batteries.
But here’s the kicker: just as Blink’s pushing these feature-packed cameras, they’re also jacking up subscription prices for the first time ever.
Starting October 8th, the Basic Plan jumps to $4/month ($40/year) for single-device coverage, while the Plus Plan hits $12/month ($120/year) for unlimited devices.
| Plan | Current Pricing* | New Pricing* (effective October 8, 2025) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic (Monthly) | $3 | $3.99 |
| Basic (Yearly) | $30 | $39.99 |
| Plus (Monthly) | $10 | $11.99 |
| Plus (Yearly) | $100 | $119.99 |
That Plus subscription isn’t optional if you want the Arc’s seamless 180-degree feeds – it’s basically ransom for the camera’s coolest feature.
All three cameras are available for preorder now, so you can start planning your surveillance empire and budgeting for those inevitable subscription fees.
