The Blink Outdoor 4 Floodlight Camera is down to $39.99 at Amazon as October Prime Day deals roll out, a sizable discount from its $99.99 list price and, according to price trackers, its lowest price to date. At that price, you’re getting a home security camera and a motion-activated floodlight in one unit, making it an easy way to cover a backyard, driveway, side yard, or whichever corner of your property never seems to get enough light.

The real appeal, though, is that there's no wiring to deal with, because both the camera and the floodlight run on batteries. That flexibility also extends to placement—since the camera connects over wifi, as long as you have a decent signal, you can install it without having to plan around a nearby outlet, notes this PCMag review. The setup pairs a motion-activated floodlight with a 1080p camera, powered by four D-cell batteries and two AA batteries, respectively. Naturally, you’ll need to keep an eye on battery life over time and replace the batteries periodically, but it’s otherwise fairly straightforward. When the camera detects movement, the floodlight kicks on with up to 700 lumens of brightness, which should be enough to illuminate a driveway, side yard, or other dark area around the house, while the camera records in 1080p. It also has infrared night vision, so you can continue monitoring the area after dark even when the floodlight isn't on.

The bigger consideration is the ongoing cost if you want more than basic camera access. Blink’s subscription plans start at $3.99 per month for one device and $11.99 per month for unlimited devices, with cloud storage, video history, and advanced alerts among the features tied to the paid plans. You do get a 30-day trial to see whether those extras are useful before committing, but anyone who wants to keep recorded clips in the cloud should factor the subscription into the overall cost. For those who prefer local storage, you’ll need to purchase a Sync Module XR and a MicroSD card with up to 256GB of storage separately, since the included Sync Module Core doesn’t support local backups.
