Amazon-owned Blink has released two new video doorbell models featuring 2K resolution: a wired option starting at $39.99 and a battery-powered version priced at $69.99 to $79.99.

The Blink Wired Doorbell 2K+ and Blink Battery Doorbell 2K+ expand Blink's 2K camera lineup, which debuted last fall. The wired model is listed at $49.99 on Amazon, though the company's blog indicates a lower starting price of $39.99. The battery doorbell requires an existing sync module for $69.99, or can be purchased bundled with the required hub for $79.99. Both models integrate with Blink's smart video descriptions feature, which generates text summaries of detected events and sends them via alerts. This addition positions the new doorbells as accessible entry points for users seeking 2K video quality and AI-powered notifications without premium pricing.
