Overview

• Amazon’s Blink announced the Outdoor 2K+ and Mini 2K+ cameras, upgrading resolution from 1080p to 2K with 4x zoom, enhanced low-light performance, and noise-canceling two-way talk.
• The new Blink Arc pairs two Mini 2K+ units into a single, software-stitched 180-degree live view from one mount and power source, with optional weather-resistant power for outdoor use.
• Preorders opened with listed prices of $89.99 for Outdoor 2K+, $49.99 for Mini 2K+, $99.99 for Blink Arc, and $19.99 for an Arc mount, while Amazon has not provided release dates.
• Seamless panoramic stitching in Arc and smart alerts like person and vehicle detection require a Blink Subscription Plus Plan, which is set to increase in price on October 8.
• Reviewers note a 25 fps maximum for 2K video and recommend strong Wi‑Fi for 2K streams, with Blink suggesting around 6 Mbps upload speed.
