Why you should buy the Blink Video Doorbell

When it comes to DIY smart home devices, Blink often comes up as one of the best budget-friendly options for security cameras and video doorbells. The popular Blink Video Doorbell can be connected to existing doorbell wiring, or you can opt for battery power instead. Available in black or white, this Blink cam captures a 135-degree horizontal FOV and an 80-degree vertical view. The camera also shoots at up to 1080p and goes infrared for night vision.

The Blink Video Doorbell is able to track motion, pinging your go-to devices with an alert when a subject is detected. You’ll then be able to jump into the Blink app to communicate via two-way audio if you feel like talking to the person at the door. Motion-triggered recordings are available to view in the Blink app, which you’ll need to download anyway to set up the smart doorbell.

Blink is currently offering a 30-day free trial of its Blink Plus Plan, which lets you store up to 60 days’ worth of event recordings and even extends the warranty of the Blink Video Doorbell (after 30 days, you’ll start being billed $10 per month). A Blink subscription allows you to share clips with friends and family, too.

We see plenty of security camera promos on a daily basis, but this exceptional Blink offer is likely brought to you by Amazon’s October Big Deal Day savings. Take $30 off the Blink Video Doorbell when you order on Amazon. You may also want to check out some of the best Ring deals we’ve been finding.

Fraimic’s E Ink art frame generates art from your voice and looks incredible doing it
Fraimic's AI art canvas is one of the most thoughtfully designed smart frames I've come across.
Indoors, Interior Design, Person

We’ve seen a lot of "smart art frames" at CES over the years. Most of them feel like glorified digital photo frames in turtlenecks. However, there’s one that feels genuinely different: Fraimic, and I say that as someone deeply skeptical of this category.

The pitch appears quite compelling at first. Speak a prompt into the device, and its built-in mic sends the command to OpenAI's GPT Image 2.0, which then generates full-color artwork that lands on a Spectra 6 E Ink display.

Google is rolling out a fresh batch of updates to Gemini for Home and the Google Home app, and the headline change is one that could get more users to try out automations. Version 4.20 of the Google Home app adds a handful of pre-built routines to the Automations tab, so instead of building one from scratch, you can pick one and turn it on with a tap.

No more starting from zero
