Following in the footsteps of Ring and Google's Nest cameras, Blink subscribers will soon see AI-generated summaries of individual video events. AI is already crafting natural-language summaries of what Amazon's Ring and Google's Nest cameras are seeing, and now the AI-generated descriptions are coming to Blink cameras, too. Slated to begin rolling out today in beta to U.S. users, Blink Video Descriptions will employ AI to analyze the video events captured by Blink security cameras and then generate descriptions of what's happening. The feature, which will work with all existing Blink cameras and doorbells, will start off as a free preview for "select" Blink Basic and Plus subscribers, according to a Blink spokesperson.

There are two (well, technically, three) optimal times of the year to pick up Echo speakers, Kindle ereaders and other Amazon devices: Amazon Prime Day (now multiple days) and Black Friday.

This year, we're seeing some of the best prices of the year on all things Amazon, so now's the time to buy if you want to beef up your smart home ecosystem or pick up a gadget as a gift this year. These are the best deals you can get on Amazon devices for Black Friday 2024. Echo for 55 ( 45 off): We consider this to be the best smart speaker for 100 or less at the moment thanks to its loud audio with good bass quality, the ability to pair two together for stereo sound and Alexa's utility.

If you've had any Blink cameras on your to-buy list, you're in luck. Amazon has discounted both the Indoor and Outdoor versions of its compact, wireless security cameras for Prime members, so you can get a Blink Indoor one-camera pack for $55 and a Blink Outdoor one-camera bundle for $60. The wired Blink Mini has also dropped in price to $30, while the Blink Video Doorbell has been discounted to only $35. Blink cameras are affordable options for those that want some kind of security camera network keeping watch over their home. Blink Indoor and Outdoor cameras share most of the same features: they record 1080p video and support infrared night vision, two-way audio, motion alerts and temperature monitoring. As the name suggests, the Blink Outdoor devices have a weather-resistant design, so you can mount them over your front door, above your garage and in any other outdoor space you want to monitor.
