Overview
- Blink introduced two 2K models — Wired Doorbell 2K+ and Battery Doorbell 2K+ — in a Wednesday launch, with preorders now open in the U.S., Canada, the UK, and parts of Europe and shipping slated for May 20.
- Both units record in 2K and promise better dynamic range in bright or low light, while the battery model adds a head‑to‑toe view so you can see visitors and packages at the doorstep.
- Blink advertises the wired model from $39.99 in the U.S., though some listings show $49.99, and the battery version is $69.99 or $79.99 with a Sync Module bundle, undercutting Google’s wired 2K Nest Doorbell at $179.
- In the U.S., new cloud AI ‘video descriptions’ send short text summaries of motion events, which requires a Blink AI Basic plan at $6.99 a month or a Plus plan for multiple devices at $19.99.
- The wired 2K+ is Blink’s first wired‑only doorbell that can run without the Blink Sync Module hub, which simplifies setup and removes a common extra cost for buyers.
