Editor’s Note: We love a good Black Friday deal. But, we also know not everyone is ready to buy within that window. So read our SimpliSafe home security system cost page for excellent deals year-round.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are coming on November 29 and December 2, respectively, so get your shopping lists ready! And if home security cameras are on that list, you’ll want to check out Blink. We have an in-depth Blink review that goes into all the specifics, but suffice it to say, Blink is one of our favorite affordable security camera choices.
Blink also often has some of the best security camera deals when sales such as Black Friday and CyberMonday roll around. So right now, let’s check out what could be in store for us in the upcoming sale. One thing we know is that Blink cameras sell out fast, so it’s best to have a list ready so you can head to Amazon prepared when the sale starts.
When Are Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2024?
Black Friday is always the day after Thanksgiving, and Cyber Monday follows immediately after. That means this year’s Black Friday falls on November 29, and Cyber Monday is on December 2. That doesn’t mean, though, that sales will be occurring only on those specific days. Last year, Blink Black Friday deals dropped in the second week of November and stayed all the way through Cyber Monday. So even though the sale hasn’t officially started yet, it’s a good idea to keep checking out Blink for early deals.
Where To Look For Deals
Unlike its sister company Ring, Blink doesn’t have its own online store. You’re going to need to buy from a third-party retailer, but lucky for you, Amazon owns the Blink brand. And as we all know, Amazon is great with discounts.
Currently, we’re seeing deals on individual Blink cameras. These aren’t officially for Black Friday yet, but there are pretty good ones. For example, an add-on Blink Outdoor 4 is selling for $37.99 right now, a steep drop from its $89.99 regular price.
We’d say wait until Black Friday though, as that’s when the best deals drop. We don’t know the exact figures yet this year, but last year, we saw the Blink Mini gen 1 sells for $19.99 and the Blink Video Doorbell for $29.99. Take a look at Blink’s Black Friday deals last year:
| Camera options from Blink | Amazon Black Friday price 2023 |
|---|---|
| Blink Mini | $19.99 |
| Blink Mini Pan-Tilt | $29.99 |
| Blink Outdoor 4 | $71.99 |
| Blink Wired Floodlight | $49.99 |
| Blink Video Doorbell | $29.99 |
Another reason to wait for Black Friday are the discounts on multi-camera bundles. We always hunt for such deals because they give you the biggest savings as you quickly and conveniently build your Blink camera system. For example, there’s a package called the Whole Home Bundle that includes an indoor camera, an outdoor camera, and a doorbell camera. That one was over 50-percent off last year, from its $215 original price down to $101.98. Here are other bundles we saw:
| Blink Bundle | Bundle regular price | Special Black Friday price | Black Friday savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whole Home Bundle (Blink Mini, Video Doorbell, and Outdoor 4) | $214.97 | $101.98 | 51% |
| Blink Mini (2 cameras) | $64.99 | $39.98 | 38% |
| Blink Mini with Blink Video Doorbell | $94.98 | $49.98 | 47% |
| Blink Wired Floodlight Cam with Blink Video Doorbell | $159.98 | $79.98 | 50% |
| Blink Outdoor 3 (2 cameras) with Blink Video Doorbell | $239.98 | $119.98 | 50% |
| Blink Outdoor 4 (3 cameras) | $269.99 | $134.99 | 50% |
| Blink Outdoor 4 (4 cameras) | $179.99 | $359.99 | 50% |
We’ve been covering Blink long enough to know that that’s normally how low prices drop during Black Friday. So while we don’t know the exact deals yet this year, we suspect they won’t be much different from last year. So yeah, definitely wait until all the deals drop before shopping.
While waiting, we also recommend checking out Ring’s Black Friday Deals. Ring and Blink are both Amazon companies, and while Ring products are slightly more expensive, there are more options to choose from. Ring is also better feature-wise, and it has a full-fledged home security system called Ring Alarm plus a ton of video doorbell options.
Pro Tip: Cameras are an important part of your home security posture, but you might want to add a layer of protection. Maybe consider checking out our roundup of the best home security systems of 2024. That’ll help you get a solid foundation.

Post-Black Friday: Year-Round Blink Deals
Blink is known for manufacturing high-quality cameras at reasonable prices — more on that in our guide to Blink’s pricing and products — but even outside special shopping days, you might be able to spot a deal or two from Blink. The best place to look is, once again, Amazon.
This year, for example, we saw the price of the Blink Mini gen 1 fluctuate from its regular $34.99 retail price down to about $20. There are also refurbished Blink cameras, if that’s something you’re interested in. Refurbished or open-box items are checked extensively before going on sale again, and they are covered by the same warranty as brand-new items.
Lastly, multi-camera bundles are on-sale year-round. The prices aren’t as good as Black Friday bundle prices, but you can usually shave off around 10- to 20-percent from the retail price if you buy a multi-camera bundle.
That said, even though you can get discounts outside Black Friday, Blink’s prices drop to all-time lows on special shopping days, so if possible, take full advantage and buy as many Blink cameras as you need on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Pro Tip: 1080p? 4K? Ultra 4K? The jargon can get a little confusing. So if you’re not sure what you need when it comes to security camera equipment, don’t worry. We wrote the ultimate guide to security cameras to get you up to speed.
Conclusion: Deal-Hunting Tips for Black Friday 2024
We recommend setting up Google alerts for the products you’re looking for, or check Amazon’s Black Friday page regularly. As an Amazon product, Blink is usually top-of-the-list on that page. Amazon also has Deals of the Day sometimes, so keep an eye on that as Blink might be featured.
