How would you like to see who’s outside your home without having to peep outside inconspicuously through your windows constantly? That’s where this incredible bundle deal comes in handy from Amazon, which consists of an Amazon Echo Show (2nd Gen) and two Blink Outdoor 2 security cameras — all for a smidge over $110, which in total is more than 50% off the regular price. You can never get enough peace of mind, and this certainly offers more of it.
So, why buy this deal? For starters, it’s a convenient way of being able to see what’s happening outside of your home without actually going outside. On the one hand, the Blink Outdoor 2 cameras can be strategically positioned anywhere to cover areas around your home. You won’t have to worry about connecting them to an outlet because they are battery-operated and can last upwards of 2 years. They’re also weather-resistant to endure the most brutal seasons while still informing you about motion event triggers.
Meanwhile, the second component to this package is the Amazon Echo Show 5 (2nd Gen). Given that the Echo Show 5 by itself sells for $85 normally, this is an outstanding deal. This smart display will allow you to ask Amazon Alexa to see what’s happening outside by streaming the live video speeds from the Blink Outdoor 2 cameras. It’s a convenient way to see more of your home without having to physically go outside. Beyond that, there’s so much more it can do — like video chatting from your home office, setting times for your oven, and even asking Samuel L Jackson something.
