Amazon has launched new wireless battery-powered smart home security cameras, Blink Outdoor and Blink Indoor, that come with motion detection, IR night vision, motion detection, two-way audio and two-year battery life.

Blink Outdoor and Blink Indoor feature a weather-resistant HD security camera and infrared (IR) night vision to monitor the home inside and out 24/7. Users can customize motion zones and privacy zones via the Blink Home Monitor app to cut down on unnecessary alerts in high-traffic areas and accordingly receive motion detection alerts on their phones. The Blink app also offers a live view of the home.

Further, the two-way audio feature allows users to hear and talk back and go hands-free with Alexa. Users can ask Alexa to arm and disarm their cameras, watch recorded motion clips or say "Alexa, show me the front door camera" to see a live view. Additionally, Alexa sends reminders when batteries run low and require maintenance.

The wireless cameras are equipped with two AA lithium batteries that last up to two years. They are compatible with devices running iOS 10.3, Android 5.0, or Fire OS 5.1 and require always-on high-speed internet connection. Under the hood, the cameras have Immedia Proprietary AC1002B quad-core CPU.
