BLINK ARC
Home security shouldn’t feel complicated—and with Blink’s newest device, Blink Arc, it really doesn’t. Blink Arc takes two Blink Mini 2K+ cameras and blends their views into one smooth, 180-degree panoramic feed (Blink Subscription Plus Plan required for stitching), so you can see more of what’s happening at home without juggling multiple camera feeds.
Whether it’s your kids playing in the snow, packages arriving on the doorstep, or your dog launching a full-speed chase after a squirrel, the Blink Arc pulls it all into one wide, easy-to-watch view.
And for $99.99, you get the full setup: two Blink Mini 2K+ cameras plus the Blink Arc mount—a simple way to get a smarter, wider look at home.
