Blink is a motion-activated home security camera that transmits HD footage and motion-activated notifications to your smartphone. With special features, like Capturing movies and photographs and keeping them in the cloud for up to 60 days, allowing you to examine, share, and preserve them whenever you choose. 

Blink plans start at $3 a month. While that may seem steep for a device you can’t take with you, that payment plan is significantly cheaper than Blink’s competitors, who charge up to $150 for an annual membership. On top of Blink’s low monthly fees, members receive a 30-day guarantee.

If you try Blink and aren’t happy with it in your home, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund. That allows you to test out Blink risk-free before committing. And if Blink works out, you get free shipping on all replacement bulbs when they burn out—which they do eventually, but not nearly as often as traditional light bulbs. (Blink claims its bulbs last about three years.)

You can cancel your Blink subscription from within the app. Go to Settings > Subscription & Payment and then select Cancel Subscription. When prompted, select OK to confirm your selection.

Your Blink account will be deactivated and you will receive an email confirmation. As with any cancellation, there are no returns or refunds so be sure you want to cancel before proceeding. Unsubscribing is easier than you think!

Conclusion

If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to get home security, Blink is worth considering. It has some limitations—but it also has some clear advantages: It works on its own without requiring any other equipment or services, it offers professional monitoring for an affordable price, and it has a battery backup in case of power outages.

What Should I Do if I Already Ordered a Blink Hub but Can’t Cancel My Credit Card Billing?
