Sully Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Amazon Prime Day has started. Is there anything you have been watching and waiting for the price to drop? What are you buying? I've been wanting some sort of security system for my house, but there's so many obstacles. Power for the cameras, cost of the equipment, cost for cloud service, etc. I saw these a couple weeks ago. Figured I'd wait until Prime Day to see if the price dropped. Sure enough, went from $130 per unit, to $75 for 1 camera with receiver. It's $85 per additional camera (which doesn't make sense, really). Or you can buy a 5-camera kit for $tree fiddy. True, these aren't as powerful as a system with wired power, but I think they'll be good enough for what I'm wanting to accomplish. https://www.amazon.com/Blink-Home-Security-Detection-Included/dp/B06XZWHBJ4/ref=pd_ybh_a_2?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=3XAAZCYYR36JACFYQDVN&th=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbs3000 Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Interesting, I also would like to get one or 2 cameras. We will only be in this house another 8ish months so don't want to get anything too serious. We are also looking for 1 (possibly 2) kids tablets Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furloaf Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Luggage for an upcoming trip and an electric shaver. The 50" 4K Toshiba Fire TV is a hella deal at $290. I've had the 55" for a few weeks and am quite impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sully Posted July 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 The wife needed a protective lens and case for her phone, so I added those to my 3-camera Blink XT system order. When I went to checkout, Amazon offered me $60 off my order if I apply for their credit card and get approved. Even with the extras for the wife, cost was $220. However, it looks like I won't get my camera system for about a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sully Posted July 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Can you replace those batteries after they die? Yes, they are AA batteries. There is a light indicator on the camera that will turn red, i think, to indicate low battery. Also, if you run the app on your phone, you'll get notified there when the batteries are low.

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 I bought an echo dot with a smart plug in or something. Never tried any of this but I saved like 35 bucks so I'll give it a whirl. Signed up for that prime card and bought 500 coffee filters too. No errors for me but I was shopping at 1am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it looks like I won't get my camera system for about a month. I considered signing up for the credit card as well until I read the reviews. The first 6 reviews were all 1 star. Sounds like their is an issue with purchases being rejected for no apparent reason. So I passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
