  "textContent": "One of the things that surprised me when Blink finally launched in Australia was that it didn't actually offer a doorbell product. I'm a firm believer that the video doorbell is the foundation of a good home security system, so Blink's decision to launch without it was a surprise.\n\nBut finally, it now has a doorbell offering, and the wait was probably worth it.\n\nThe Blink Battery Doorbell 2K+ brings 2K resolution to an already competitive category, and at $109 it undercuts the Ring Video Doorbell 4 and most of the eufy doorbell lineup without cutting obvious corners.\n\nIt has a head-to-toe field of view to catch packages and visitors from top to bottom, improved dynamic range for tricky lighting at the front door, and no hardwiring required.\n\nBattery life is rated at up to 21 months under default settings, so you won't have to panic about recharging regularly.\n\nSmart motion alerts go straight to the Blink app, letting you check what's happening without monitoring a live feed constantly.\n\nUpgrade to a subscription plan and Smart Detection kicks in, using computer vision to separate people and vehicles from general motion.\n\nSubscription plans start at $4.95/month for a single device, or $15/month for the Blink Plus tier covering unlimited devices, which also unlocks cloud storage for clips and live view recordings for up to 60 days.\n\nAlongside the doorbell, Blink is also launching the Solaris Battery, a snap-on solar accessory for the Outdoor 2K+ and Outdoor 4 cameras.\n\nIt only needs 45 minutes of direct sunlight to keep things running, carries an IP65 weather resistance rating, and snaps on without tools.\n\nFeature | Blink Battery Doorbell 2K+ | Blink Solaris Battery\n---|---|---\nVideo resolution | 2K | 2K (via Outdoor 2K+ camera)\nField of view | Head-to-toe | Standard (Outdoor 2K+)\nPower source | Battery (no wiring required) | Solar (45 min direct sunlight)\nBattery life | Up to 21 months* | Continuous (solar-powered)\nWeather resistance | N/A specified | IP-65\nSmart alerts | Yes (motion detection) | Yes (via Outdoor 2K+)\nSmart Detection | With subscription | With subscription\nCloud storage | Up to 60 days (with subscription) | Up to 60 days (with subscription)\nVoice assistant | Alexa compatible | Alexa+ compatible\nCompatible cameras | N/A | Outdoor 2K+, Outdoor 4\nPrice (Australia) | $109 | $59 (accessory), $169 (bundle)\n\n## Pricing and availability\n\nThe Blink Battery Doorbell 2K+ is available now from Amazon.com.au, priced at $109.\n\nThe Solaris Battery is available as a standalone accessory for $59, or bundled with an Outdoor 2K+ camera for $169.\n\n* * *\n\n### Latest smart lock & doorbell deals",
