BOSTON, Sept. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Blink, the ultra-affordable, truly wire-free and battery-powered home security and HD video monitoring system, today announced that it has doubled its product's battery life, granting users twice the lifetime with no additional cost. Available exclusively in Blink security cameras, the unrivaled battery life is attributable to the company's proprietary chip technology and energy management expertise.

"Our goal with this latest update was to utilize our proprietary technology to take a top feature that makes Blink stand out as a great product and bring it to the next level," said Peter Besen, Blink's CEO. "Two AA lithium batteries will now last over two years with typical usage while other products require a battery change or charge every few months. This quickly becomes bothersome for consumers, especially in multiple camera households."

Blink continually strives for simplicity and affordability as key ways to differentiate themselves in the ever-growing and competitive industry. Battery-powered cameras enable consumers to easily place and move them anywhere around their home at will. The extended power functionality, which will be made available over the next few weeks, further cements the company's position as the battery-powered choice for consumers looking to secure their homes with a video monitoring solution.

"Customers love the idea of a wire-free, simple to use security camera as we have seen with our unprecedented growth this year," said Don Shulsinger, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Blink. "But if you have to climb a ladder every few months to replace, or even worse, recharge your batteries, what's the point? With Blink, you simply place the cameras and leave them without worry."

Blink's wireless systems start at $99, come with free cloud storage and deliver crystal-clear HD video through the Blink app available for iOS and Android devices. Blink systems can be purchased on Amazon.com and at https://blinkforhome.com.
