Blink XT security camera deals are available from just $30 today only

Woot is currently offering Blink XT home security cameras with prices from just $30. After its new line of Blink XT2 cameras came out, Amazon discontinued the original Blink XT which means sales like this are the only way to pick up the 1st-gen devices these days.

Blink XT cameras are highly-rated by existing owners, so just because the new version has caused the previous-gen to drop in price, it doesn't mean you should be put off. In fact, the Blink XT and XT2 use the same sync module hub so you can mix and match the two generations.

Blink XT security cameras have motion detection, up to 1080p instant recording, and smart notifications. You can check on your home in real-time from anywhere using the Blink app and Blink also offers free cloud storage for recorded video clips so you don't have to pay for a monthly subscription. They are super simple to set up and run wirelessly for two years on two included Lithium batteries. They are also weather-resistant so you can monitor your home's surroundings. Switch between LEDs or infrared vision to light up those surroundings or keep an eye out at night.

The 3-camera system is down to just $89.99 which is less than half what you would pay for it brand new and you can pick up individual add-on cameras for $29.99 apiece — that's less than half the price they sold for at Amazon, too. Also at Woot today is the Blink XT 2-camera set at $69.99.

If you're already set up and satisfied with Blink XT cameras, today's a great opportunity to protect more areas of your home. The XT2 adds additional battery life and improved motion detection, but prices start at $90 for individual add-on cameras so it's definitely worth considering the 1st-gen cameras on sale while you can still get them. Once they sell out, they'll be gone for good.

Woot offers the cameras in used condition with a few different cosmetic gradings, so be sure to take a look carefully at the condition. Since you're likely mounting these cameras outside or out of the way in your home, the condition isn't that much of a concern when you consider how cheap you're getting them for today.

Shipping at Woot is generally $6 per order, though you can score free shipping by logging in with an Amazon Prime account before checking out. If you're not a Prime member already, consider starting a free 30-day trial to score free shipping at Woot and Amazon. You'll also gain access to all of Prime's usual perks such as the Prime Video streaming service, Prime Gaming, and much more. Amazon even has a page dedicated to exclusive members-only discounts.

The hidden cost of food delivery

Noah Lichtenstein Contributor Share on Twitter Noah Lichtenstein is the founder and managing partner of Crossover , a diversified private technology fund backed by institutional investors, technology execs and professional athletes and entertainers. More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
