Amazon has announced a bunch of new products, including new Echo hardware, new Ring home security cameras, and new Blink devices. Here’s everything Amazon announced at its fall event today.

Blink, which is owned by Amazon, is known for relatively affordable home security products with long battery life and free video storage. However, the company just unveiled a hardwired Blink Wired Floodlight Camera, alongside a new Blink Mini Pan-Tilt Mount

For $99, the Blink Wired Floodlight Camera is wired into your home’s existing electrical wiring for power. It then records 1080p video with live view, and has two-way audio capabilities.

Availability for the Blink Wired Floodlight Camera wasn’t announced outside of a vague statement that it’ll be “available in the coming months.” However, you can keep an eye on amazon.com/blink.

The Blink Mini Pan-Tilt isn’t a camera, specifically; instead, it’s a motorized mount for the Blink Mini indoor cam. When the two devices are used together, the mount will rotate the Mini cam to provide up to 360-degree coverage of a room. You can use the Blink mobile app to control the camera remotely. 

Also: From Echo to Astro, here’s what Amazon’s device strategy is really about

The Pan-Tilt mount on its own is priced at $29.99, while the Blink Mini bundled with the Pan-Tilt is $59.99. The stand-alone mount and the combo pack are both available for preorder now.

Amazon also announced new Spotlight Cam Pro and Cam Plus models.
