Blink Outdoor 4 security camera

Blink was founded as Immedia Semiconductor in 2009 by Peter Besen, Gary Giovanniello, and Don Shulsinger. Originally focusing on semiconductor design, the company pivoted to consumer home security with a successful Kickstarter campaign for its wireless cameras in 2014. The brand gained significant traction due to its energy-efficient technology and long battery life. In December 2017, Amazon acquired Blink, integrating it into its growing smart home ecosystem alongside brands like Ring. Manufacturing primarily takes place in China, while the brand remains managed as a subsidiary of Amazon.
