Cable Forum - What have you just bought?

Early Black Friday deal from Amazon - Echo Show 5 (2nd generation, Charcoal) + Blink Outdoor HD security camera (2-Camera System), for £94.99, reduced from £229.98.

We currently have a Ring camera connected to our phones/tablets/Echo Show, but the wifi connection isn’t very good with it (even though it’s only 10 feet away from Google Mesh device), so happy to try this out at the reduced price.

I've had this system for over a year now (2 sets of 2 cameras) and I find it very reliable with decent wifi coverage. As a bonus the batteries can last up to two years if you dial everything down. You've got them for a very good price indeed.

Thanks - considering each camera was £89.99 before the deal, I was very happy (and I’ll save the clips locally to a USB stick, rather than to the manufacturer’s server (as I do at the moment, so save a monthly fee).

The only saving grace is I get my online storage for free. I think the cut off was July or August, after which you have to pay.
Very easy to set up, the base unit is titchy but extends the wifi coverage really well IMO.

Yeah that is a bloody good deal. Only issue for me is charging as I do not do heights so going up a ladder to fetch the battery is a no from me so I went for the Ring Floodlight Cam Prime day. That alone cost me £129

Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 128gb as it's on offer at £100 off and my current tablet is far too slow so treating myself, just hoping it doesn't drop in price further on Black Friday.

How and why is the term 'black friday' immune from all the racist crap filling the media lately?
