Amazon wants to be inside your home, not just dropping off packages at your door.*
Now, the book-seller-turned-retail-giant is acquiring home security camera startup, Blink. The companies announced (https://blinkforhome.com/blogs/blink-home-security-blog/breaking-news-blink-has-been-acquired-by-amazon) the deal on Friday.*

Blink offers wireless home security systems, powered by batteries rather than needing to be plugged into an electric outlet. One camera unit sells for $99 on Amazon. A three-camera set costs $229 on Amazon.

We’re excited to welcome their team and invent together on behalf of customers," an Amazon spokesperson wrote in an email to Mashable.* Read more...
