Cloud Cam customers reported to have received an email from Amazon last month as promised in a May 2022 statement from the company pertaining to the discontinuation of the Cloud Cam product line. The email informs all Cloud Cam users that for every active Cloud Cam device owned, a complimentary Blink Mini along with a one-year Blink Subscription Plan will be offered for replacement.
The tech giant in the 2010s, began taking serious leaps into the home surveillance sector with the acquisition of Blink for $90M in December of 2017, and Ring for $1B only 2 months after. Amazon's May email statement read, "With your help over the last 5 years, Cloud Cam has served as a reliable indoor security camera and a hub for Amazon Key-compatible smart locks that work with Alexa. As the number of Alexa smart home devices continues to grow, we are focusing our efforts on Ring, Blink, and other technologies that make your home smarter and simplify your everyday routines.
