Security Cameras

Ring and Blink Cameras

Breakwater Electric installs Ring and Blink cameras to help you keep an eye on your home, inside and out. Both brands offer wired and battery-powered options, so we can match the right camera to your home and your power setup. Our electricians handle the power, wiring, and placement, so each camera is positioned for clear coverage and reliable operation.


Ring cameras offer a wide range of options, including video doorbells, indoor cameras, outdoor cameras, and floodlight cameras. Ring is known for its advanced features and detailed mobile app. Battery models use rechargeable packs, and some Ring features require a subscription plan.


Blink cameras are a budget-friendly choice for homeowners who want simple, reliable security. Battery models run on AA batteries and can last up to about two years, and Blink also offers wired models for continuous power.


Why choose a Ring or Blink camera with Breakwater Electric:

  • Wired or battery options to fit your home and wiring
  • Indoor and outdoor coverage for entryways, driveways, and backyards
  • Professional placement so cameras cover the right areas
  • Clean installation that keeps wiring hidden and your home looking good

  • Set heating and cooling schedules that fit your daily routine
