Amazon is discontinuing Cloud Cam service and replacing it with a free Blink Mini

Amazon is discontinuing support for its Cloud Cam security camera and replacing it with a free Blink Mini. The move was first reported by MacRumors late last week, and we got a copy of an email issued to users notifying the change. Cloud Cam owners will be allowed to use their cameras and download video until December 2nd, at which point all recordings will be erased and the gear will no longer function. Customers with the Cloud Cam Key Edition will also lose the ability to link to smart locks, however, they can replace the capability with a free fourth-generation Echo.
