How to mount a blink xt2 camera

This article will show you how to mount your new Blink XT2 camera.Your Blink XT2 comes with a camera mount, mount riser, and two screws in the box. If you would like to order more, you may do so at .The mount riser is used to increase the distance from the mounting surface to the camera, allowing for a wider range of motion when positioning the camera. The two provided screws are wood screws. If you are attempting to mount on a different surface or any type of masonry, you will want to consult with your local hardware store on the proper screw type.We recommend holding the camera where you want to mount and try a Live View by pressing this icon in the app. This way, you can verify the camera has a good view and good signal strength in that location.The best motion detection occurs when a subject walks across the field of view horizontally rather than directly toward or away from the camera. Please keep this in mind when choosing a mounting location.Once you've decided on a location, you'll put the mount and the riser together. (Using the mount riser is completely optional)You'll see that the screw holes line up on these two accessories. Next, use the two provided screws to attach the mount at your desired location. Please note, use of the included screws for the mount will create two holes in the surface of the wall.Once the mount (and optional mount riser) is securely in place, you will snap the camera onto the mount. The circle portion of the mount will connect to the center circle on the back of the XT2 camera.Once mounted, you can rotate the camera on the mount itself to get the perfect viewing angle. When positioning your camera, remember the best motion detection occurs when a subject walks across the field of view from one side to another rather than directly toward or away from the camera.Other examples: Home Wasserstein Blink Outdoor & Blink XT2/XT Adjustable Metal Wall Mount (3-Pack, Black) Save $0.00 Save $-9.99 METAL MOUNT FOR BLINK - This indoor/outdoor wall or ceiling mount was designed to be used with the Blink XT2 & Indoor camera as well as other compatible cameras.

Image not available forColor: The Blink XT is a uniquely powered and unusually shaped security camera. Many home security camera manufacturers introduce a successful indoor version of their camera only to miss the outdoor opportunity. Blink introduced their outdoor version soon after realizing success with their indoor model. The Blink XT Outdoor/Indoor Home Security Camera System can be used inside or out. Today, we're going to discuss how to mount a Blink XT security camera outdoors. The Blink XT comes with a mounting bracket that requires a screw to fasten it to a flat surface. The mount attaches to the back where the battery compartment latch is located. It's a small mount that has limited capability. Ideally, we would prefer deployment of the industry standard 1/4 ? 20 threaded screw hole common to tripods and most industry standard mounts. Lack of this type of mounting adapter means there's a limited supply of available mounts. In this article, we'll talk about how to best position the camera, and look at some optional methods for mounting the Blink XT including one or two ways to avoid using the screw, which if you have aluminum siding isn't going to look too wonderful upon removal. It's worth noting this camera was replaced with the Blink XT2 in early 2019. The specs are similar, but the included mount is vastly improved. Selecting the Mounting Location Let's start by looking at some important Blink XT facts that are pertinent to selecting a mounting location. The camera sports a 110 degree field of view. So it isn't the widest field of view in outdoor cameras as both the Nest Cam Outdoor and Arlo Pro check in with 130 degree capability. However, it is sufficient for placing the camera into a corner and will capture a rather wide swath of territory outdoors. Most home security cameras detect motion most effectively when a subject crosses the field of view versus moving towards the camera. Choose a location that will detect motion when someone crosses the field of view, not walking into towards it. If possible, place the camera at least eight feet high. This helps facilitate getting a better view. It also makes it more difficult for someone to steal the camera. Blink provides a plastic multi angle bracket that snaps onto the back of the Blink XT. The other end of that bracket has a hole that is used by the mounting screw. The intention is to screw the mounting bracket onto a flat surface then snapping the Blink XT onto the mounting bracket. Keep in mind that you will need to remove the camera from the mounting bracket periodically for battery replacement. You will pull the bottom of the Blink XT away from the mount when it's time to replace the batteries. The size of the camera is 2.8 x 2.8 x 1.34 inches (71 x 71 x 34 mm). So it's a perfect square and too thick. This is an unusual shape for a camera. Most security cameras are somewhat cylindrical and somewhat deeper in size. The camera is powered by a pair of AA lithium batteries. All of this, including the batteries weighs only 3.3 ounces. Blink figured out how to jam a lot of capability and sufficient power in a very small footprint. Using the Included Mount The included Blink Mounting Bracket is secured to a flat surface by pushing a screw through the end that isn't attached to the camera and driving it into a wall. The mounting bracket included with the Blink XT isn't suited for attachment to a ceiling. It's simply not long enough and if attached to a ceiling, you will be seeing the tops of people's heads. You need a longer mount for a ceiling. You can potentially forego the mounting bracket altogether, and some certainly do. Just stand the Blink XT up on a table or any flat surface. The disadvantage, especially for outdoor use will be that its insecure and someone could easily walk off with the camera or the wind could blow into your neighbor's yard. Alternative Mounts for the Blink XT Fortunately, there are some alternative mounts to consider with the Blink XT. A few creative companies include an adapter that attaches to the back of the Blink XT. It fits similarly to the mount that's included with the Blink XT. The adapter allows connectivity to a standard 1/4 ? 20 threaded mount. The Wasserstein Metal Wall Mount for Blink XT Outdoor & Indoor Cameras comes in a three-pack. It includes the adapter we just described with a metal mount that features a ball and socket on the end. That's a photo of this mount in action that accompanies this article. This mount is perfect for positioning just above a door or for mounting a Blink XT to a ceiling or wall. The mount attaches to a flat surface using the included wood screws. This mount is also available as a three-pack suction mount. Next up for consideration is another great idea from Wasserstein which attaches to your rain gutter. Consider the Weatherproof Gutter Mount for Blink XT Outdoor Camera with Universal Screw Adapter. This mount allows attachment of the Blink XT to the lip of your rain gutter. There are two screw clamps which securely attach the mount to the front of the gutter. This is perfect for keeping a watch on your garage. There are a few others available, not too many. We like Wasserstein and have tried both of these mounts personally and they work well on a Blink XT. The adapter snaps in securely as we already described. Once the adapter is attached to the camera, simply screw the other side onto the included mount. A related topic to this subject is Mounting the Blink Sync Module which is worth a read if having some challenges finding a good central place to put this critical component. Hello,I'm planning on mounting a XT2 camera on the side of my house. The exterior of the house is stucco. Can anyone tell me if the camera bracket needs to be mounted to a stud? If not, does it need a drywall anchor before the screw?I looked at the manual but couldn't find a specific answer.Thanks for the help! We purchased the Blink XT2 Camera so our reviewer could thoroughly test and assess it in her home. Keep reading for our full product review. The best at-home security systems don't just come from traditional security monitoring companies anymore. Smart, install-ityourself camera systems, like Amazon's Blink XT2 Home Security Camera System, have flooded the market--and there are options for every type of customer and home. Unlike its more popular competitors, the Blink XT2 is simple and affordable, in a good way. Powered by lithium batteries that last up to two years and equipped for indoor and outdoor use, it's easier than you think to install a couple of Blink cameras around your home and property. My husband and I tested the camera system in our own home for over a month, analyzing everything from the design and mounting process to features like camera quality, audio, and motion detection. While we were immediately impressed at how seamlessly the camera system connected to the Blink app and to our Amazon Alexa home system, there are plenty of features to consider before you buy. After all, the more you know about your home's security system, the better. Verywell Family / Deanna McCormack There's an easy-to-follow Setup Guide included in the Blink XT2 box. Our first step was to download the Blink Home Monitor App and create a Blink account using our email address. Each Blink XT2 system consists of a Sync Module along with one or more cameras (in our case, just one). The Sync Module, which has to stay plugged into power at all times, is what communicates your Wi-Fi connection to the Blink app and Blink devices. (If you already have a Sync Module, you can buy the XT2 as an add-on camera; everything is compatible.) To set up the Sync Module using the app, we took a photo of the QR code on its back, then plugged it in near our router until the lights blinked blue. The camera's microphone and audio quality sound is fairly clear, but definitely not top of the line. Each of these steps is outlined very clearly on the Blink app, and we had no problems with it. Once the module was connected, we went ahead and added the camera. Again, adding the camera was easy, and the directions on the app were straightforward. We don't usually have problems setting up our home tech, but the Blink setup was exceptionally easy. Adding the camera to the app was as simple as inserting the included batteries and using another QR code. Near the battery compartment, there's also an option to switch the blue recording light on and off. We kept ours on. Once the camera is connected to the app, you can easily rename your camera; view the temperature, battery life, and Wi-Fi connection strength; enable the microphone; and reconfigure the settings to your preference. Once the tech part of the setup was complete, we moved onto mounting. The Blink XT2 comes with a camera mount, mount riser, and two screws. The mount itself is small and sleek and a definite upgrade from the mount included with the Blink XT, which we also tested for comparison. The mount easily clicks into the camera with a push, but you have to use the screws to mount to the wall where you want it. We used these instructions from the Blink website to help us with this part of the setup and again, had no issues. With the included mount, we didn't have problems adjusting the positioning of the camera, but ideally, it would be nice to be able to adjust positioning from the app. Of course, we weren't required to mount our Blink camera to use it, and for parts of our testing, we just placed the camera on a shelf or table. Verywell Family / Deanna McCormack Just as you'd expect from an Amazon-owned company, one of the Blink XT2 Camera System's key features is its ability to connect to your Alexa smart home device. By doing so, you can arm and disarm the system by voice and see the feeds from your camera on other Amazon devices. We loved this feature since we are already accustomed to using our Alexa speaker for other controls in our home. However, you can't do everything you need with the Alexa app. To really control the camera settings and view the live video, you have to download and familiarize yourself with the Blink Home Monitor app, available on iOS or Android. The app makes it easy to connect, control, and view multiple cameras--not to mention view saved videos and even create an arm and disarm schedule for your system. The app itself is very simple; we had no trouble using it to access live video, record and speak through the two-way audio, receive motion alerts, and customize various camera and alert settings. We toyed around with the varying degrees of motion sensitivity, active areas, picture quality, and length of recording to make the camera most useful in our spaces. Again, we referred to the mounting instructions on the Blink support webpage to get the best out of our camera in the areas we mounted it. The app makes it easy to connect, control, and view multiple cameras--not to mention view saved videos and even create an arm and disarm schedule for your system. I like that both my husband and I were able to download the app on our phones, control the cameras when needed, and receive notifications when the cameras were triggered. Verywell Family / Deanna McCormack The Blink XT2 is completely wire-free, and we didn't have to worry at all about battery life during our two weeks of testing. It was so nice to be able to set up the cameras, leave them alone, and trust they wouldn't run out of battery while we weren't home. Blink claims the batteries included in the box (regular AA lithium batteries) will last up to two years of standard camera use, but even if you had to replace them, it would be cheap and easy to do so. Amazon also equipped the XT2 with a better battery life than its earlier camera model, the Blink XT. It was so nice to be able to set up the cameras, leave them alone, and trust they wouldn't run out of battery while we weren't home. To check battery life, you simply open the camera of your choice on your Blink app. When it's time to replace batteries, it will say "REPLACE." You can also turn on battery notifications. If you prefer, you can power the cameras via USB instead of batteries. Since the Sync Module is the key to each Blink camera's ability to communicate with your app and Wi-Fi, it is essentially the center of your range. In our three-bedroom, approximately 2,100-square-foot home and yard, we had some issues with connectivity, mainly in the areas of the house where Wi-Fi is weaker (our basement, kitchen, and garage). In a larger home, you may experience issues with connectivity. The camera itself is totally weatherproof and can be placed indoors and outdoors, which gives you a ton of placement options. Also, the add-on cameras are very affordable so you could cover more areas and angles. Verywell Family / Deanna McCormack The Blink XT2 system has a full-color 1080p HD camera, infrared HD night vision, and passive infrared PI for motion detection. The picture was clear in daylight and in night mode. You can easily zoom in and out of recorded and live video from the Blink app, although the picture quality will decrease if you do so, similar to the camera on your cell phone. We noticed that, in some cases, if a person was passing in and out of the camera's sightline quickly, the Blink camera would record after they'd already gone. It does take a few seconds for the Blink camera to begin recording triggered motion, and the live video feed has a slight delay. The delay isn't out of the ordinary for home security systems, but the Blink was a little slow for our liking. We noticed that, in some cases, if a person was passing in and out of the camera's sightline quickly, the Blink camera would record after they'd already gone. In the camera settings on the app, you can control the infrared illuminator intensity, choose the video quality, customize the motion triggers, speak through the camera, and listen to audio on the other side. The camera's microphone and audio quality sound is fairly clear, but definitely not top of the line. In live view, you can stream 30 seconds of live video and record if you need to. Being able to record in live mode is a huge upgrade from the original Blink XT camera. The Blink XT2 Camera system stands alone in terms of what you get for your money. The system and additional cameras are extremely budget-friendly but aren't cheaply made or cumbersome to use or look at. At $89.99 for an add-on camera and $99.99 for a one-camera kit, they're even cheaper than the original Blink XT cameras! Unlike other camera systems in this category, there's no cost for cloud storage. Yes, you read that right. Blink allows you to save up to about 120 minutes of video for free. Having "no strings attached" not only makes this camera stand out in its category, but it also makes it easy to give as a gift. We love how cost-friendly these cameras are because we feel it gives us the option to add more to our home and property in the future. Also, we love that they're made by Amazon since we're very familiar with the company and its excellent customer service. Arlo Pro 2: The Arlo system may be your choice over the Blink if you're looking for comprehensive, top of the line coverage. We also tested this device and found it has more features and more accessories and a local storage option. However, you pay for what you get. Depending on which kit you choose, the Arlo Pro 2 can cost anywhere from twice to five times the price of the Blink system. Logitech Circle 2: This Logitech model is a similar indoor/outdoor offering since it doesn't require a subscription, but it isn't wireless. We would choose the Blink for its wireless convenience. Final Verdict You can't argue with the value. We would definitely recommend the upgraded Blink XT2 system to anyone in the market for an extremely affordable, high-performing wireless camera system with a strong app, two-way audio, and a good camera. You can't beat the value this camera delivers.
