Blink XT2 Camera Design

The Blink XT2 security camera has a matte black composite shell with a camera lens located in the middle. It has a simple aesthetic with no physcial controls on the camera itself.

The body of the camera is wide enough that it can comfortably sit on a flat surface without the use of an additional mounting plate or bracket.

What’s on the back of the camera?

The back of the camera has the audio output as well as a small mounting port. You can choose to use this port or sit it up on a flat surface without a mount.
