Should you buy the Blink XT2?

I would recommend the Blink XT2 you’re looking for the following in a security camera.

  • No subscription fee: The Blink security system is pretty unique in that there is no subscription fee. They do place a cap on video storage, at the 2-hour mark, but depending on how much activity you have, that could be plenty for your needs.
  • Wireless setup: This camera is battery powered and the batteries are good for up to 2 years. Setup doesn’t get much easier than Blink in terms of power and connectivity.
  • Have other Blink cameras or an existing Sync Module: In order for the XT2 to work properly, you’ll need to purchase the Sync Module. This unit is included with a “Camera Kit” but may not be included if you purchase the XT2 as an “add-on camera”. You can pair up to 10 cameras to a single Blink Sync.

Summary

The Blink XT2 is a wireless security camera that automatically stores footage in the cloud (up to 2 hours). During our tests, we found it incredibly easy to setup and install. Picture quality was amazing, but it was still clear. While the XT2 isn’t a bleeding edge camera, it still works well, looks good, and offers excellent value with no subscription required.

Blink XT2: Setup

Blink XT2: Setup Similar to Arlo's security cameras, the Blink XT does not connect directly to your home Wi-Fi network. Rather, it communicates via a proprietary wireless link to the Blink Sync module, which connects to your Wi-Fi. That way, the Blink XT camera can run on battery power; the Sync module needs to be plugged into an outlet. (Image credit: Blink) Blink says that the XT2, which runs on two AA batteries, can last up to two years without replacement batteries. This estimate assumes that you use the camera for roughly 900 minutes of video events, including Live View, motion-activated recording and two-way talk. The more the camera records video, and the more you use two-way talk and live video, the less uptime the camera will have. Fortunately, the Blink XT2 kit comes with both the camera and the sync module; extra cameras cost $89 each. MORE:  Best Home Security Systems Setup takes about ...
