In this review we look at the Blink and the Blink XT home security cameras. The #BlinkIndoor and the #BlinkXT outdoor cameras do have some amazing qualities, but occasionally fail to impress in their most basic functions. The original indoor blink camera sports a 720p camera which is rather underwhelming, but the XT has 1080p with night vision.
In terms of smart platform integration, the Blink works with Amazon Alexa. (The company was also recently acquired by Amazon). The Blink and Blink XT’s real comparative advantages lie in the purported two year battery life for its wireless cameras. The Blink and Blink XT both have this distinctively annoying feature requiring the user to press “continue” on a livestream every 30 secs in order to maintain a video.
The battery life on the Blink indoor does last the two years, while depending on use it appears that the Blink XT will have to be changed before the two years that Blink claims. The Blink and Blink XT ace most of elements found in the Security Baron Necessary Features Test.
