Amazon partners with Blink on the Alexa-compatible Blink XT2 security camera
amazon blink xt2 wireless security camera blinkxt2

Amazon and Blink have teamed up to launch a new security camera, the Blink XT2. The XT2 is a wireless outdoor camera with a slew of features that make it a strong competitor against everything else on the market. It improves on the features of the previous generation of Blink cameras, and perhaps most impressive of all is the battery life: A reported two years on a pair of AA batteries, although Blink does warn the battery life will be shortened with heavy use.

The Blink XT2 boasts two-way audio, livestreaming, and motion recording -- all standard features you expect to find on any modern security camera. However, the enhanced motion detection means you can set custom sensitivity levels and zone control of the area your camera watches. This is perfect for homeowners that want to aim the camera at their backyard, but don't want the dog's entrance and exit from his doghouse to cause false alerts each time Fido leaves home.
