The cameras is designed for ease-of-setup with no tools or wiring required. Plus, unlike gear from also-Amazon-owned Ring, there's no rechargeable battery. Instead, the XT2 works from two everyday AA batteries - however, there's a cited battery life of two years providing you only do 60 seconds of recording a day.

That's thanks to a power-efficient processor. Indeed, Blink reckons you can get a whopping 80,000 seconds of video out of a single set of AA batteries.

The XT2 also has improved motion detection and as with Ring devices you can customise activity zones so you don't get so many false alerts and notifications. 

Naturally the camera works with Alexa and you're able to view the XT2’s livestream video through your Echo Spot, Echo Show and Fire TV. Just say, “Alexa, show me the [camera name]" to see the video.
