1. Not Just an Outdoor Device

The Blink XT2 security kit can also work as an indoor security camera for total home security. What's good about this is that the Blink XT2 security kit can still work clearly during the night or when it's dark because of its infrared HD night vision. This wireless security camera is powered by a pair of AA batteries that can last up to two years. The Blink XT2 security kit has customizable motion detection, two-way audio, and a live HD view recording. All these settings can be managed and programmed through the Blink app.

2. Works With Amazon Alexa

Like most smart devices nowadays, the Blink XT2 security kit can be controlled through voice command via Alexa. It can send alerts to Echo devices, and users will be able to hear and speak to incoming visitors without the hassle. Through the Blink app, the Blink XT2 security kit is customizable to detect motion—thanks to its passive infrared sensor which is enabled through body heat—and for Alexa to send updates to the user and the camera records it in a good 1080p resolution. Blink XT2 security kit can also be controlled through a smartphone (also via the Blink app), which makes it easier to be notified whenever there is someone on the front door or wherever the camera is set. 

3. Perfect Partnership with the Echo Dot

Echo Dot is Amazon's Premiere smart speaker than can be operated using Alexa. With the Blink XT2 security kit, the Echo Dot is perfect for watching live streams and motion clips. This can also be used to enable or disable the system through Alexa-compatible devices. The Echo Dot is specifically designed to be placed in limited spaces and offers an improved speaker quality with richer and louder sounds. This device can be used for streaming music from music streaming applications such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music. It can also be used as a speakerphone whenever the user needs to make calls, can also be used to check the weather, catch the news, turn the lights on or off, and update reminders. With the Echo Dot connected to Blink XT2 security kit, users are allowed to speak directly at the visitors.

All in all, the Blink XT2 security with the Echo Dot bundle offers shoppers with not only a high-quality security system but also a smart personal assistant, which can be controlled hands-free and hassle-free.
