The Blink XT2 is one of the best home security cameras available In our Blink XT2 review, we liked its 1080p video recording and weatherproof (IP65) design; while it doesn't work natively with Google Home, we gave it a 4 out of 5 star rating for overall functionality

While most security cameras have a circular design, the XT2 is square with rounded corners Measuring 28 x 28 x 14 inches, it is about the size of a coaster and will not stand out wherever it is mounted

The Blink XT camera system runs on batteries and takes about 20 minutes to set up First, the sync module must be connected to Wi-Fi, then the camera must be connected to the sync module; from the Blink app for Android and iOS, the QR code on the back of each device is scanned and linked to an account

The Blink XT2's 1080p camera has a 110-degree field of view, the same as the Wyze Cam, but narrower than the Samsung SmartThings Cam's 145-degree field of view or the Arlo Q's 130-degree field of view In addition, the microphone on the Blink XT2 was sensitive enough to pick up the chirps of crickets at night

Not surprisingly, the Amazon-owned Blink XT2 camera works with Alexa, so you can use the free Fire TV Stick remote control to have Amazon's voice assistant show you the camera's live feed
