Blink XT vs Blink

[lmosenko]

Hi @organa7,

Welcome to the Blink community. 1st and I don’t want to be a pain, you should post directly to the Official Blink Integration thread:

[DEPRECATED] Blink Camera Device Handler with Motion Sensor, Live Video Streaming, Integration with SmartThings/SHM, Temperature, Signals and Push Notifications

NOTE: THIS INTEGRATION HAS BEEN SUSPENDED BY AMAZON AFTER THE BLINK ACQUISITION Check out the Blink IFTTT Integration for SmartThings Folks have been requesting to integrate Blink Camera with SmartThings, so here it is finally. This has been approved by Blink. A big thank you to Blink’s management and engineers for their support in making this happen. For those who don’t know Blink, it’s a VERY cool HD wireless camera that runs on a battery (about 1-2 years per set of 2 batteries)/USB power and uses a PIR motion detector to detect intrusion and start recording a clip / see a live video and connects via Wifi (totally wirefree). You will need to buy a Blink sync module which can support up to 10 Blink Cameras. You can find more details about it here http://blinkforhome.com/ [image] [i…

2nd: If you have an auning or an overhang outside your house which will protect your Blink camera from the elements, than I would recommand from personal experiance to use the original Blink and not the XT. I have two outside that way and save me $$.

3rd: Correct XT has a true night vision as opposed to the original Blink which uses an Ultra bright LED to eluminate the night.(That works for me on my Deck and my Driveway at night. Scare away unwanted visitors!)
