What's the Difference Between Blink XT and
XT2
There are a few subtle differences between the Blink XT and XT2 camera. We will cover those
differences in this article.
First and most important is the speaker in the bottom. You'll see 15 small holes on the bottom of
the camera. This is where the sound comes out when you're talking to someone you see on
camera. This speaker is what enables the XT2 to have two-way audio.
The next difference is on the front of the camera. The blink logo on the bottom and the outline of
the center plastic is a light shade of grey on the new XT2.

  • Page 8 Our new XT2 camera has two-way audio. Here is a guide to help use this new feature. First, tap on the Live View button for any of your Blink XT2 cameras. This button is in the bottom left corner of the camera photo.
  • Page 9 To use two-way audio you must press and hold on this button. Once you press the button wait 1- 2 seconds, then begin speaking. Your voice will come out through the speaker on the bottom of your XT2 camera!
