Mounting your Blink XT2 Camera 

This article will show you how to mount your new Blink XT2 camera. 

Your Blink XT2 comes with a camera mount, mount riser, and two screws in the box. If you 
would like to order more, you may do so at 

amazon.com

. 

 

The mount riser is used to increase the distance from the mounting surface to the camera, 
allowing for a wider range of motion when positioning the camera. 

The two provided screws are wood screws. If you are attempting to mount on a different surface 
or any type of masonry, you will want to consult with your local hardware store on the proper 
screw type. 

We recommend holding the camera where you want to mount and try a Live View by pressing 
this icon in the app. This way, you can verify the camera has a good view and good signal 
strength in that location. 

The best motion detection occurs when a subject walks across the field of view horizontally 
rather than directly toward or away from the camera. Please keep this in mind when choosing a 
mounting location. 

Once you’ve decided on a location, you’ll put the mount and the riser together. (Using the mount 
riser is completely optional)
