A:AnswerThe Blink XT2 cameras have an operating temperature range of -4° to 113° F (-20° to 45° C). The USB port on the back of the camera can be used with a MicroUSB cable and power adapter (not included with your camera) to power your cameras rather than using batteries. Do note, The Blink XT and XT2 feature a rubberized cover over the USB port. Removing this cover makes the camera no longer weatherproof.
A:AnswerThe great thing about Blink is that it does not continuously record like other cameras. The camera only turns on when it detects motion or you turn it on to watch Live View, helping to significantly reduce data usage. A five second motion clip with audio takes up 750KB.
We do ship each Blink XT2 with a camera mount, mount riser, and two screws. Please note, use of the included screws for the mount will create two holes in the surface of the wall.
