More WaterproofGenerally original Blink XT Outdoor camera is no longer weatherproof when USB cover is open,but when it was tightened together by the cover, it made an actual water tight seal to prevent any water from leaking in and onto the USB plug or connection,makes the Blink XT more water-resistant |
Built-In Sun ShadeThe casing has a sun shield on the top to help shade the glare,and it doesn’t change the accuracy of reporting the temperature of the air around or cause any problems like shut down due to higher temp reading |
Prevent blow-downUnlike original Latch-Buckle base, this mount bracket is equipped with screw-fixing base and make your Blink XT more stable both on wall outside. Prevent from getting a lot of false motion alerts when the wind blew and moved my camera itself |

Anyone who owns a Blink camera knows the biggest complaint is the mounting clip that come with them. The limited articulation makes positioning and stability a real headache.Reviewed in the United States on 8 May 2018
These outdoor weather mounts and cases remove many of the issues I have had with mounting the Blink XT cameras outside.
The camera is housed in a 5 screw secured case that itself screws into the camera wall mount with a ball hinge. This mount has a base that, when tightened, will secure the ball hinge in the position that you placed it.
I found this mount much easier to get into the right position with little difficulty.
These mounts are also more secure that those that come with the Blink XT camera. With the old mounts, the camera just snapped into the mount making it very easy to steal. These, while obviously not theft proof (and they don't claim to be), are more involved in their mounting. This allowed me to put the cameras in places that are more easy to reach, because once I used these mounts I was unconcerned that someone would be able to walk off with them so easily.
Some things to note:
It will make battery changes a little more cumbersome having to unscrew the case to get to the camera, but I see this as a benefit to the additional weather proofing and security the case provides. Additionally, the inclusion of a downward facing hole for a power cable means I will be able to eventually connect the camera to power, eliminating the need for frequent battery changes.
The camera itself remains unobstructed. The case fits well, in that it is not exposed to the camera. Additionally, the hood over the lens is also out of sight and provides a good amount of coverage to protect the lens from rain.
The mounts do not appear to affect the signal that the camera needs to function. It's similar to the same signal strength as I had before.
Build quality is good, and each individual mount (in this 3 pack) comes with all the necessary equipment, plus extras in the case of the screws (ie. only 5 are needed for the case screws, but they give you 7). The only required tool I needed was a screwdriver for the wall part of the mount (this set does include a screwdriver for the case screws.)
Overall, I am highly satisfied and will be getting more of them when I expand my camera system.

I really like the Blink XT system I purchased but was very disappointed in the cheap and flimsy mount that came with it. That might be fine for indoors but for an outside security camera it was the weakest link in the system. I could see someone coming in fast from out of range, jumping up and just pulling the camera off of the mount and tossing it aside. Not even enough time to record an image.Reviewed in the United States on 16 May 2018
But with this mount that is not going to happen. It is very secure and much easier to adjust the direction of the camera.
The casing is quite nice and has a sun shield on the top to help shade the lens. I don't need it on my porches but it is a great feature. The casing fits over the camera and there is a port on the bottom to run a cable if you are hard wiring your cameras. I use a battery. While it will be harder to change the battery with this new mount the battery is supposed to last for two years so that is hardly a minus.
The case screws on with five small screws. Seven are included so extra points for including extra screws. They are tiny and a small screwdriver is included. It was a bit tricky to get them screwed down as they are so small and my eyes aren't as young as they used to be. But not what I would call difficult.
The casing attaches to the stem of the mount much more securely than the original mount that came with the camera. That was basically a plastic ring the camera snapped into. With the new casing, you screw the stem onto the casing, then lock it down by twisting a ring. It would take someone time to undo this and take the camera off the mounting. There is an adjustable collar at the base of the stem that allows you to tighten and loosen it for adjusting the direction of the camera. Three sturdy screws mount it to the surface. Four screws are included. Again, extra points for extra screws. I appreciate having an extra screw or two including in anything I buy as it is easy to drop and lose one and screws are so cheap including an extra one should be no problem for anything of quality. There are also screw sleeves for dry wall mounting if this in an indoor application.
All in all I can't praise this system enough. Blink should contact the designer and contract to include this mounting system with all of their XT outdoor cameras. It is far superior to the small little mounts they use for their indoor systems. Those are simply not adequate for outdoor security. This mount is.

I find it hard to believe that a kit rated for OUTDOOR use will have metal parts with an alloy that IS PRONE TO SUCH HORRIBLE RUST. I mean this crap was hit with like 3 showers and its already melting apart. As you can see from the picture, both the mount itself and the screws are all terribly rusty. I definitely DO NOT recommend getting these. Go with another brand.

Great accessory for the Blink XT giving a more secure mount
Reviewed in the United States on 10 May 2018
This hooded mount adds a lot of benefits with few downsides to the Blink XT. I own a total of 8 Blink cameras with three of them being XTs and I have had issues with the Blink provided mount failing allowing the camera to drop or move out of position. Given how the camera is sandwiched between the two pieces of this mount and the three screws to secure it to a wall my fears of my cameras dropping are gone. The mount also makes it easier to connect the Blink XT via usb power in a more weather proof fashion, but it is not full proof.Reviewed in the United States on 10 May 2018
.
Pros:
* Very adjustable mount that can be tighten to lock it into position. This will prevent wind and my kids from changing where it faces casually.
* Built in sun shade. This is very helpful for one I have over my garage watching the driveway to cut down on glare.
* Ability to route the USB cable outside of the mount.
Cons:
* There is no weather stripping or seal between the two halves. Because of this if it was out in the open and you had it on USB power I feel you would need to take additional steps to weather proof it. This could be accomplished with some simple dielectric put around the lip, around the USB connection on the back of the camera so when it was tightened together it made an actual water tight seal to prevent any water from leaking in and onto the USB plug or connection.
