This post about Blink wireless home security is sponsored by Amazon but, as always, all opinions are mine.
We’re in the middle of a remodel and it’s actually going really well! Things are on schedule, nothing has been a huge surprise, and we’re doing a-ok living in a space much smaller than we’re used to. Design decisions are easy for me, but there are a few other less glamorous things we wanted to do to the house that I really had no clue about! One was adding a security system of some sort. We live in a safe neighborhood in general but we also live on a super busy street. In addition, we also get a ton of packages delivered that I’m not always home to receive – especially for the next few weeks when no one is living there.



what does BLINK XT actually do?
- Motion-Triggered Alerts – if the camera detects motion, it sends a push notification to your Android or Apple smartphone via their free apps.
- Automatic HD Quality Live & Shareable Saved Video Clips – when the camera detects motion, Blink starts recording the activity and saves it as a shareable video file. You can also peek in on your cameras from your phone anywhere in the world – a live view of your front porch, backyard, driveway – wherever you have a camera!
- 2 Year Battery-Life, NO Wires – Honestly, this was the most appealing thing for me. After hearing from a security guy that we were going to have to make permanent decisions and put wires through brick, I was so pumped to find a solution that you can literally move anywhere. It’s weather-proof, too!
