LUXEMBOURG— 24 July, 2019—Amazon today announced the all-new Blink XT2 is now available in the United Kingdom. Blink XT2 is the next-generation outdoor/indoor, battery-powered, 1080p HD video smart security camera now with two-way talk. With Blink’s exclusive new chip technology, Blink XT2 features double the video usage of the original Blink XT when recording video and has enhanced motion detection. Plus, Blink XT2 is wire-free, making it easy to install indoors or out for complete coverage and peace of mind. Blink XT2 is available for purchase today, starting at just £89.99 with cloud storage at no additional cost and no monthly fees or service contracts required. New customers can purchase a starter system, inclusive of the Blink XT2 and required Blink Sync Module, for £99.99.

Blink XT2 is the first device to feature Blink’s exclusive new chip technology, making it even more efficient. Blink XT2 can record up to 80,000 seconds of video on a single set of AA lithium batteries, twice as much as its predecessor Blink XT, when used for Live View and motion-activated recording—all with the same two-year battery life. It also comes with enhanced motion detection, including customisable micro-activity zones for more accurate motion detection and reduced false motion alerts, so you are alerted only of the movement that matters.

“We’re excited to bring customers a new and improved product with the same standout features they know and love, such as two year battery life, plus new features like supporting  double the usage within this same two-year battery life, two-way talk, and enhanced motion detection to further improve the customer experience,” said Eric Saarnio, Head of Amazon Devices EU. “Starting at just £89.99, the all-new Blink XT2 provides an affordable and high-performing option for customers seeking whole-home security and peace of mind.”

Two-way talk provides added security by allowing you to have conversations with whomever is at your home, whether you’re home or away. Simply use the microphone talk button in the Blink app to greet guests or scare off bad actors no matter where you are.  Blink XT2 will also store your clips for free on the cloud, so you can review or share whenever you want. Additionally, you can use the live view recording feature to capture and save any live streaming events you wish to review or share later. Blink XT2 also works with Alexa for added convenience. Just say, “Alexa, show me the [camera name]” to view your livestream on your Echo Spot, Echo Show, or Fire TV.
