Why buy an “old model” when the new one has just arrived? Quite simply because Blink XT2s are still a wise buy… Indeed, if you have read our article concerning the new models, you will probably have noticed that the technical characteristics have hardly changed compared to those presented in our Blink XT2 test, which is all in all logical in less than a year. Apart from the design, the difference is mainly due to the new Sync Module 2 which allows local backup to the detriment of the free lifetime cloud included so far.
editor's note: Blink has modified its general conditions and, according to the FAQ judiciously communicated by one of our readers whom we thank for his vigilance, it would actually be necessary to have activated his system by 15/04/2020 at the latest to be able to benefit from the acquired rights. to the free cloud for life.
The Blink system with a camera is now available from 89.99 € with 1 camera, be one 25% discount allowing you tosave 30 € on purchase and much more in the long term… A good plan to seize as soon as possible!

Can I add Blink Indoor and Outdoor cameras to my existing Blink system?
Yes. Additionally, if you add Blink Indoor and Outdoor cameras to an existing Blink system that was activated on or before 15/4/20, you will be grandfathered into your current cloud storage model in the Blink app. Systems activated after 15/4/20 will receive motion alerts and will be able to enter Live Mode for free, with the ability to access Blink app video recordings through a cloud storage subscription. Local storage options are available with the Sync Module 2 and a removable USB storage drive.
Damn, however, we had a screen confirming the free cloud on an installation made in August 2020. It's strange, but thank you for drawing our attention to this subject, we will be sure to check this point. 🙂 While waiting for a response from Blink, we have modified the article. Thank you again for your vigilance.
