Love these mounts!!

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2019

I just bought Blink XT and XT2 cameras for the first time and wanted to mount them for greater viewing area. After thorough research, I came across the Aotnex mounts, received them yesterday, and couldn't be happier. They arrive with instructions, are super easy to install, and feel very secure. Very satisfied overall and would highly recommend to others!

Seriously reduces wifi connection

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2019

Added these mounts to a camera that had been installed with the Blink included flimsy mounts. It is located on a detached garage. Ever since I added these covers, the camera can not stay connected to wifi. Back to the flimsy one...

DO NOT MOUNT THESE....

Until you tighten the barrel screw on the neck of the mount first. :)
Then install the camera into its bracket.

The neck will tighten and there is a U shaped notch in the metal. Your actual range of rotation is within that notch.

Sounds like a pain but its really not. basically you need to mount camera (in its bracket and screwed on to the mount), find the position you want it to be mounted in, mark your holes, unscrew the camera and then screw in the mount. If you screw it in first then tighten the barrel on the mount then you might not find the position you want.

I give this mount a 5 star rating regardless of all that because once you install the mount properly, it inst going anywhere. And removing the camera to change the batteries is as simple as unscrewing the camera.

I did not use the included screws though. They are not made of a durable material, the head on the first one i grabbed broke off when running it into house siding. (i just used pliers to remove)

comparison of the two most popular mount/housing kits for Blink XT2 Cameras.

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2019

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I bought and try and compared the two most popular kits with mount brackets and housing offered for Blink X2 Cameras: the Blink XT2 Mount Kit https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07S917J5C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and the Frienda Kit, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FDBRSCP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
They are similar products, but each with different highs and lows. I liked the Blink XT2 the best. The Frienda kit has better camera housing but the XT2 camera mount has a better mount bracket and a better overall appearance and finish . This are the details.
XT2 camera mount
Housing is and most of the bracket is mostly made of plastic. Design is good.
Pros. Easy installation, mount bracket can be easily adjusted once installed. It includes an opening at the bottom so the sound of the speaker can be heard. It includes a very convenient mount for the sync module for the cameras, which otherwise you have to buy separately.
Cons. The top elements protection of the housing is shorter than the Frienda kit, which is not ideal if you are mounting the cameras exposed to the elements. The base of the mount is plastic and it may break if not treated with care.
Frienda Kit.
Pros. Silicone housing has a longer top protection, which is good to protect against sun and rain. It includes a back opening to easily connect a usb power cable for those installing an external power source for the camera. The base of the mount is made of metal, so it could be stronger.
Cons. The screw to secure the moving part of the mount bracket is very difficult to screw into place. if you can succeed in screwing it, it is near to impossible to move and adjust the camera to adjust direction. If you are not extremely careful at the time of inserting the screw into the ridiculously small space available, you could easily strip the soft metal of the bracket. If you want to hear the speaker of the Blink XT2 camera, you have to cut an opening at the bottom of the camera (it appears that this bracket was originally made for a previous Blink camera without speaker).
Both products work. If the larger top protection is important for you, you may consider the Frienda, despite the less than ideal features. Otherwise the XT2 Camera mount would be better overall.

Very clear pics and videos. Easy to personalize to your needs

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2020

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

Have other WIRED cameras at our home, but the Blink XT2 are BY FAR easier to install and the clarity is amazing. You can set specific areas to be captured, so the cameras don't trigger with every little motion. I had to change setting on one camera due to it triggering constantly with traffic. System gave me a heads up that if I kept that setting the battery in that camera would NOT last for the 2 years. Very pleased with them so far. I did buy separate mounting housings that allow the camera more pivot ability and also make the cameras a little less easy to take the cameras.

That's one think I would improve - is the camera just clicking onto the mount. It's a little to easy for someone to grab and run with the camera......if they wanted.

Great System - Misleading Marketing on Battery Life

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2019

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

OK - I'll start off by saying so far I really like the Blink System. Amazon was running a deal on a 5 Camera system for $284 - which is a GREAT value. Motion Sensors seem to be much better than my old Arlo's, and where the Arlo would sometimes be so slow to start recording and the video would miss all the Action, the Bilink system usually gets pretty much everything. Video Quality on the 1080p setting is excellent as well, and the sound seems to have improved with recent updates. Overall a much better value and performer than my previous Arlo system, at 1/3 the price of a modern Arlo system.

Pros:
- No monthly subscription fee required for the cloud storage
- Really good video & features for the price
- Extremely easy to setup and install
- App is pretty intuitive and easy to use to adjust settings as you go.
- Can turn off the blue LED light that lets people know they are being recorded - although would have been nice to know this feature prior to me getting all the camera's mounted in their weather proof housings (I bought those separately).
- Decent night vision & nighttime video. Getting lots of footage of deer coming through the yard in the middle of the night.
- Uses Lithium AA batteries, which are fairly common and inexpensive compared to the CR123A's my previous Arlo uses/eats.

Cons :
- The advertised 2 year battery life is EXTREMELY misleading as this camera is also advertised as 1080p, but it appears those two "features": are mutually exclusive. The two years is based on a 360p video quality (among other settings you'll likely change and be warned it will shorten battery life) - which I'm sorry is mostly useless if you actually want to identify anyone from the footage.
- Battery Status only reports "OK" not batter percentage, so no idea how quickly my batteries are being discharged at the higher settings.
- There is supposed to be a feature where you can designate certain area's of the screen that won't trigger a recording when motion is detected. This is not working for me, and the camera covering the front yard triggers nearly everytime a car drives by or when my neighbors come & go. This will again drain battery life and use of the cloud storage on useless footage
- There is as yet no option to increase cloud storage if you want to keep video's longer, or are generating a lot of videos.

Overall a great value. Knocked one star off for the very misleading battery life, and once I know how long I'm really getting may come back and knock another off if they last anything less than 6 months at what I consider the more reasonable settings for anyone to use who is investing in a camera system.

Very nice. Better than expected.

Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2019

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

These worked out great. It encloses the camera and gives much better security of the camera. The orginal mount allows for anyone to just pull the camera off the mount. This secures the cameras with screws. It is easy to adjust the angle of the camera. The kit also came with two screwdrivers (smalls ones to screw the case together with the provided screws). I didn't expect the screwdrivers. I guess they understand that not everyone has a small Phillips head screwdriver. I think this was a great deal. It even has a knockout on the back of the case if you intend on using the camera on external power. Very well thought out.

Cheap, Weak, Plastic lacking functionality.

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2020

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

These housings/mounts feel very, very cheap in your hands. When tightening the mount I could hear it cracking and flexing. If you are using a solar panel, ther is no covered port or open port on these to insert the solar panel supply cable to the xt2 cameras with these housings. I had to drill into all of the plastic housings to put the cable through and then use silicon to make sure it's waterproof. There's a hole in the bottom of each of the housings but it is in the wrong location for a xt2 power source cable. Supplied screws are of poor quality and strip on the back of the plastic housing. Not real happy with these at all, and right now they're mounted to my house and modified so.... Buyer beware.

Helpful mounting brakets for blink.

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2020

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I wanted a little more protection on the Blink camera's I bought, also more control after I mounted them. I find the case to fit the camera nice and tight and you can still pick up audio and talk through the cameras. They do not obstruct the view of the camera in any way. The only downside and this plagues it seems like all screws as late but the heads strip out really easily, I had one head get so stripped out that I think I would have to drill out the screw to take the mount off. I did also pre-drill the holes so it wasn't like this was working that hard to screw the thing in. After that, I used some higher quality screws.
The mounts do adjust well and I was pleased with the final result.
