Blink XT2 - User Manual

What's the Difference Between Blink XT and
XT2
There are a few subtle differences between the Blink XT and XT2 camera. We will cover those
differences in this article.
First and most important is the speaker in the bottom. You’ll see 15 small holes on the bottom of
the camera. This is where the sound comes out when you’re talking to someone you see on
camera. This speaker is what enables the XT2 to have two-way audio.
The next difference is on the front of the camera. The blink logo on the bottom and the outline of
the center plastic is a light shade of grey on the new XT2.
