Not installed but seems good for the intended job of keeping one camera outdoors... yet, the whome battery replacement gets more difficult with this... assuming they last for even a year... not a big deal!!

I really like the Blink XT system I purchased but was very disappointed in the cheap and flimsy mount that came with it. That might be fine for indoors but for an outside security camera it was the weakest link in the system. I could see someone coming in fast from out of range, jumping up and just pulling the camera off of the mount and tossing it aside. Not even enough time to record an image.

But with this mount that is not going to happen. It is very secure and much easier to adjust the direction of the camera.

The casing is quite nice and has a sun shield on the top to help shade the lens. I don't need it on my porches but it is a great feature. The casing fits over the camera and there is a port on the bottom to run a cable if you are hard wiring your cameras. I use a battery. While it will be harder to change the battery with this new mount the battery is supposed to last for two years so that is hardly a minus.

The case screws on with five small screws. Seven are included so extra points for including extra screws. They are tiny and a small screwdriver is included. It was a bit tricky to get them screwed down as they are so small and my eyes aren't as young as they used to be. But not what I would call difficult.

The casing attaches to the stem of the mount much more securely than the original mount that came with the camera. That was basically a plastic ring the camera snapped into. With the new casing, you screw the stem onto the casing, then lock it down by twisting a ring. It would take someone time to undo this and take the camera off the mounting. There is an adjustable collar at the base of the stem that allows you to tighten and loosen it for adjusting the direction of the camera. Three sturdy screws mount it to the surface. Four screws are included. Again, extra points for extra screws. I appreciate having an extra screw or two including in anything I buy as it is easy to drop and lose one and screws are so cheap including an extra one should be no problem for anything of quality. There are also screw sleeves for dry wall mounting if this in an indoor application.

All in all I can't praise this system enough. Blink should contact the designer and contract to include this mounting system with all of their XT outdoor cameras. It is far superior to the small little mounts they use for their indoor systems. Those are simply not adequate for outdoor security. This mount is.

I ordered these late last week after searching for a replacement mount/bracket for my external Blink XT cameras. The mount that comes with them are very flimsy and hard to get in the correct orientation. These are more like the mounts you would find with a professional camera solution. Upon receiving the box, I was impressed with the quality of the packaging and the contents. There were no instructions, besides an illustration on the side of the box. Upon opening I found the following:

Qty. 3 Camera Holders (Front and Rear Plates)
Qty. 3 Wall Mounts
Qty. 3 Packages of Wall Mount Screws and Anchors (4 screws and anchors in a package, so one extra as a bonus)
Qty. 3 Packages of screws for plates and a mini screw driver (again an extra screw is provided).

Setup was simple, and i no time i had them mounted in place of one of my cameras. Overall this was an excellent buy, and provides for a better overall mounting experience. Gives much more freedom in orientation and holds the camera very secure. This is what the cameras should have had initially. I only have a few complaints (cons below), that if those are addressed, this would be a perfect product (as it is now, it is a very very good upgrade).

Pros:
1.) More Secure than other Mount
2.) More flexibility and Range of Motion
3.) Excellent Quality
4.) Great Packaging

Cons:
1.) Seems to be a little slop of the camera inside the mount. Some foam tape inside to hold it when compressed together would be perfect.
2.) More difficult to get to the batteries. An easier mechanism for opening the two halves would be ideal (have to remove 5 screws).
3.) Wall mount screws seem to be a little soft (one rounded during install).

Durable design and should work well but someone forgot to add the small screws that are used to keep the case together. I could not find a way to contact customer service so I have to return it.

Hi everyone,

Just received the package and want to drop a few words from my initial experience on this product.
The packaging leaves nothing to imagination. You can see two scenarios for the Blink XT Wall-Mounted Bracket. You see an indoor and outdoor view (Wet/Dry). I ordered the 3-Pack and in my opinion, it is worth it. Out of the box, you notice that the contents of the box is meant to be safe in transit.
What is inside:
3 x Front Plates
3 x Back Plates
3 x Wall-Mounts
3 x Sets of Fillips screwdrivers and screws to close the covers.
Each Wall-Mount comes with all the hardware needed for either Drywall/Brick wall install and screws.

Pros:
1) Good quality.
2) Easy to assemble.
3) Can be a self-install if you have a drill and a little elbow grease.
4) All the needed hardware included.
5) Looks like you can paint it with some Rus-Oleum paint if current Black color is not for you.

Cons:
1) Only comes in Black color at the moment. Would recommend making other color options available (Red Brick, White, Yellow, etc.,)

All in all, I would recommend this product without a second thought. Check out posted pictures and the un-boxing video and outside mounting of my camera.

Side project update: can be used as a case for the Blink original camera too. Disclaimer, will need to center the original camera and fill in extra space with filler. See result photos.
