I’ve got the most amazing competition for you to win a 2 Camera Blink XT home security set.
We’ve been testing it out at home and I am beyond impressed. The Blink XT cameras are suitable for outdoor use. They are waterproof and have no wires thanks to the clever use of power, each camera uses two standard AA lithium batteries which will last for two years.
Set up is really simple and everything you need is in the box. All you need to do is download the App which on is available on iOS and Android.
You will for guided through each step to connect and optimise your cameras and you can easily add more at a later date. Honestly, the hardest thing to do was attach them to the wall but that was because our drill is rubbish.
Once they are set up you can view a live stream via the app and it will also record and save snippets of film for you when it detects motion. All for free! No monthly charges or expensive accounts. Oh and the video is only 1080p Full HD quality.
It gets better. Because Blink links with IFTTT you can get it to do some pretty awesome stuff. For example, you can arm and disarm your system using Google Home. Or set it up to arm when your Nest account shows you as being away from home. Awesome. I’ve done both these things and now don’t have to think about it.
It links up with Alexa too, I don’t have an Alexa so haven’t tested this out, I’m fully Google I am.
I love the notifications you get. They are unobtrusive and give me peace of mind. I hop in and watch in real time or catch up with the recording when I get a second. With infrared night vision I can keep an eye on things at any time of day.
I would certainly add to my system. Maybe with an indoor camera or a siren. Infact, I may do both. Why not when it’s so straight forward.
I love that once you’ve paid for the cameras that’s it. No monthly charges, even though you’re getting what would be considered premium and chargeable features with most other systems. I’ve tried Motorola’s Focus 85 via the Hubble app, D-Links Home Range and even BT’s indoor camera monitors. All of them require a paid for account if you want to record video, oh and all of them require wires too.
This is by far my favourite system. For ease of use, the app and features. It is also the best for cost. All these factors are better in comparison to the others I have tested. If you could zoom and rotate like the Motorola and add more home devices, like smart plugs and motion sensors like you can with D-Link this would be a formidable system. Chances are they have already thought of this.
I’m going to quickly mention the app. The app is brilliant. I have to admit, I was concerned by some of the recent feedback on the Google play store. It wasn’t great and referred to a recent update causing issues. But I haven’t had a single problem. I can see everything I need to see. Set up everything I need to set up. It’s not the prettiest looking app out there but it’s easy to use, works well and is reliable.
Blink units can be purchased on amazon.co.uk or directly through the brand’s website at blinkforhome.co.uk

There are regular break ins in our area and this would give us peace of mind if we had this watching!

That’s awful!

Interesting blog, thanks 🙂
fab prize
Just what I need!! We keep getting broken into and I’d love to catch the little scroat in the act!!
its is very compact and innovative
A great review and giveaway. Thank you very much.
GREAT GIVEAWAY
A very useful prize. Thank you for the chance to win 💕
Good luck
This looks really useful. I get very scared at night
That’s horrible for you. Good luck
Very small and neat camera
A very useful prize!
Great for adding some extra security!
These cameras do look really good, as well as for safety I would use them to find the culprit that lets their dog mess in our front garden.
Great prize, thank you
I have been looking at getting one of these. I live on the grounds of a stately home in the coach house ( sounds a lot posher than it is! ) and we have an electric gate but only have intercom to the big house so I have no idea if someone is at the gate and wants to see me. A camera and doorbell which goes straight to my phone is perfect for my place. and it would help me feel more secure.
These look great for improving security, would love to win one 🙂
Maybe this would stop my mum worrying so much, it’s always possible…
Nothing will stop that!! But it may help
Awesome!
These cameras sound absolutely amazing! My dad would be over the moon with them
this looks amazing, would love to win!
I would feel safer if I had this.
This would be great for my son who’s got a new baby (his car), he would feel safer with this outside
Brilliant! Good luck x
Home security is becoming more and more of a necessity these days, sadly. This set looks great and would certainly give peace of mind!
It really does make you feel more secure
Such a good idea, you can never take home security seriously enough!
It’s interesting to see what goes on when you are out, even if it’s just the wildlife
Fab, could be doing with some extra security
I would love to win this after 2 attempts of someone trying to get into our cars
That’s awful. Good luck in the competition. Xx
I would really love this set up at home – peace of mind
Good luck x
This would be perfect for the one side of our house that’s it’s difficult to see when you’re indoors!
They are so handy, for security and also just interesting too. We had a deer in our front garden yesterday and the camera caught it. Good luck
this would be ideal!
This looks great love to feel more secure at home after recent breakin
I feel better with ours on
This is great, very very useful
These cameras are fantastic!
I’m obsessed with ours. They actually make me feel safer. As a general rule they’re turned off when we’re home. But l was hone alone the other night, hearing all the sounds, so l popped them on and just felt better
This is a great prize, fingers crossed
this would be great for my family home we currently do have a camera on the property but it has seen better days x

I love my blink camera but want to cover the back of my house now too. It was so easy to set up and the picture quality is brilliant too.
Oo you’d be able to see so much with all those cameras. Good luck!
These would be good for my brother – he’s so paranoid about leaving his girlfriend and their first baby at home while he works!
Oh my goodness these cameras are amazing! We’re looking to update our old cctv as it’s not smart phone friendly and the fact that these are wireless and last two years with batteries is just fab!! I’ve entered the giveaway and followed you and can’t wait to read more of your blog. Have a fab Friday!

Would love to win this!
Good luck
I can’t believe that you even have to have a subscription for some! Unbelievable. Thanks for the review, this will be very useful to have.
I know!!! Most you can use for free but not store anything it records without paying them, what use is that
This looks a very useful gadget… Thanks for the chance!
A pleasure, good luck x
I can see this being very useful.
What a great piece of kit to keep your home extra safe 🙂
Cameras are so small nowadays you are probably being filmed everywhere you go?
Really good to have, as a backup
Yes so good
Got burgled 20 years ago, wish these were around then crime seems to be getting worse and the police fewer and fewer
It’s a horrible feeling being burgled isn’t it. We were burgled about 5 years ago and it was nasty
My home is at the end of a cul-del-sac and has poor lighting, I have been looking for a security camera which will act as a deterrent for would-be intruders and give me peace of mind. I have recently turned my alarm off as the wiring keeps shorting and the alarm goes of at random times of day and NIGHT. The fact that this requires no wiring is a great positive. I have my fingers crossed for this fabulous prize.
These are so easy to set up and all you’d ever have to do is change the batteries every couple of years
Great prize, would be able to see what my dogs get up to when I’m out.
I love watching the cat, it’s hilarious
These are great, perfect size.
I like how small and compact they are too
This looks and sound amazing
Good luck
This brilliant I have been looking at these to buy it puts your mind at ease when you have kids in the house.

great prize – Would love to win thank you
Good luck x
This would be great for the times that my hubby works away. I would feel so much safer
Perfect. Good luck x
Great looking piece of kit.
This would be great, we sometimes go through spates of shed robberies, plus my husband takes pride in his 1969 beetle, so he would be reassuring having security over that.
This would make me feel more secure when I’m at home on my own
Good luck x
It does for me! Good luck x
just moved house so this would be fantastic to win
Good luck x
Good luck x
This looks so perfect. We have just moved house and I’m a little nervous opening the door in my new home. This would make me feel so much more comfortable.
These would be perfect. Quick look and see whose there
I love the look of these! We are moving to a new area soon and with my partner working away for weeks at a time this type of thing would make me feel so much safer!
It’s just an extra layer of security isn’t it
This system means just that little bit extra peace of mind
It certainly does
What a fab prize,and it would also give me peace of mind when not at home
Good luck
Great for peace of mind.
Most certainly is.
Oo wow complete peace of mind – heard and read so many great things about these
They are fabulous Margaret. I’m really impressed.
sounds very impressive, have been thinking about getting something like this as there have been so many break ins around the are lately
They are really good. It’s just a little thing but l liked that there was a window sticker in the box to let people know the house had cameras. A simple deterrent. Then obviously the cams themselves
It’s a brilliant giveaway
Good luck
would love on of these!
I’m so happy with ours. Good luck!
these would be great we are moving soon due to hubbys job and the are isn’t as nice so these would be super for that xx
They’d give a bit of peace of mind for sure x
Great giveaway, thanks for the chance.

Love your honest and “real world” review of the Blink. I think it’s a neat way to give you piece of mind while your away from home.

Would love to win this, so useful.
It’s brilliant. I love my set
Lovely giveaway

Great prize – security it so important
It is. I like seeing who comes and goes, l get a lot of deliveries so it’s handy to know if something has been left or not.

Another great prize thank you!
The cameras are great and have even stood up to all this snow and the freezing temperatures
