Known issue with Motion Detection. Cameras are essentially defective
I purchased several Blink XT2 cameras for the outside perimeter of our home and they work reasonable well so I ordered a pair Blink Mini Cams for the inside.
There seems to be some issue with the motion detection feature with these cameras. There are times where it essentially doesn’t work meaning I can walk across the room, get within inches of the camera, and no motion alerts are generated.
This is extremely disappointing as these cameras are designed to only record when motion is detected. They are essentially defective as the motion detection feature does not work consistently.
This appears to be a known issue with the current firmware but they continue to sell the camera despite the fact they are defective. I plan on returning these cameras.
