Weatherproof Power Cable for Blink XT2 Outdoor & Indoor Camera - Long and Thin 16ft Cable to Continuously Operate your Blink XT2 & Indoor Camera - by Wasserstein (White)

I bought 3 last week,I was shocked to see this when I came back home,Lucky nothing worse happened!!!

Despite the cost, the product ships with very poor quality power supplies that have a tendency to explode, potentially shunting 240v to your device if the circuitry does not blow clear. I would strongly recommend not using the supplied power supplies and plug into something else that can provide a constant 5v. Most routers have this functionality nowadays. It's expensive for a long cable, but the rubber end is a plus point I guess..

As much as I love the Blink cameras, and indeed the battery only devices are absolutely wonderful. The 2years is pushing the limits, with my front of house camera, it didn't last, and so this I am very pleased to find it was available.The fitting is excellent, but you need to make sure you have a good way to handle the hole needed if you're installing outside.A nice length of cable more than suitable for my needs, they only put in feet, we are metric in the UK so sort that out in the description.Now there is no fear about having the longest recording time, and the highest settings for my Blink camera, with no battery issues.I would have liked to have without the Power block because I won't bother to use it, it felt a little cheap and light, so I use my own supply. (but I won't markdown for this)These batteries are quite pricy if you need a change too often over one year this cable set pays for itself in no time.

Fitted the power cable today to my Blink XT2 camera and the16ft length was just right. But I did also use a usb extension cable indoors so the power cable wouldn't be under any tension. Running the cable from my camera around my porch was made easier having the flat cable as it could sit nicely close up to the ceiling and looks neat. And also it could be put through my front door without causing any problems, eliminating the need to drill a hole in the porch brick wall which I was very pleased about. The cable looks well made and having the weatherproof cover connected as part of the micro usb is a great design feature. Time will tell as to the reliability of the cable with regards to the weatherproofing. But as it stands I am happy with the quality and design of the cable and very pleased that I do not now have to keep changing the batteries on my Blink XT2, or reduce the use of the camera because of depleting battery life. I would definitely buy this cable again for additional cameras when I add to my Blink system.

I purchased this Weatherproof Power Cable with the Blink set up as a back up incase batteries didn't last. I ended up using three sets of batteries and then realised how they can drain quickly with heavy use. So why so good....+ NO Drilling holes, which is what I really wanted to achieve. I did not want to drill.. this is ideal back up to batteries+ Very neat design and usability. Came with two plus to USB options, very nice touch.+ SLIM lead means it can be fed through a closed window or door. I tapped mine down with electrical tap and its great.+ Works fine now with power supply.Really like the water proof and water tight usb plug into camera back. Clever work guys!Suggestions...? Perhaps a longer lead option would be great for moving the Blink system further away outdoors....? A white version for indoors with white walls and interiorsLike it a lot

Product arrived well packaged and easy clear instructions on the box. The now plugged in camera is working perfectly and no more worries about batteries failing if running longer clips and enhanced video options or whilst away from home. The only down side is the micro port wire on the camera itself is close to the mount so it’s manoeuvrability is affected a bit but I managed in the end to get a good viewing position, overall a very useful addition to the blink camera as my batteries were only lasting two months not two years! but My home is close to the road so it records most passing pedestrians and cars.

+ This is a great product that eliminates the need to replace batteries all the time (which we had to do due to the way we had our Blink cameras set up!). I like that the length of the cable is generous, thankfully 16ft is enough to reach the nearest wall socket for where our cameras are, (so it may be best to measure how far away your cameras are with a length of string to see if this is suitable for you). The cable is also thin and flat, but still very strong, so it can be closed in suitable areas of door and window frames with ease without worry of damaging the cable.Considering the expense of the batteries used in Blink cameras as well, this is a massive money saver in the long term, and this set is the cheapest I could find on Amazon or elsewhere. Electricity consumption is also pretty much minuscule, our smart meter didn’t even register a change in power usage. Of course, your mileage may vary, but not by much.- The ONLY downside (if you can call it that) is the plug provided is really lightweight. Now this is only potentially a problem as it suggests there’s not really much inside the plug casing itself, which can signal that the plug is cheaply made. However, the plug does have an actual grounding pin made out of metal so it is at least a fully grounded appliance, which doesn’t usually come on cheapo plugs so I think the lightness of the plug stems from the fact it’s only pushing out 5 watts of power, so not really much circuitry is needed for that.

The lead was easy to plug into the back of the camera. The lead is long and flat and is manufactured in black and white - so I bought one of each. Very happy customer. i haven’t tested whether it’s weather proof but I’m confident it will be because of its design.
