Blink XT2 is an affordable outdoor security camera. For a limited time, Amazon is offering it at an even lower price.

Today only, buy a Blink XT2 camera system from Amazon for $99.99 and get a free Fire TV Stick; the price of the Blink XT2 camera alone is $99.99, so you get Amazon's streaming player for free. This is one of the best Amazon deals we've seen this month and one of the best smart home deals available right now.

The Blink XT2 is one of the best home security cameras available. In our Blink XT2 review, we liked its 1080p video recording and weatherproof (IP65) design; while it doesn't work natively with Google Home, we gave it a 4 out of 5 star rating for overall functionality.

While most security cameras have a circular design, the XT2 is square with rounded corners. Measuring 2.8 x 2.8 x 1.4 inches, it is about the size of a coaster and will not stand out wherever it is mounted.

The Blink XT camera system runs on batteries and takes about 20 minutes to set up. First, the sync module must be connected to Wi-Fi, then the camera must be connected to the sync module; from the Blink app for Android and iOS, the QR code on the back of each device is scanned and linked to an account.

The Blink XT2's 1080p camera has a 110-degree field of view, the same as the Wyze Cam, but narrower than the Samsung SmartThings Cam's 145-degree field of view or the Arlo Q's 130-degree field of view. In addition, the microphone on the Blink XT2 was sensitive enough to pick up the chirps of crickets at night.

Not surprisingly, the Amazon-owned Blink XT2 camera works with Alexa, so you can use the free Fire TV Stick remote control to have Amazon's voice assistant show you the camera's live feed.
