All-new Blink Video Doorbell Wedge Mount – Black
Imagine you’ve just ordered a smart little accessory that promises to tweak your Blink Video Doorbell just right—no fancy fluff, just something practical to angle your camera so you actually see people’s faces, not the sky. That’s exactly what this wedge mount sets out to do.
This vertical wedge mount is designed exclusively for the second-generation Blink Video Doorbell. Inside the box, you’ll find the wedge itself and four mounting screws—nothing more, nothing less.
So, here’s why it matters. The default Blink mount aims the camera straight ahead, which might work fine for some doorways. But what if your doorbell sits too high, or your porch layout means you’re mostly capturing the upper frame or sky? That’s where the wedge steps in. It gives the camera a subtle vertical tilt—just five degrees up or down according to the official instructions. That gentle adjustment helps bring the focus where you need it: faces, packages, and ground-level activity instead of rooftops and clouds.
Setting it up is straightforward. The process mirrors the standard Blink installation: assemble the mount, attach it roughly 40 to 48 inches above ground—just like the recommended mounting height—drill in using the included screws, then snap the backplate and doorbell onto it. It’s intuitive, even for folks who’ve never drilled a hole in their wall.
In real use, I’ve found this mount transforms your view. You still get that crisp Blink feed—with quick live view responses and respectable video clarity—but now it’s framed where it matters most. The tilt isn’t dramatic, but enough to shift focus to more relevant details like doorstep interactions or parcel drop-offs.
On the flip side, if your porch is already flat, well-lit, and perfectly aligned, the wedge might feel unnecessary. It doesn’t add weatherproofing or extra stabilization—it’s purely for improving your viewing angle. Also, Blink mounts are pretty generic, so if you were hoping for big, adjustable range or multi-axis movement—you’ll want to look elsewhere.
Value-wise, the wedge is a tiny, affordable add-on that gives you peace of mind. Compared to a flat plate, it’s not essential—but if your setup feels off-kilter, that small gradient shift could be worth it. Alternates include a corner mount for horizontal adjustment, or third-party mounts that offer steeper tilts—but those often cost more and may not align perfectly.
Materials feel durable enough for outdoor use—plastic composite but solid—and with the Blink ecosystem, you trust that it’ll stand up to rain and sun. I haven’t run into reports of failure or warping over time. In the Blink support docs, it’s presented as a simple, functional solution rather than a long-term fatigue concern.
Because it’s just a passive mount, there’s no firmware or software tie-in—so nothing to update or worry about on that front.
All considered, the wedge mount delivers exactly what it promises: a subtle vertical adjustment to get the best angle from your Blink Video Doorbell Gen 2. If your current angle skews too high or you’re missing ground-level activity, this is a clean, cheap fix. If everything already looks good, it might be unnecessary overhead.
