Blink doorbell angle mounts: sizes and options
Quick answer
Blink does not sell an angle wedge for the Blink Video Doorbell. To aim one at your walkway you need a third-party wedge. The 2nd gen Blink Video Doorbell is about 130 mm tall, 47 mm wide, and 36.6 mm deep. The older 1st gen body is close in height but narrower, so check which one you own before you buy a wedge.

The Blink Video Doorbell ships with one flat mount. Blink sells no angled version, so if your door faces away from the walkway, the camera does too. A third-party wedge is the fix.
Know your Blink first
The 2nd gen doorbell runs on three AA lithium batteries and weighs 4 ounces. Its body is a bit wider and deeper than the 1st gen, so a snug wedge needs to know which one you own. Check your model in the Blink app before you buy.
| Blink model | Body size | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Video Doorbell (2nd gen) | 130 mm tall, 47 mm wide, 36.6 mm deep (5.12 x 1.85 x 1.44 in) | 4 oz (113 g) |
| Video Doorbell (1st gen) | About 130 mm tall, 42 mm wide, 34 mm deep | Not published |
2nd gen numbers from Blink spec pages. 1st gen numbers are community measured, so treat them as close, not exact. Blink camera view specs did not match across sources, so we leave them out.
Picking the angle
Have someone stand where guests stand and watch the live view. Pick the smallest angle that puts them in frame. Cross-brand wedges that list Blink run from about 20 to 55 degrees. Past 30 degrees, double check the model list on whatever you buy.

What a wedge fixes, and what it does not
A wedge turns the camera to one side. It does not raise or lower the doorbell, and it does not add zoom or change how far the camera sees at night. If your Blink points too high or too low instead of too far left or right, a wedge will not fix that. Check the tilt in the mounting instructions that came with your doorbell first.
Before you order
Check three things first. Find where the doorbell wire comes out of the wall, since a wedge has to leave room for it to pass through. Look at what the mount screws into now: brick, siding, or wood trim, since that changes which screws you need. Then open the Blink app and look at the live view as it sits today. That view is your starting point for how far the camera needs to turn.
If you are not sure how far to turn it
You do not need to know the exact degree before you order. Tell us your Blink model, which way your door faces, and what the live view shows right now. That is enough for us to help you pick a wedge angle instead of guessing at a number.
