Following its indoor surveillance camera, designed exclusively for interacting with HomeKit, Eve has announced a model that specializes in video surveillance of the outside of your home. And if the company is to be believed, it claims that the Outdoor Cam is inherently the first floodlight camera built specifically for HomeKit. It should be noted right away that Outdoor Cam is based on fully protected, “safe HomeKit video”, and when any suspicious activity is detected, you will automatically receive appropriate notifications on your smartphone so that you can do something.
And by the way, Outdoor Cam automatically connects to the smart features of Apple TV or HomePod on the device. And this is done specifically in order to automatically record movements, and determine the difference between people, vehicles, pets and parcels. This way, you don’t have to worry about the camera triggering a false alarm. And by the way, if we continue to refer to the manufacturer’s message, then the new product, just like many of its other products, was developed primarily taking into account a huge number of data security requirements.
That is why absolutely all recordings will be stored in iCloud, and you will be able to view them for 10 days through the Home application on iPhone, iPad and Mac from the moment they were taken. It is also not a big surprise or surprise that the Outdoor Cam has end-to-end encryption. So only the owner has the ability to view videos and recordings in real time. It is also extremely important that the aforementioned camera is capable of recording video in 1080p resolution at 24 frames per second. It has a completely normal field of view, 157 degrees, as well as two-way voice communication. And by the way, the outdoor camera can detect movement up to 9.1 meters away with infrared night vision.
But be that as it may, it is worth realizing that this is not the only outdoor camera today that works with HomeKit Secure Video. An example is the Netatmo outdoor camera, which does the same thing. Still, it’s still pretty interesting to see a smart security camera that requires Apple devices to run. And yes, the Eve Outdoor Cam will be available on April 5 for $ 250.
