Description

Battery and Wi-Fi 6 that free you from cables

The camera runs on a built-in 20.44 Wh battery and joins your home network over Wi-Fi 6 with WPA3 encryption. No network cable or power outlet is needed, so it can go where running a wire is impractical. The PIR sensor reacts to heat-emitting movement, while human and vehicle detection cuts down on pointless alerts. A magnetic base and ceiling or wall mounting let you aim it quickly and move it later.

Who this wireless camera is for

Homeowners and cottage owners who want to watch a front door, yard or driveway, and small retail units or offices where pulling cables would be a hassle. Two-way audio, a built-in siren and a light let you talk to a visitor or scare off an intruder straight from your phone.
