Eve Announces Availability of Eve Outdoor Cam

The first floodlight camera designed exclusively for HomeKit Secure Video goes on sale

San Francisco, California – May 17, 2022 – Eve Systems today announced availability of Eve Outdoor Cam, the first ever floodlight camera designed exclusively for Apple HomeKit Secure Video. Eve Outdoor Cam comes in an award-winning, robust meta enclosure and features an autonomous, dimmable motion light with an ultra-bright boost. Through end-to-end encryption of live and recorded video, HomeKit Secure Video keeps the user’s data secure at all times. Apple TV or HomePod take over the task of analyzing locally whether it's a person, pet, vehicle or package in the picture. With just a few taps the user chooses when they want to be notified and if they want to make recordings whenever something is up or only if there is specific activity.

 

“Video recorded on your private property shouldn’t be x-rayed in a cloud, not to mention exposed to some company database,” says Jerome Gackel, CEO, Eve Systems. “Thanks to HomeKit Secure Video, Eve Outdoor Cam relies on your Home Hub’s on-device intelligence to deliver state-of-the-art security with maximum privacy – while bringing a stunning, all-in-one design.”

 

Sleek and sturdy

The hardware of Eve Outdoor Cam has won the renowned Red Dot and iF Design Awards, meeting the highest aesthetic standards. The front of Eve Outdoor Cam's IP55-rated aluminum housing is adorned with an opaque white bezel behind which the LEDs of the dimmable floodlight operate, including the features of brightness boost and infrared night vision illumination. Below it is the full-HD camera with its wide-angle field of view of 157°, the infrared motion sensor with a 8 m / 26 ft range, and a detection angle of 100° (at a mounting height of 2.50 m) as well as a microphone and speaker. Requiring both a neutral wire and a connection to a ground wire, Eve Outdoor Cam is best installed replacing an existing outdoor light – perfect for both your doorstep and patio.

 

Autonomous and ultra-bright

As the front line of defense, motion light is an elementary security feature of Eve Outdoor Cam. It is based on autonomous automation running on the device, so it works independently of HomeKit and the Wi-Fi or Internet connection. This way, the motion light also responds to any movement, even if HomeKit Secure Video notifications or recordings are only for specific originators. It does, however, take into account the motion sensor's sensitivity setting, and in Eve you can adjust the brightness – all the way up to boost. Thanks to the built-in ambient light sensor, Eve Outdoor Cam can be set to illuminate the field of view only when it's dark.

About HomeKit Secure Video

Receive notifications on your iPhone the moment motion is detected, and keep your home safe from intruders. That way you can take immediate action if there’s an unwanted visitor and record evidence at the same time. And by leveraging your home hub's facial recognition capabilities, you'll be notified when people you've tagged in the Photos app enter the field of view so you know exactly who's at your door. Apple TV or HomePod then take over the task of analyzing in the privacy of your own four walls whether it's a person, pet, vehicle or package in the picture. The happenings are only recorded, encrypted, and stored in your iCloud once your recording criteria are met. And only your personal devices have the key to unlocking these recordings. Your camera's live stream never reaches the cloud – not even the iCloud.

Eve Outdoor Cam is available from Eve, Amazon, and later from Apple at a price of USD $249.95.
