Eve Cam Available for Pre-Order
The feature-rich, secure HomeKit-only indoor camera starts shipping June 23
San Francisco, CA – June 3rd, 2020 – Eve Systems today announced that the indoor security camera, Eve Cam, will be available beginning Tuesday, June 23rd, with pre-orders starting immediately. Eve Cam offers a state-of-the art feature set and user experience, ranging from seamless installation and rich notifications to fully automatic, presence-based operation that allows the camera to deactivate when everyone is home. Eve Cam is made exclusively for Apple HomeKit Secure Video, delivering data security and privacy by design. Live images are never streamed through a server, and recordings are stored securely and fully encrypted in the user’s iCloud.
Eve Cam is available for pre-order from the Eve Store at a price of 149.95 USD/EUR and will start shipping on June 23rd. It will be available from Amazon and Apple Online starting July.
“As we expand the Eve portfolio with home surveillance products, our pledge that what happens at home has to stay at home rings truer than ever”, says Jerome Gackel, CEO of Eve Systems. “That’s precisely why Eve Cam has been designed from the ground up for Apple HomeKit Secure Video only.”
Take control of your home security
Eve Cam offers an easy and transparent way to protect the home from intruders and keep an eye on pets and property. Depending on how and where it operates, the user decides when it should be on and how it should respond to activity. Apple TV, HomePod, or iPad running as a home hub intelligently determine when a person, animal, or vehicle is in the video. In order to securely store activity detected by Eve Cam, HomeKit Secure Video relies on iCloud. A single camera can be added to a 200 GB storage plan or up to five cameras to a 2 TB plan at no additional cost. Camera recordings don’t count against the iCloud storage limit.
Beyond the camera
Whether the camera’s video stream is on or not, the integrated motion sensor can be used to keep track of activity around the house. The Eve app displays every event on a timeline so no incident goes unnoticed. And through automations based on motion, Eve Cam will turn on HomeKit enabled lamps, light switches and power outlets – Eve products and third party accessories alike.
