After becoming the first DIY smart home security system to offer HomeKit support, Abode has announced its first smart camera at CES to integrate with the rest of its smart home security lineup. It offers nice versatility as it can be used inside, outside, and even as a doorbell with an included mount.
Abode announced the details in a press release today:
The new versatile smart camera comes as a nice addition to fill out its Iota smart security system that offers HomeKit support. It can even be used as a doorbell with a mount that Abode includes with the camera.
Abode is planning to launch the Outdoor/Indoor Smart camera by March and has HomeKit certification in the works with Apple. The company is shooting for a $199 price point.
Features include:
- Half the size of a deck of playing cards
- Facial recognition
- Included doorbell mount
- IR LED for low-light vision
- Built-in microphone and speaker for two-way communication
- Light sensor
- Wide angle lens with 152-degree field of view
- 1920 x 1080 resolution
- IP65 dust and water resistance
- Can be used with or without the Abode Smart Gateway
