With an 8MP sensor and 4K resolution, the camera captures detailed footage of faces, vehicles, clothing, packages and activity around your property. Its Smart Motion Detection identifies people and vehicles, helping reduce unnecessary alerts caused by trees, animals or other movement.
The built-in microphone and speaker provide two-way talk, allowing you to communicate with visitors, delivery drivers or unwanted guests through the app. You can also use pre-recorded Quick Response messages.
For active deterrence, the camera includes motion-activated warning lights, a customizable Smart Security Lighting LED band and a built-in siren. Colour Night Vision helps preserve important details in low-light conditions, while infrared night vision reaches up to approximately 98 feet.
