Update: Orders are now open.
Eve Cam is available for pre-order from Eve Store at a price of USD 149.95 USD and will start shipping on June 23. It will be available on apple.com and Amazon starting in July.
Eve Systems announced Eve Cam, which she describes as "the first indoor camera made exclusively for Apple's secure HomeKit video, built from the ground up to keep your data safe" ...
HomeKit Secure Video was first announced at WWDC in the summer and was available with iOS 13.2. Apple has done a lot of privacy functions, and Eve does the same.
With HomeKit Secure Video, the activity detected by a compatible camera such as Eve Cam is privately analyzed by the home hub (Apple TV or HomePod) using information on the device to determine if people or pets are present.
When an important activity is detected, you and anyone you share HomeKit Home with will receive a rich notification that lets you view the video right from the iPhone lock screen.
The recorded video is available for viewing for ten days from the Home application. It's securely stored for free in supported iCloud accounts and doesn't take into account your storage limit.
"Home security movies are extremely personal, which is why choosing the right interior room is so important," says Jerome Gackel, CEO, Eve Systems. "Eve Cam is the first camera designed exclusively for Apple HomeKit Secure Video, allowing you to keep a close eye on your home while protecting the privacy of your personal space at all times."
Logitech Circle 2 was the first camera to accept HomeKit Secure Video, with Apple recording eufyCam 2, eufyCam 2C, Netatmo Smart Interior Camera, Netatmo Smart Outdoor Camera and Robin ProLine Doorbell among others. Eve Cam is a new addition to this list.
I got an early hands-on with the Logitech Circle 2, where Zac described it as a good start, but which now lacks a few key features.
You'll have some time to wait for Eve Cam, which the company says will be available in early April, but will be priced at $ 149.95. It also offers a decent set of features.
- The 150 ° camera and 1080p high resolution challenge give you an unmistakable view
- Due to the infrared night vision, you will be able to tell if you have an intruder the house, or your children raid the refrigerator
- Using the built-in microphone and speaker, you can talk to whoever you are home at any time
- With the 360 ° x 180 ° adjustable magnetic camera, you can easily install Eve Cam almost anywhere
You will need an iPhone or iPad running iOS 13.2 or later and a HomePod or Apple TV to act as a hub. A 200 GB + iCloud storage plan is also required.
Eve also announced a HomeKit compatible water detector, Water Guard.
This HomeKit activated water leak detector will alert you with an audible and visible alarm. You also get instant notifications on your iPhone or Apple Watch. It comes with a 6.5 ft full sensor cable that can be easily extended. Eve Water Guard will begin shipping on February 7, 2020, at a price of $ 79.95.
It alerts you acoustically with its 100 dB siren, visually through a red light that flashes and notifies you via iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch.
Perfect for bathroom, common room, basement and under sinks and water pipes.
Finally, the Eve Energy smart switch gets a more compact form factor and a lower price.
With a clean, white, bar-style design that doesn't block nearby outlets, Eve Energy provides the same popular energy monitoring and autonomous planning features as its predecessor. Eve Energy starts shipping on January 27, 2020, at a price of only $ 39.95.
