Eve Outdoor Cam brings HomeKit Secure Video to outdoor floodlights for the first time

Eve’s HomeKit products have been some of my favorites for many years. Between products like the Eve Water Guard and the popular Thread enabled Eve Energy, its commitment to HomeKit has made it a fan favorite for people building a smart home around HomeKit. Today, Eve brings the Eve Outdoor Cam to the market with the first-ever floodlight with HomeKit Secure Video support.

Originally announced back in January, Eve Outdoor Cam is designed with your privacy in mind. The device is built entirely from scratch so that only HomeKit authorized users have remote access to it via a Home Hub (iPad or HomePod). Video recordings stored in iCloud are fully encrypted and securely protected using Apple’s HomeKit Secure Video technology.

Video taken on private property should not be stored in the cloud or exposed to company databases,” Jerome Gackel CEO of 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.

The Motion Light in Eve Outdoor Cam is based on autonomous automations running on device, so it works independently of HomeKit or a Wi-Fi or internet connection. Even if HomeKit Secure Video notification or recordings have been disabled, the Motion Light can respond to all movements. With a built-in ambient light sensor, Eve Outdoor Cam can be set to illuminate the field of view only when it’s dark.
