Description
Eve Outdoor Cam exclusively supports Apple HomeKit Secure Video, enabling you to securely store activity detected by Eve Outdoor Cam in iCloud. Using on-device intelligence, Apple TV or HomePod can determine when a person, animal, vehicle, or package is present before securely storing the recording in iCloud for you. A 10-day recording history is available to view in the Apple Home app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
Connection: For maximum range, Eve Outdoor Cam is compatible with 2.4 GHz band networks only. DHCP function must be active on your router, authentication via MAC addresses must be off. HomeKit requires Bonjour so please make sure to disable router tools like “Storm Control” that interfere with the Bonjour protocol (e.g. mDNS, Multicast). Avoid Wi-Fi access points that connect through Powerline/PowerLAN as they are also known to impact Bonjour.
Installation: Eve Outdoor Cam is best installed replacing an existing outdoor light and requires AC power with a connection to ground. For further details on how to install Eve Outdoor Cam, watch the installation video. The camera has to be mounted in an upright position with the camera’s microphone and speaker array facing downwards in order to prevent water damage. Eve Outdoor Cam has been designed to be mounted directly on a wall. Unless your electrical junction box has channels with 60 mm / 2.36 in clearance (center to center), you may need an extra light fixture mounting bracket (not included).
