Camera Overview
The Outdoor Camera 3.0 enhances nearly every aspect of the 2.0 model, building upon our previous version making it the top home security camera. From sharper 4MP video quality to improved Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, this camera is designed to deliver superior protection, clearer footage, and easier installation. Whether you’re safeguarding your home or monitoring a business property, the Camera 3.0 ensures that every detail is captured day or night.
Key Advantages
Integrated Spotlight
The built-in spotlight takes security illumination to the next level. This can be manually activated through Live View or triggered automatically via Perimeter Guard. With top of the line color night vision in color, this allows you to see clear, full-color footage even in the dark. No more grainy black and white footage that can sometimes be difficult to decipher! This camera also offers flexible deterrence modes—solid, pulsating, or blinking light options. The spotlight cannot currently be controlled as an independent light or paired with light automation.
Higher Resolution
The vivid 4MP video is double the pixel count of the previous 2MP model. The result? Sharper, more detailed footage that makes it easier to identify people, vehicles, and activity both day and night.
Cutting Edge Connectivity
One of the key improvements in the Outdoor Camera 3.0 is the integration of Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. This latest wireless standard provides faster speeds, increased capacity, and improved performance in high-density environments. With Wi-Fi 6, you can expect a more stable connection and smoother video streaming, ensuring that you never miss a moment of action. The Wired Outdoor Camera 3.0 is powered by Wi-Fi 6 technology, replacing the older Wi-Fi 5 card for stronger, faster, and more stable connectivity over longer distances.
- Enhanced volume output for clearer deterrence.
- AI Deterrence support is now fully promoted thanks to improved sound volume—ideal for diverse outdoor environments.
- Extreme cold resistance down to -58ºF.
- Streamlined setup eliminates the need for tedious calibration steps when creating recording rules.
Wired Outdoor Camera that is Designed for Superior Protection
When it comes to security cameras, durability is key. The Outdoor Camera 3.0 is built to withstand the elements, with a weatherproof design that can handle rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. When installing your camera, be sure to place it in a shaded area, as prolonged sunlight exposure may impact nighttime performance. This rugged construction ensures that your camera remains operational in any conditions, providing reliable protection for your property.
