Product details
Protect your home and your privacy with the 4-in-1 indoor camera. With the automatic lens cover, which completely covers the lens when the camera is deactivated, you can determine what the camera sees. In minutes, you can install a video system that streams live 2K video directly to your smartphone. The plug-in camera detects motion and alerts you in real time so you can respond immediately with 2-way audio or the integrated intrusion alarm.
