Key Features
- Compatible with Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa The Camera E1 works seamlessly with popular smart home ecosystems, including Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa. It supports Apple HomeKit Secure Video, allowing recordings to be privately analysed and encrypted on devices such as Apple TV or HomePod, with secure iCloud storage. With an iCloud+ subscription, you can access up to 10 days of activity from one or more cameras.
- Crystal-Clear 2K HD with Pan & Tilt Enjoy 2K high-definition video and monitor events in real time. The camera features two-way audio, night vision, and 360° pan-and-tilt functionality, making it easy to monitor activity across large spaces. It is suitable for checking on children, communicating with family, or keeping an eye on your home.
- Enhanced Privacy Protection The E1 prioritises privacy with a customisable privacy mode. Rotate the camera to a specific position, disable monitoring, or hide selected areas from view. Audio recording and the microphone can also be turned off manually or through automation. WPA3 support further strengthens network security and helps reduce potential vulnerabilities.
- 24/7 Recording and Flexible Storage Record continuously for added peace of mind by inserting a microSD card, sold separately. Alternatively, use cloud storage with 24-hour event storage included free of charge. Multiple local and cloud storage options provide flexibility, allowing you to store recordings in the way that best suits your needs.
- Smart Person Detection and Automation The E1 uses AI to detect human shapes and provides up to 350° tracking. Integrate it with other Aqara devices to create smart automations. For example, lights can turn on when the camera detects someone in a hallway, or the camera can rotate to a specific position when a front-door sensor is triggered.
- Easy Installation and Reliable Connection Setup is simple with Bluetooth MagicPair technology and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. The camera can be installed horizontally or inverted using the 1/4-inch threaded screw and base. A USB-C power interface provides convenient connection and installation flexibility.
