AI analysis for peace of mind

The local, AI-powered analysis evaluates movements and noises directly on the device. As everyday distractions such as pets and changing shadows are reliably filtered out, you are only alerted to relevant events. This helps you stay calm in your day-to-day life and ensures that you can always have complete confidence in the notifications from the compact system on your smartphone.

Flexible positioning with magnetic base

Thanks to the magnetic stand, you can position the camera securely and adjust the viewing angle with ease. When mounted on the ceiling, the software automatically flips the video image – making it quick and easy to use in everyday life.

FAQs - Your questions, our answers

In our FAQs you will find the answers to the most frequently asked questions - compact, easy to understand and always to the point. Find out everything you need to know to optimally control your smart home!

Can I export or save recordings?

Yes. Saved recordings can be read out and backed up or archived on other devices.

Do the cameras require an Internet connection?

An internet connection is required for remote access via app, push notifications and cloud storage. The cameras are connected to the internet via the local Wi-Fi network.

Can several people access the camera?

Yes. Within a Homematic IP home, authorized users can access live images, recordings and camera functions via the Homematic IP app.

How does motion detection differ between the PIR sensor and AI analysis?

Some models also use a PIR sensor to reliably detect heat movements. In addition, an integrated AI analyzes detected events and can, for example, distinguish people from other movements. This significantly reduces false alarms.

Do the cameras also work at night?

Yes, all Homematic IP cameras have an automatic day and night mode. This produces clear and easily recognizable images even in the dark.

Do I need a paid subscription to use the cameras?

No. Live video, push notifications and local storage on a micro SD card can be used without a paid subscription. Free cloud event clips with a storage period of up to 7 days are also available.

Will I be notified when the camera detects movement?

Yes, all Homematic IP cameras automatically notify you of detected events via push message in the Homematic IP app. This allows you to react directly and open the live stream immediately if required.

Do I necessarily need a micro SD card for recording?

No. You can either save recordings locally on a micro SD card or use free 6-second event clips in the cloud. Cloud clips are available for up to 7 days. When the memory card is full, the oldest recordings are automatically replaced by new events.

Micro SD and micro SDHC cards with a capacity of up to 256 GB are supported. The memory card must be formatted in the FAT32 file system.

How can I view the live image from my camera?

You can access the live video and audio stream of any Homematic IP camera at any time via the Homematic IP app. This allows you to monitor your home in real time from anywhere with an internet connection.
