00:00:05.942 --> 00:00:07.583
A very warm hello to you all.


00:00:07.603 --> 00:00:15.208
You may already have heard that at Light and Building we announced various cameras for the Homematic IP System.


00:00:15.228 --> 00:00:23.834
Today I’ve brought them all along in a video for you and would like to tell you a bit about the differences between the various camera types.


00:00:24.514 --> 00:00:30.603
First of all, there are three different types of cameras, broadly speaking.


00:00:30.643 --> 00:00:39.415
We have indoor cameras for you, we have outdoor cameras, but also battery-powered cameras, and I’d say let’s start with the indoor camera.


00:00:40.097 --> 00:00:48.000
There’s the Basic model and the Plus model, both available in a white design.


00:00:48.040 --> 00:00:58.765
And they differ in that the Basic camera sits on a magnetic base and is positioned manually,


00:00:58.805 --> 00:01:09.410
whereas the Plus camera is electrically adjustable, meaning it can, of course, be moved to a specific position via the Homematic IP app.


00:01:10.110 --> 00:01:16.233
Otherwise, in terms of the adjustable parameters, they are actually no different from one another.


00:01:16.253 --> 00:01:25.478
Both cameras support a two-way audio function and, of course, offer recording options via our cloud,


00:01:25.558 --> 00:01:33.962
but also via an inserted SD card, and you can record to these at any time and then, of course, access the footage via the Homematic IP app.


00:01:34.742 --> 00:01:41.784
In addition to the two-way audio function, both indoor cameras also have a built-in alarm siren, which you can use as well.


00:01:42.865 --> 00:01:46.666
As well as the indoor cameras, we also have two outdoor cameras for you.


00:01:46.706 --> 00:01:54.829
One is right here to my right; this is the outdoor camera, which is available in white and anthracite.


00:01:55.409 --> 00:01:58.570
This one is electrically adjustable in two directions.


00:01:58.590 --> 00:02:03.192
You can pan it electrically both horizontally and vertically.


00:02:03.232 --> 00:02:07.574
Of course, you can also do all this via the Homematic IP app.


00:02:07.594 --> 00:02:11.495
It’s also worth noting that an SD card can be inserted.


00:02:11.535 --> 00:02:15.537
You can also record to the cloud or to an SD card.


00:02:15.577 --> 00:02:18.478
An alarm siren is also built in here.


00:02:19.079 --> 00:02:23.325
and the two-way audio function can, of course, also be used.


00:02:23.365 --> 00:02:30.156
The second external camera, which is here to my left, is a low-light camera.


00:02:30.196 --> 00:02:33.701
This is also available in two design variants: white and anthracite.


00:02:34.582 --> 00:02:43.764
It can be swivelled electrically in one direction, but it also has a really cool feature: a built-in light,


00:02:43.785 --> 00:02:52.568
which you can, of course, switch on and off via the Homematic IP app, and it operates directly on a 230-volt supply.


00:02:53.008 --> 00:02:59.831
This means, in principle, you can remove an old façade light and install this outdoor light camera in its place.


00:02:59.851 --> 00:03:04.912
Yes, and just like that you’ve not only got an outdoor light, but also a camera to boot.


00:03:04.952 --> 00:03:09.074
Of course, these also come with two-way audio and an alarm siren.


00:03:09.981 --> 00:03:13.604
Then we come to battery-powered cameras.


00:03:13.624 --> 00:03:15.825
We have two of these available.


00:03:15.925 --> 00:03:22.130
We have one here; this is the video doorbell, which is also a really cool product.


00:03:22.169 --> 00:03:26.433
Here too, two design variants are available: anthracite and white.


00:03:27.720 --> 00:03:33.063
The video doorbell essentially replaces traditional, conventional doorbells.


00:03:33.103 --> 00:03:43.630
It can be powered by a battery, but also has two connections on the back for the doorbell wire, so it can be.
 

00:03:46.211 --> 00:03:49.033
It also has a doorbell button, of course.


00:03:49.093 --> 00:03:57.178
And when you press this, you’ll naturally receive a corresponding notification via the push function in the Homematic IP app.


00:03:57.518 --> 00:04:06.385
The second battery-powered camera – you can see it here – is a battery-powered camera available exclusively in the white design variant.


00:04:06.425 --> 00:04:08.766
You could place it anywhere, i.e.


00:04:08.786 --> 00:04:15.731
it doesn’t need a mains power supply; it’s charged once and then powers itself for a certain period of time.


00:04:15.771 --> 00:04:19.955
Of course, you’ll need to recharge it again when the battery level gets low.


00:04:20.815 --> 00:04:25.777
Here you have the mounting option using, for example, a magnetic base.


00:04:25.797 --> 00:04:34.701
This is screwed into place where you want to position the camera, and you can then use this magnetic base to adjust the camera’s position.


00:04:34.741 --> 00:04:43.725
This camera also has a built-in alarm siren and an intercom function; this naturally applies to the video doorbell as well.


00:04:44.265 --> 00:04:47.666
Perhaps a quick word on the cameras’ resolutions.


00:04:47.726 --> 00:04:50.787
I’m sure you’ll have a few questions about that.


00:04:50.827 --> 00:04:57.330
All the cameras have resolutions ranging from 3 megapixels to 5 megapixels.


00:04:57.350 --> 00:05:03.111
Yes, so some have a resolution of 3 megapixels, some 5 megapixels.


00:05:03.130 --> 00:05:12.714
Some of the cameras actually have AI-based person detection, so they can recognise whether there is a person in front of the camera.


00:05:13.875 --> 00:05:19.202
And the electrically adjustable cameras also have a person-tracking feature.


00:05:19.222 --> 00:05:26.231
This means that if someone walks in front of the camera lens and is detected, the camera will automatically track that person,


00:05:26.251 --> 00:05:30.076
who is moving within the camera’s field of view.


00:05:30.777 --> 00:05:34.860
A few more notes on setting up the cameras in the Homematic IP app.


00:05:34.880 --> 00:05:39.424
They are set up in the app in the traditional way via the ‘Learn Device’ function.


00:05:39.444 --> 00:05:43.708
That means you click on ‘Learn Device’ and put the device into operation.


00:05:43.748 --> 00:05:51.914
However, these are not products using the wireless standard you’re already familiar with from other Homematic IP products,


00:05:51.934 --> 00:06:04.783
but rather classic WLAN/Wi-Fi products, which can nevertheless be set up via Homematic IP just as intuitively as any other Homematic IP device 


00:06:04.803 --> 00:06:05.503
.


00:06:05.563 --> 00:06:13.846
Once you’ve connected the cameras, you can of course immediately access the camera’s live feed, but also the recordings


00:06:13.886 --> 00:06:17.567
which have already been created by the cameras.


00:06:18.148 --> 00:06:21.829
These are recordings stored on our Homematic IP server.


00:06:21.849 --> 00:06:26.871
These are six-second events with a retention period of seven days.


00:06:27.531 --> 00:06:37.313
However, if you want more and say, ‘I’d rather record 24/7’, you also have the option of inserting an SD card into each of these cameras.


00:06:37.353 --> 00:06:40.874
The maximum storage capacity is 256 GB.


00:06:41.394 --> 00:06:48.476
Of course, you can then easily download these recordings back to your smartphone via the Homematic IP app.


00:06:48.496 --> 00:06:58.219
This means you have access to the recordings stored on the SD card and can save them directly to your smartphone using the download function.


00:06:58.259 --> 00:07:04.046
All cameras are, of course, also fully integrated into the Homematic IP App’s security solution.


00:07:04.065 --> 00:07:10.033
In addition, you can also use them as triggers for your own custom automation rules.


00:07:10.885 --> 00:07:20.352
As you can see, a wide new range of cameras – something for everyone, whether for indoor use, outdoor use, or even in places


00:07:20.372 --> 00:07:23.755
where a fixed power supply might not be available.


00:07:23.775 --> 00:07:28.098
Of course, it’s also possible to work there with a battery-powered camera.


00:07:28.118 --> 00:07:30.400
Which camera appeals to you the most?


00:07:30.420 --> 00:07:32.401
Which one would you buy?


00:07:32.441 --> 00:07:34.903
Do you have any questions about the products?


00:07:34.923 --> 00:07:37.145
Then feel free to post them in the comments.
