Abode Outdoor Smart Camera available to order, HomeKit coming soon

Earlier this year, we got our first hands-on look at the Abode Outdoor Smart Camera and were pleased with its design and functionality. It can be mounted in many locations with the included hardware, including hardwired as a video doorbell using your existing doorbell wiring. It can also be mounted on its own.

It is able to integrate into the excellent, and HomeKit-enabled, Abode Iota Security System which helps make your security system more reliable with the additional sensors.

Abode Smart Outdoor Camera has infrared night vision, a PIR motion sensor, two-way communication, a 152-degree field of view, and soon, facial recognition.

For HomeKit users, Abode has submitted the Smart Outdoor Camera for HomeKit certification and it will roll out in a future firmware update once complete.

Up for preorder now for $159, users can save $40 off the full retail price of $199 when it becomes available at the beginning of November.
