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.

    Does the expected Homekit compatibility include the HK secure video recording?

    I'm not and I thought it was Adobe!
    That aside, I won't buy anything that says "HomeKit coming soon".  Call me when it IS HomeKit compatible!

    Thanks to Ring and Orbit I will never again get fooled into buying something that says Homekit is coming soon, unless I’m perfectly happy with it not having Homekit compatibility.

    I saw Adobe as well.

    I really want to install a few cameras on the outside of our house. But will only do it if they are HomeKit compatible.
