Bosch Smart Home Eyes Outdoor Camera II

Many people’s need for security has increased in recent years because many things have turned out to be more fragile than assumed. This can also lead to the desire to protect at least one’s own small living area as well as possible – for example with surveillance cameras at the front door. However, the subjectively increased feeling of security of the homeowner is often countered by the unease of visitors when they see the camera. The Bosch Smart Home Eyes Outdoor Camera II is a security camera that is characterised by extremely discreet property surveillance and combines the camera function with atmospheric outdoor lighting. “The product’s direction was clear from the start: It was to deviate from the norm of rather deterrent security cameras and, instead of giving the impression of surveillance, offer more of a convincing light installation and also meet requirements in comfort and convenience,” the designers of the camera explained their intention. In the eyes of the jury, they succeeded: “This security camera harmoniously combines two functions in one product, which is characterised by reduced design, flowing forms and high manufacturing quality. Luminaire and camera are visually in a ratio of about three to one, which, in combination with the emitted warm light glow, makes the idea of security the focus of perception rather than the surveillance aspect.” The clear and precise design integrates the technical components coherently and communicates the accuracy and reliability of the implemented radar sensor technology. Although the visible camera lens openly communicates that this is not a conventional luminaire but smart security technology, at the same time it recedes into the background because the luminaire draws attention to itself. The dimmable front lamp also serves as ambient illumination for outdoor areas. With regard to a pleasant user experience, the intelligent motion light starts with a soft light before fully lighting up. The camera, in turn, works with precise 3D motion detection. In case of relevant events, it immediately notifies the owner via push message and allows direct access to Full HD live video and the intercom function.
