Abode Systems, a leader in DIY smart home security solutions, has announced the launch of its latest innovation, the Abode Edge Camera, at CES 2024. This new product is set to redefine home security with its advanced features and unparalleled performance.
The Abode Edge Camera is a pioneering device in the realm of home security, being the world’s first wireless home security camera equipped with AI-at-the-edge capabilities. Developed in collaboration with Morse Micro and Xailient, it boasts a remarkable transmission range of over 1.5 miles and superior battery life, making it a game-changer in the industry.
Redefining Security Camera Positioning
Chris Carney, Founder and CEO of Abode Systems, highlighted the limitations of traditional home security cameras, which often face away from the home, leading to fixed fields of view and connectivity issues. The Abode Edge Camera addresses these challenges by enabling optimal positioning at the edge of a property, focusing on what matters most – the home.
Unprecedented Range and Performance
The camera’s exceptional range is powered by Morse Micro’s Wi-Fi CERTIFIED HaLow system-on-chip (SoC) solution, which outperforms traditional Wi-Fi by operating on narrow frequency bands. This technology allows the camera to overcome transmission obstacles and deliver performance even in environments crowded with multiple devices.
Best-in-Class Battery Life
The Abode Edge Camera features a 6,000 mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, offering up to one year of battery life on a single charge. It also includes an integrated PIR motion sensor and AI detection, which triggers recording during meaningful activity and conserves battery life by entering a deep sleep mode when motion is not detected.
Advanced AI and Durability
This camera integrates advanced AI models and algorithms from Xailient for tasks like object detection, facial recognition, and anomaly detection. Its IP67-rated weather-tight housing makes it suitable for outdoor environments. The AI capabilities, combined with the Wi-Fi HaLow technology, enable real-time data processing for instant decision-making in security situations.
Integration and Video Plans
The Abode Edge Camera seamlessly integrates with existing Abode home security systems or can function as a standalone solution. Abode is also introducing a new single-camera video plan at $3.99 per month, offering AI-enabled Smart Detect and up to 10 days of timeline access. For multiple cameras, the Abode Standard Plan is available for $6.99/month, providing similar features across unlimited cameras.
Availability and Pricing
The Abode Edge Camera is expected to launch in Q1 2024 with a suggested retail price of $199.99.
