Eve Cam – Secure Indoor Camera

Protect what matters most.
Keep a close eye on your home around the clock. Receive rich notifications on your iPhone immediately when something is up in your home – and protect the privacy of your personal space in the process. You decide if you want to record every motion automatically or distinguish between people and pets – and choose different settings depending on whether you’re at home or not (People/Pet recognition). The data is analyzed securely in your home, not in the cloud.
So no matter where you are, you get direct and fully encrypted access to Eve Cam thanks to your home hub (Apple TV or HomePod). Live images never reach the cloud, not even iCloud. Recordings are stored securely and fully encrypted in your iCloud.
What happens at home stays at home.
When it’s your home, it’s all about your privacy. That’s why choosing the right indoor camera is so important. Eve Cam is designed exclusively for Apple HomeKit Secure Video, enabling you to securely store activity detected by Eve Cam in iCloud. It was built from the ground up to protect your privacy.

It’s only on when you want it to be.
No matter how you use Eve Cam, you decide when it should be on and how it should operate. Set Eve Cam to automatically deactivate when everyone is home, for example. And control when you want to receive notifications.
Apple TV, HomePod, or iPad running as a home hub intelligently determines when a person, animal, or vehicle is in the video.
The clearly visible status LED always tells you if the camera is on, off or recording.
Security has many dimensions.
No one home? Protect your home from intruders: As soon as Eve Cam detects motion, you’ll get a notification on your iPhone. That way you can take immediate action if there’s an unwanted visitor while at the same time record evidence.
Kids back home? What’s your four-legged friend up to when you’re out?
Kids back home? Check whether your kids have made it home safely. They’re probably fine, but a sneak peek at home is simply reassuring.
What’s your four-legged friend up to when you’re out? Is he taking a cat nap or destroying the new couch? If you’re not worried about your pet, simply turn off notifications for pet activity.
Windows closed and TV off?
Is everything ok at your vacation home? Often all it takes is a quick look inside just to be sure.

Wi-Fi
Make sure that either the 2.4 gigahertz band or the 5 gigahertz band is enabled on your router. The DHCP function must be activated on the router. Authentication via MAC addresses must be deactivated. All WiFi-based devices with HomeKit support require the Bonjour protocol (Multicast) to work. Make sure that Bonjour and Multicast are enabled on the WiFi router and additional access points. Network tools such as "Storm Control" and others, allow multicast to be restricted and therefore Bonjour. Disable this setting. So-called Powerline/PowerLAN adapters also restrict Bonjour or do not allow it. These access points are not suitable for the use of HomeKit-based WiFi devices.
HomeKit Secure Video requires a supported iCloud storage plan (not included)
HomeKit Secure Video requires iCloud+ (not included). iCloud+ with 50 GB storage supports one camera and iCloud+ with 2 TB storage supports an unlimited number of cameras. Camera recordings don’t count against your iCloud+ storage limit. Recordings are saved for ten days and then deleted automatically. If you want to hold on to a recording, you have the option to save it permanently.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2024Style: singleVerified PurchaseI have used about 5 different security cameras with HomeKit over the years and over the past few years this one has been the most reliable of all of them. It stays connected without having to be reset even with me playing with my network. The camera quality is acceptable. It does struggle a bit if there is a bright light in the frame. The motion recognition is good. Wish Eve had a better outdoor solution than their current unit.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2024Style: singleVerified PurchaseI know how to configure a network. I know how to troubleshoot tech problems. Despite trying literally everything I could I still get endless connection issues. Don’t even think about relying on this for security. You need something wired. Use this to look at your pets when you’re not home.
Edit: I have to lower the rating. All of my other eve products work perfectly besides this. Consider the frustration and anxiety of constantly resetting the camera because of connections issues before purchasing. This is way too expensive to be such a headache.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2024Style: singleVerified PurchaseI bought the Eve and Logitech Circle cameras at the same time and tested side by side. The Logitech may have had slightly better picture quality, but it has low FPS, lagged terribly, and the stream would randomly go pixelated. By comparison, the Eve camera has higher FPS, very little lag, and is much more stable. I recommend this camera for HSV.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2024Style: singleVerified PurchaseUpdated 01/05/25: I’m lowering my star fairing again. I’m really disappointed in these overall for how much I spent replacing my best cameras. Going to two stars total now. They are now going offline almost three times a week for no reason and again are missing recording events completely. I’ve now come to just use these for live streaming only since they are not good for anything else. Will be rethinking my choice when I can recoup some of my investment in these back.
I do not recommend.
Updated 12/01/2024: I’ve lowered my star rating one star (4 to 3) as I have had the camera in action for a whole month. The cameras tend to go offline once or twice a week for no obvious reason but do come back online. Most importantly they miss motion triggers a lot which means I’m missing recordings of something happening because the cameras tend just didn’t detect anything. This worries me as I might miss an important moment. At least with my Nest cameras I didn’t miss a thing since they were constantly recording. I’m pretty disappointed by this.
Original review:
I’m really excited to have cameras that support full native HomeKit and HomeKit secure video. No third party app required and no new login account. Best of all I already have iCloud+ so my cameras will store recordings to iCloud with no additional fees! Perfect!
Setup was a breeze as is most HomeKit devices. I took down my old Nest cameras, put up the magnetic mounting plate included, and got the camera up there and connected.
So let’s talk build quality compared to Nest. Given that these Eve cameras are still around $150 I expected them to be a little on par with my Nest cams. But I was wrong. They are very cheap feeling and the magnetic mounting plate is just a metal disk like one you would buy at Homedepot. Given the housing is plastic and not metal like Nest I do expect them to stay cooler and have better WiFi reception which is a plus.
You can almost move the camera angles as you would the Nest cameras. Albeit one specific method, repositioning the lense housing left or right (clockwise or counter clockwise). The eve can’t do this. Not a deal breaker but just good to know.
I found the cable it came with wasn’t long enough so I bought 10ft usb a to usb c cables. I’m super happy the cable is not permanently attached like on the Logitech circle view. Kudos for that Eve.
Field of view or FOV is really good. A big step up from my previous Nest cameras. I was very pleased to see this.
My biggest complaint and con is the night vision. My Nest cameras could light up almost a whole room and a half it seemed. Things were much brighter and it appears this is because the Eve only has four IR LED lights where the Nest had I believe 8. At $150 and in 2024 I expected the Eve cameras to have similar night vision efficacy but sadly it lacks big time here.
I think the camera would be better suited at $89 or maybe $100 max. I did invest in these so I will give them a solid go for a while before making any new changes. So far everything is amazing and oh I almost forget the motion sensor in the cameras appears in HomeKit as something to trigger off of which is a huge bonus. Just wish the night vision didn’t suck.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2025Style: singleVerified PurchaseIf the image quality was better, I would buy additional cameras including the outdoor versions. Love the whole interface and seamless integration with Homekit. No need for subscription and videos are stored on my iCloud and not some general server. The motion sensor shows up in Homekit and allows automation based on motion detection. I have camera setup I'm garage and automation based on camera motion detection to turn lights on for 5 minutes and then turn off. Very handy when coming home at night. Only complaint I have is that the image quality really is pretty poor (and that is comparing to Blink cameras I have which also are not stellar themselves...)

- Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2025Style: singleVerified PurchaseThis is just a brief story of my experience with Eve cameras. I went through six of these cameras to get 3 that would "work". One had a pink image all the time (stuck IR filter apparently). One just clicked every 30 seconds and I could not even set it up due to this problem. And the third one spent more time showing "no response" than video (and no - this was not a wifi issue - I moved it to different locations). The outdoor cam I bought is the only one that has worked well enough to keep around. Overall the HomeKit integration works fairly well but still has room to be improved. Eve obviously has some quality control issues - and at this price point that should not be the case. Will put them on CL and try to recoup some of my money. I switched to Arlo Ultra 2 cameras - rock solid cameras that just seem to work so far.

- AlReviewed in Canada on August 14, 2024
4.0 out of 5 stars Works pretty good with HomeKit
Style: singleVerified PurchaseCamera is easy to set up. Video is reasonably clear, but not super sharp. Sometimes HomeKit misses identifying the type of motion you have it set to watch for and it doesn’t record anything. Home app video review is not very user friendly at all; but that’s on Apple.
Big plus is that it can detect motion through windows since it uses image analysis. You can turn off the IR illumination LEDs if necessary. You can’t turn off the mic though. You can tell HomeKit not to record the audio, but the mic is always on and anyone in the home group can listen to the camera audio live. There should be a way to turn off the mic; I had to resort to covering it up with heavy layers of tape.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn’t work. It’s useless
Style: singleVerified PurchaseThe camera disconnects all the time, so it’s impossible to watch what it’s streaming as many other people has already mentioned in these reviews (using home kit or the camera’s own app). It’s useless.
