The CamnSmart PTZ Wi-Fi Camera is a smart surveillance device designed for easy integration into a home or office environment. It features a PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) mechanism, allowing for flexible monitoring of an area. The camera is designed to be powered via an E27 power connector, resembling a standard light bulb, which simplifies installation as it can be screwed into existing light sockets.
Function Description:
The primary function of the CamnSmart PTZ Wi-Fi Camera is to provide video surveillance. It connects to a Wi-Fi network, enabling remote access and control via a dedicated mobile application, "Tuya Smart." The camera supports real-time video streaming, allowing users to view live footage from their smartphone or tablet. With its PTZ capabilities, users can remotely adjust the camera's viewing angle to cover a wider area. The camera also supports video recording, either continuously or based on motion detection, with footage stored on a microSD card. Two-way audio communication is possible through the built-in microphone and speaker.
