Short description

Shelly Camera is a compact Wi-Fi camera that delivers clear 1080p Full HD video and black-and-white night vision, helping you keep an eye on your home day and night. It combines reliable local control with cloud-based AI object recognition for smarter, more useful monitoring.

With motion detection, up to 10 customizable motion zones, and instant notifications, Shelly Camera lets you know when movement is detected so you can respond quickly. Privacy (blackout) zones keep selected areas out of view, while Privacy Mode disables video recording, the microphone, and the speaker whenever you want complete privacy. The built-in microphone and speaker also let you listen and talk through the camera.

Shelly Camera connects through dual-band Wi-Fi and supports Bluetooth for easy setup. It works with Shelly Cloud, Home Assistant, Frigate NVR, and other popular smart-home platforms, while its built-in web interface provides direct local control. Advanced users can also create custom automations using scripting, MQTT, and WebSocket.
