Are you wondering if an outdoor home security camera on the wall outside, at the front door or at the rear entrance is really necessary? What is the best outdoor security camera? Your house is where you feel at home. We do everything we can to make that place feel like home.
Outdoor WiFi surveillance cameras do not require an Ethernet cable to connect to the internet and transmit images. It is a smart security camera that works with WiFi connection. The images will then be transmitted to the user who will be able to consult them on your smartphone.
You can also effectively increase the safe feeling you want when you’re at home by choosing an alarm security system including cameras. This will protect not only your property and your home, but also your family members. A good outdoor security camera is an effective way for deterrence and warding off uninvited guests and reducing the risk of break-ins.
The Somfy Outdoor Camera is designed to be a complete security camera for outdoors. In other words, a burglar only has to set foot on your garden path to be detected and recorded on video. You receive an alert on your smartphone and you can watch live, wherever you may be. If you feel uneasy about the situation, you can trigger the loud siren built into the surveillance camera directly from its dedicated app on your smartphone. Thanks to its built-in motion detector and siren, this camera will warn you any time anything suspicious takes place, so you can take immediate action. You can even use the camera’s built-in loudspeaker to let uninvited audiences know that you’ve spotted them.
If you are looking for a small home outdoor security camera and don’t wish to compromise on features, then the Somfy Outdoor Camera offers a complete security solution while measuring only 15 x 15 x 8.5 centimetres. Its sleek shape means the camera easily blends into its surroundings. The camera is available in both anthracite grey and white, so whether your façade is light or dark coloured, this small outdoor security camera provides a stylish solution that will protect your home discreetly but effectively.

The Somfy Outdoor Camera’s excellent picture quality means you can always see clearly what is happening around your home. The HD IP Camera for outdoors (1080p) has 8x digital zoom and night vision, so the camera images are always clear, even when it’s dark.
If an intrusion is detected you will receive a free 30s video evidence, downloadable for 7 days from the mobile app.
Although you want everything to be closely monitored, you don’t want your own actions to be recorded. The Somfy Outdoor Camera can be deactivated manually from the smartphone (privacy mode on).

Installing an outdoor wifi surveillance camera is usually relatively simple as there are no cables involved so no major work is required. There is also no complex software to install or computer skills to have. All you need to do is choose a good location (connect it to existing power cables/outdoor lighting or directly to a power outlet), download the free dedicated application, and make the appropriate settings.
The installation of the outdoor wifi camera can be done alone, but it is entirely possible to call in a professional to ensure that you get the most out of your security camera, especially if you combine it with an alarm system and motion detector.
