(New York) November 15, 2023 – Aqara, a leading provider of smart home products, is delighted\u00a0to announce the widespread availability of its latest Camera E1. This camera\u00a0is\u00a0ideal\u00a0for the\u00a0budget-conscious consumer desiring the premium features of Aqara\u2019s cameras – such as seamless third-party platform compatibility and versatile storage options\u00a0– without the need for an additional Aqara hub. Embracing\u00a0Wi-Fi 6\u00a0technology,\u00a0the Camera E1 delivers superior connectivity and video quality. It\u00a0is now available on the Aqara Amazon brand stores across\u00a0North America (US<\/u><\/a>, Canada<\/u><\/a>) and Europe (France<\/u><\/a>, Germany<\/u><\/a>, Italy<\/u><\/a>, Poland<\/u><\/a>, Spain<\/u><\/a>, UK<\/u><\/a>), as well as via\u00a0select Aqara retailers<\/u><\/a>\u00a0worldwide1<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outfitted with a crisp 2K sensor, a wide-angle f\/2.0 lens, Pan\/Tilt functionality, and invisible infrared night vision, the Aqara Camera E1 provides users with a comprehensive view of their home environment – both day and night. Using the Aqara Home app, users can direct the E1 camera to automatically pivot\u00a0to a preset angle – for example the front door – when a\u00a0corresponding sensor is triggered, enhancing security vigilance. The built-in NPU of the camera empowers advanced features like person and sound detection2<\/sup>, allowing for focused monitoring of\u00a0critical occurrences. Motion events can be filtered,\u00a0and users will be alerted when a person or a designated sound (e.g., barking, crying) is detected. Both person and sound detection\u00a0operate locally on the device\u00a0for heightened privacy,\u00a0independent of cloud services and Internet connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Camera E1 utilizes the latest Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technology, guaranteeing\u00a0high-speed\u00a0data\u00a0transfer\u00a0and stellar\u00a0performance even in a congested network\u00a0environment. This ensures a smoother live view with reduced latency. Security is also paramount, with WPA3 supported to safeguard user data. Furthermore, the camera adds Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity to facilitate an effortless pairing process. Aqara Home\u2019s new MagicPair feature\u00a0prompts users to bind the new devices when they open the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed for universal adaptability, the Camera E1 is compatible with major smart home platforms\u00a0such as Apple HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home.\u00a0Similar to other Aqara camera\u00a0models, the E1 camera supports Apple\u2019s end-to-end encrypted HomeKit Secure Video. Storage flexibility is key, and this camera supports encrypted cloud storage through Aqara or iCloud platform, or local storage on a microSD card (up to 512 GB),\u00a0which can also be backed up to NAS storage3<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an indoor camera, the E1 prioritizes user privacy. Its privacy mode deactivates the camera and angles the lens away from the activity zone, and the option to disable audio recording is also available for added peace of mind. These\u00a0privacy settings\u00a0can be manually activated\u00a0on the Aqara Home app or via various automations with other Aqara devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
