The baseus S2 is a new surveillance camera currently available directly from the manufacturer at a price of $ 200. Amazon, on the other hand, offers this model with a considerable reduction of 35 %, at a price of $ 130.
Designed to be used outside, S2 does not require any cable connection. Data transmission is only done by Wi-Fi on the 2.4 GHz band. Local storage is provided by a microSD card with a maximum capacity of 512 GB. The IP67 certified camera is delivered with a battery whose autonomy is announced at 150 days, but it is theoretically unlimited thanks to the solar panel that accompanies it and which automatically adjusts using sensors to capture as much light as possible.
The S2 supports 4K resolution, which should make it possible to display finer details such as license plates or faces. A double movement detection system is announced, which means that radar technology and a PIR sensor are embedded, the latter reacting to temperature differences. The latter reacts to temperature differences, which can be useful because people are generally warmer than their environment.
Other characteristics include AI recognition of faces, people, vehicles and animals, and it is possible to add up to 10 family members to a white list to avoid false alerts. The specified field of vision is 145 °, and colorful night vision is also possible thanks to an integrated LED. In addition, the integration and use of voice assistants are also supported, which allows audio communication with people in front of the camera.
