A new Kickstarter campaign titled ‘EverCam’ launched by Anker-owned company Eufy, promises a truly wireless 1080p smart security camera, with up to 365 days of battery life. Other features include AI capabilities with facial recognition, as well as a built-in infrared sensor which enables the camera to activate recording and send notifications upon heat detection.
The water resistant HD camera can be installed on any metal surface via built-in magnets, or with a single-screw mount on any other surface, without requiring a direct power source, and can run for up to 1 year on a single charge, thanks to Anker’s built-in 13,400mAh lithium-ion battery.
The EverCam features a Sony Exmor IMX 323 sensor with large f2.2 aperture, and has a 140-degree wide-angle lens for a panoramic view. It has a 16GB microSD card that is protected by AES 128-bit encryption. The card can hold roughly around 1 year of video footage at normal usage. The optional cloud storage subscription for saving and viewing video clips in real time costs $2.99 per month.
The product has already raised $735,000 in funding with over 2200 backers and 58 days still to go, which is way more than its initial goal of $50,000. To back the project, head over to EverCam’s Kickstarter page.

Just wondering what stops people from just grabbing the thing off its magnet, and walking away with it.
“Height”. To use magnet as the primary attachment method, the installer/owner has to be smart enough to install it at a higher where it is not easy for someone to grab it and go, and when it’s installed at a reasonable height, it doesn’t appear there’s a way to tell the mode of installation of this camera for anyone to guess.
Before you Kickstart this, something sounds fishy here… I can’t see the magnets working to install to ANY metal surface. Aluminum for one would be an issue…
