Introduction
An Indoor/Outdoor Security Camera System generally includes one Kasa Smart Camera Hub and one or more Kasa Smart Wire-Free Cameras.
The Kasa Smart Wire-Free Camera monitors anywhere and everywhere. Monitor live video and recordings directly on the Kasa Smart app from the
convenience of your smartphone. The Kasa Smart Camera Hub adds a layer of security with a siren, alert and audio recordings to mimic occupancy.
Your home is always protected.
• Night Vision
At night, the camera will detect activity up to 25 ft. away with night vision.
• Wired or Wire-free
A camera that gives you freedom to take it anywhere you want. When connected to our adapter, the
Kasa Smart camera allows for a pre-roll which begins recording a few seconds before every clip.
• Crystal Clear 1080p Video
Sharp and clear 1080p video makes sure you never miss a thing. In the dark, the camera will detect
activity up to 25 feet away with Night Vision.
• Rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery*
With a low-power Wi-Fi protocol, we’ve extended the battery life for a longer and smarter experience.
*Optional: Adapter for wired use if needed.
• Built-in Siren and 2-way Talk
Use crisp 2-way audio to communicate with the delivery person at your front door or use the
camera’s siren to scare away intruders.
• More Than A Hub
The hub helps save power and also plays as a secondary security alarm. Any intruder will be met with
an unwelcome sound.
• Weatherproof
The Kasa Smart Wire-Free Camera is weatherproof and will be protected against rain and dust.
