In collaboration with SpotCam, about two weeks ago we called on our readers and community members to apply for our latest reader test. We were looking for three testers for a brand new surveillance camera from the manufacturer. We have now started selecting the participants.

A copy of the SpotCam Eva 2, which was officially presented only a few days ago, is made available to the testers. It is a WLAN camera with 2-way audio and night vision via eight infrared LEDs. Access is either via a corresponding app on the smartphone or tablet with the iOS or Android operating system or directly via a web browser such as Google’s Chrome browser or Microsoft Edge.

The indoor camera takes in 1000 p with 30 FPS and can monitor a field of view of 130 degrees, This can be increased horizontally thanks to a swivel function up to 345 degrees. The vertical slope range is 90 degrees . Communication takes place via 802. 11 – b / g / n standard in 2.4 GHz network. The data is recorded directly in the cloud; an additional memory card is not required.

In addition, the SpotCam Eva 2 can be operated in combination with Amazon’s Alexa, Google Home, IFTTT and Conrad Connect. The scope of delivery includes everything for wall mounting, but also a power supply unit and a power adapter. The SpotCam Eva 2 has dimensions of 90 x 75 x 75 mm and is very compact. The weight is around 238 g.
