Key Features

• Refurbished and certified: Inspected and restored to look and work like new and backed by the same limited warranty as a new device, offering lower cost without sacrificing reliability.
• 1080p HD video: Live View streams clear daytime footage and improves detail for identifying people and objects around the home.
• Color night vision: Night-time footage captures more visible detail than standard infrared-only cameras, making low-light scenes easier to interpret.

Those who need fully weatherproof outdoor surveillance, battery-powered placement, or integrated local storage should look elsewhere; this model is a plug-in indoor camera designed for power outlets and indoor coverage only.
