This WiFi camera is an AI camera featuring a floodlight that activates at night upon Human Shape Detection. Human Shape Detection uses AI technology for more accurate human motion detection compared to standard motion sensors, significantly reducing false alarms caused by pets or swinging branches of trees.

The camera includes a speaker for two-way communication. It can play alert voice messages such as "Alert area, please leave" or "Hello, welcome!" when human presence is detected or an alarm is triggered, provided this feature is enabled (it is off by default).
