It requires a USB-C cable for power as it does not include a battery. Users can live stream video over Wi-Fi to their devices or record events locally to a microSD card.

Without a subscription, the camera supports live streaming, local storage, and can trigger smart home automations when integrated with other Shelly devices. An optional subscription plan is available, which unlocks cloud recording and advanced smart object detection, allowing the camera to differentiate between people, pets, and vehicles for customized alerts and automation scenarios.
Market Positioning
While competitors offer 2K cameras at similar price points, Shelly's camera focuses on providing essential security features at 1080p without a required ongoing cost. The camera will be available in black or white through Shelly's online store and other resellers.
