But the Eve Cam itself isn’t new, either.
The camera was originally launched all the way back in 2020.
But five years later, it’s still being sold from the Eve website.

Is it worth buying in 2025, or are there alternatives that you should consider first?
Its priced at $149.95 and is only available in black.
Its built to be simple and basic.
Its teardrop-shaped design reminds us a bit of the original Nest Dropcam.
On the bottom of the main camera module, it’s possible for you to find a MicroUSB port.
That’s right, in 2025, the camera still comes with the incredibly dated MicroUSB.
The camera does offer some versatility in terms of placement, though.
The base of the camera is sturdy enough for you to simply place it on a shelf or table.
The camera does feel a little cheap though.
And it’s important to note that the camera is not built for outdoor use.
The camera has a 1080p resolution, with a 150-degree field-of-view.
It supports infrared-based night vision up to 5 meters (16.4 feet) away, and two-way audio.

1080p is still the maximum resolution supported by HomeKit Secure Video, even six years after its initial launch.
The lack of HDR meant that highlights wereseriouslyblown out.
The night vision offered by the Eve Cam was pretty good, but not incredible.

In that case, the Eve app will essentially work as a HomeKit control app.
The idea of HomeKit Secure Video is simple.
The 2TB plan ($10.99 per month) and above support an unlimited number of cameras.
HomeKit Secure Video cameras don’t get the same automation features as other HomeKit accessories.
Unfortunately, this camera is only built for HomeKit.
To pull up the live feed, simply tap on the thumbnail, and the feed will initiate.
Here you’ll be able to set automatic streaming and recording options based on your location.
Admittedly, we do look somewhat alike, but it still demonstrates that the feature isn’t perfect.
And, you might set up notification preferences for when people, pets, and packages are detected.
Eve Cam review: Verdict
There are plenty of things that make the Eve Cam feel dated.
