Summary
$49.99 is Shelly’s entry price for its first security camera, which can livestream over Wi-Fi or record events locally without any mandatory monthly plan.
1080P video, 110-degree horizontal and 70-degree vertical viewing angles, and night vision define the hardware, but the camera needs wired USB-C power rather than a battery.
Local use supports microSD storage and Shelly smart-home automations, including motion-triggered actions such as switching on a floodlight.
A paid tier adds cloud recording and object detection that can separate people, pets and vehicles for more tailored alerts and automations.
The camera is due soon through Shelly’s online store and resellers in black or white, entering a budget market where some rivals already offer $40 2K models.
