Sonoff CAM Outdoor Duo – Dual-lens outdoor security camera, Zigbee Hub, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, white (CAM-C44HE)

The SONOFF CAM Outdoor DUO CAM-C44HE is an outdoor security camera with two 4 MP camera units, combining a fixed-view camera with a motorised PTZ camera, a built-in Zigbee 3.0 gateway and IP65 weather protection. Both camera feeds can be used simultaneously: the fixed camera continuously monitors the selected area, while the PTZ camera can rotate 260° horizontally, tilt 90° vertically, and track moving people, vehicles, pets or other moving objects.

The camera uses local AI processing to distinguish motion, people, vehicles and pets. Infrared, white-light and smart night vision modes are available; in Smart Night Vision mode, the camera can switch to colour night video when motion is detected. The built-in microphone and speaker enable two-way audio communication, while alerts can use an audible alarm, white light and red-blue warning lights.

It supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi 6 as well as 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connectivity. Recordings can be stored on a microSD card with a capacity of up to 512 GB using continuous, scheduled or event-based recording. Through RTSP and ONVIF interfaces, the camera can also be integrated with NVR systems and Home Assistant. The built-in Zigbee gateway can be used to connect compatible SONOFF Zigbee sensors, valves, switches, smart plugs and other devices outdoors.

About SONOFF

SONOFF manufactures smart home devices, relay modules, energy meters, wall switches, Zigbee sensors, control panels, gateways and various electrical installation accessories. Its product range includes devices using Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Matter and LAN communication.

SONOFF devices are primarily based on the eWeLink platform, but many products can also be integrated with Home Assistant, Zigbee2MQTT, ZHA, SmartThings, Alexa, Google Home and other smart home systems.

Key product features

• Two 4 MP cameras: The fixed-view camera provides a continuous overview, while the 4 MP PTZ camera can track moving objects, helping to reduce blind spots.
• Outdoor Zigbee 3.0 gateway: The built-in Zigbee gateway can be used to connect compatible SONOFF water valves, smart plugs, sensors, alarms and other Zigbee devices. With router devices, a network of up to 128 sub-devices can be managed.
• Outdoor automations: Zigbee devices and the camera can be used together in automations. For example, a sensor event can turn the PTZ camera to a preset position and start recording.
• Local AI-based detection: Motion, person, vehicle and pet recognition are processed locally. Home, Away and Sleep security modes are available.
• Wi-Fi, Ethernet and local storage: Supports 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet and microSD storage up to 512 GB.

Smart home protocols and platform compatibility

• Wi-Fi: IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax dual-band connection on 2.4 and 5 GHz.
• Ethernet: 10/100 Mbps RJ45 wired network connection.
• Zigbee 3.0: Built-in outdoor Zigbee gateway with a manufacturer-specified range of up to 100 m in open areas and support for Turbo mode.
• Zigbee Hub mode: Can be used in the eWeLink system to manage compatible SONOFF/eWeLink Zigbee devices. General pairing of third-party Zigbee devices is not supported.
• Zigbee Router mode: Can operate as a Zigbee router for ZBBridge-P, ZBBridge-U, iHost, NSPanel Pro, as well as Home Assistant ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT networks. Switching from Hub mode to Router mode removes previously paired sub-devices.
• Home Assistant: Can be integrated using RTSP or ONVIF. RTSP provides HD/SD live video, while ONVIF provides SD live video, PTZ control, audio switching and motion, person, vehicle and pet detection events.
• RTSP and ONVIF: Can be used with local NVRs, video surveillance systems and other compatible platforms; the fixed and PTZ camera feeds are available separately.
• Amazon Alexa: Live video and two-way audio can be used on compatible Echo Show displays.
• Google Home: Live video and two-way audio can be used on compatible Nest Hub displays.
• IFTTT: Supported through eWeLink third-party integrations.

Smart features

• Dual live view: Both the fixed and PTZ camera feeds can be viewed in the eWeLink app.
• PTZ control: The movable camera can be controlled across a 260° horizontal and 90° vertical range.
• Preset positions: Up to 6 PTZ preset positions can be saved and activated from automations.
• Smart tracking: Automatic tracking can be configured for moving objects, people, pets or vehicles.
• AI detection: Local processing for motion, person, vehicle and pet recognition.
• Detection settings: Low, medium or high sensitivity can be selected, along with a scheduled active period.
• Security modes: Home, Away and Sleep profiles can be configured with different alert behaviour.
• Alerts: Audible alarm, flashing white light, red-blue warning lights and push notifications can be used.
• Night vision: Infrared, white-light, Smart Night Vision and off modes are available. Infrared illumination uses 850 nm LEDs.
• Smart Night Vision: Uses infrared imaging while idle and can switch to white light and colour video when motion is detected.
• Two-way audio: The built-in microphone and speaker can be used for real-time communication.
• Local recording: Continuous, scheduled or event-only recording can be selected.
• Loop recording: When the microSD card is full, the oldest recordings can be overwritten automatically.
• Snapshots and manual recording: Still images can be captured and video recording can be started manually from the app.
• Local automations: Local scenes running on the camera can continue to operate without an internet connection.
• Zigbee events: Events from a paired sensor or other supported Zigbee device can trigger a camera position, recording, alarm or lighting action.
• Device sharing: The camera can be shared with other eWeLink accounts.

Power supply and network connection

• Power supply: 12 V DC / 1 A.
• Power adapter: Uses a mains adapter with 100–240 V AC input and 12 V / 1 A output.
• Ethernet: 10/100 Mbps RJ45 connector.
• PoE: The Ethernet connector is used for data only; power is supplied separately through the 12 V adapter.
• Outdoor installation: The camera has an IP65 rating, but the included power adapter is not waterproof and must therefore be installed indoors or inside a weather-protected enclosure.
