Outdoor Cam

Formerly: Stick Up Cam

Outdoor Cam (Stick Up Cam) has been redesigned to give you all the features you need to stay safe, including motion-activated notifications, 1080p HD Video, and Two-Way Talk—all in a flexible design with multiple placement options.

The main difference between Stick Up Cam Battery, Stick Up Cam Plug-In, Stick Up Cam Solar and Stick Up Cam Elite is how they receive power.

Stick Up Cam Battery is powered by the Quick-Release Battery Pack. You can also purchase the Indoor/Outdoor Power Adapter (sold separately) to connect Stick Up Cam Battery to standard outlets for nonstop power. Or you can connect it to a Solar Panel (sold separately) to keep your camera charged with direct sunlight.

Stick Up Cam Plug-In is powered by an AC adapter that plugs into standard power outlets. You can also purchase a Quick-Release Battery Pack (sold separately) for backup power. With Stick Up Cam Plug-In, see it all with nonstop, 24/7 video recording and Continuous Live View. Add to your Protect Plan per eligible camera — for coverage exactly where you need it.

Stick Up Cam Solar comes with a Solar Panel as well as a Quick-Release Battery Pack. The Solar Panel requires direct sunlight to keep your device charged. But with the Quick-Release Battery Pack, your camera will have backup power in case you don’t have enough sunlight.

Stick Up Cam Elite uses Power over Ethernet for nonstop power and a reliable connection. It comes with a PoE Adapter that must be placed indoors and plugged into your router in order to power up and connect your Stick Up Cam to the internet.

Another difference between the Stick Up Cams is the mounting bracket. Stick Up Cam Battery, Stick Up Cam Plug-In and Stick Up Cam Solar can be placed on flat surfaces or mounted to a wall, but you will need to purchase a Mount for Stick Up Cam (sold separately) if you’d like to install them on your ceiling or eaves. Stick Up Cam Elite, however, comes with a mounting bracket that lets you place it on walls, ceilings and flat surfaces like a table or shelf without the need to purchase any additional accessories.

The main differences between Outdoor Cam (Stick Up Cam) and Spotlight Cam are device features, placement, and power options.

Spotlight Cam is an outdoor-only camera that comes with built-in LEDs and a security siren. As soon as motion is detected, Spotlight Cam starts streaming video and shines its lights to show you a clear picture in any setting. If you see something suspicious, you can also activate the siren in the app for added protection.

Outdoor Cam (Stick Up Cam) is built for outside, but ready for anywhere. Unlike Spotlight Cam, Outdoor Cam (Stick Up Cam) doesn’t have built-in lights. All Outdoor Cams (Stick Up Cams) and Spotlight Cams are available in battery and solar power options. However, Spotlight Cam is also available in plug-in, as well as a wired option so you can connect it to outdoor electrical boxes.

Outdoor Cam (Stick Up Cam) Battery, Plug-In, and Solar have options for dual power. This means that they have primary power sources with a backup power source to keep you connected.

Outdoor Cam (Stick Up Cam) Solar comes with 2 power sources. It uses the Quick-Release Battery Pack to keep your camera powered and the Solar Panel to keep the battery charged.

Outdoor Cam (Stick Up Cam) Plug-In comes with an AC adapter that plugs into standard power outlets, and you can also purchase a Quick-Release Battery Pack (sold separately) for dual power. With the battery pack inserted, Outdoor Cam (Stick Up Cam) Plug-In will be powered by the adapter and will use the battery as backup.

Outdoor Cam (Stick Up Cam) Battery comes with a Quick-Release Battery Pack, and you can also purchase the Indoor/Outdoor Power Adapter (sold separately) to plug it into standard power outlets. When plugged into an outlet, Outdoor Cam (Stick Up Cam) Battery will be powered by the adapter and will use the battery as backup.

Outdoor Cam (Stick Up Cam) lets you create privacy zones that black out areas of your home that you don’t want to monitor. You can also disable motion recording, alerts and audio right from the app to give you some peace and quiet. Plus, you can also schedule your motion alerts to turn on at the same time you typically leave the house and turn off at the time you typically return, (subscription required, sold separately).

The Mount for Outdoor Cam (Stick Up Cam) is sold separately and allows you to mount your camera upside-down on ceilings and eaves.
