  "account": "Baseus has unveiled a new AI-powered security camera, the U2 Pro, designed to not only capture intruders on video but also deter them using a motorized spotlight that tracks and follows moving targets. The Baseus Security PrimeSentinel U2 Pro Outdoor 3K Dual Camera boasts a 3K fixed camera and a 3K camera with zoom, tilt, and 360-degree pan capabilities for comprehensive property monitoring.\n\nFull-color night vision allows for clear identification of people, animals, and even vehicle colors. AI-powered analysis delivers alerts with concise summaries and designations of observed subjects, distinguishing between individuals, pets, vehicles, and activities like package deliveries. False alerts caused by non-threatening movements, such as wind-blown branches, are ignored to reduce notifications.\n\nFootage is captured only when motion is detected and stored locally on a 512GB encrypted memory card, with remote access possible via the Baseus mobile app. Live views can also be monitored through Amazon Alexa or Google Home smart devices. Installation takes just two minutes using mounts that attach to walls or ceilings.\n\nThe U2 Pro connects wirelessly to a home network and is powered by a rechargeable battery capable of lasting up to 150 days, though this may decrease with increased property activity. A 3W solar panel can be added for charging, with just 40 minutes of sunlight providing a full day's power. The cameras are available on Amazon in the United States for $269.99, with European availability beginning on October 15th at €269.99.",
