Samsung is releasing a new outdoor surveillance cam

Samsung is likely releasing a new outdoor camera soon, judging from a Best Buy page that lists the device. The retail store says a “SmartCam Indoor/Outdoor 1080p Wi-Fi Network Surveillance Camera” is “coming soon.” It’ll cost $199.99. We’ve reached out to Samsung for confirmation on when it might be released and will update when we hear back. 

This new camera’s features, at least from what I can tell, are the same as the company’s more expensive, already released outdoor cam. (That camera costs $259.99, so it’s significantly more expensive.) Both versions support night vision and motion detection. They also record Full HD-quality video and connect over Wi-Fi. The key difference between the two appears to be design. The original camera looks like a classic surveillance device with a left to right swivel head. The new camera looks more like a Nest Cam, particularly with its adjustable base.

  I’m sure Samsung will make a more official announcement around this device soon, although the Best Buy page really gives everything away. Still, here are some more images to get you through until the release.
