On Wednesday, Switch Bot released its latest outdoor security camera. The smart home company bumped the resolution to 3K and now offers AI video descriptions, a feature that most security companies have added in the past year.

Switch Bot's new outdoor pan/tilt camera, starting at $80, includes motion tracking and object recognition and offers you the choice between wired and wireless connections. It can also hold up to 512GB of local video clips or offer cloud storage as an option in its subscription plans.

The real standout is the AI recognition technology, which allows the camera to describe the events it captures. "A man in a UPS uniform walks on a porch with a package," for example. The camera can also provide daily summaries of everything it's seen, saving you even more time.
