TOKYO, July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SwitchBot, a leading provider of AI-enabled embodied home robotics systems, today announced the availability of the SwitchBot Outdoor Pan/Tilt Cam 3K, an outdoor security camera designed to deliver wider coverage, clearer detail, and smarter AI-powered insights for home monitoring. Designed to improve the household monitoring of yards, driveways, entrances, shops, and outdoor spaces with greater confidence, SwitchBot Outdoor Pan/Tilt Cam 3K combines 360° pan-and-tilt coverage, 5MP image clarity, full-color night vision, flexible installation, and AI-powered event understanding in one outdoor-ready device. AI Insight Powered by Vision-Language-Model* Powered by VLM, SwitchBot Outdoor Pan/Tilt Cam 3K goes beyond traditional motion alerts by providing proactive event understanding with AI insights, rather than just displaying that something moved. The first function of AI Insight is AI Event Alert; the camera can summarize situations in natural language, such as a delivery arriving, a person returning home, an animal entering the yard, or a suspicious person approaching. Secondly, users can also search video footage with natural language, making it easier to find important moments such as a car being scratched on the street or a pet playing in the yard during the day, without manually reviewing hours of recordings. Moreover, AI recognition helps identify people, vehicles, animals, and objects, reducing unnecessary alerts caused by insects or irrelevant motion while keeping users focused on events that matter. More specifically, advanced VLM features can identify animal types such as bears, deer, and coyotes, helping outdoor users understand what entered the monitored area. Last but not least, compared with traditional cameras that only monitor, SwitchBot Outdoor Pan/Tilt Cam 3K can work with SwitchBot devices for active security automation, such as turning on lights when someone enters the yard while the user is away. *Some AI understanding features require AI Guard subscription.
