- Apple Home Yes
- Google Home Unconfirmed
- Amazon Alexa Unconfirmed
- SmartThings Unconfirmed
- Home Assistant Unconfirmed
The Eve Outdoor Cam is a hardwired floodlight camera built exclusively for Apple HomeKit Secure Video. Clips are analysed on an Apple TV or HomePod and stored encrypted in iCloud, so recording needs an iCloud+ plan, and live view goes through the home hub. Installation needs mains power with neutral and ground wires. Eve does not list Google Home, Alexa or SmartThings, which leaves them unconfirmed.

“Via Matter” means you add it with that platform's Matter controller instead of a brand skill or app. “Unconfirmed” means we couldn't find an official source either way. How we verify.
Specs that matter for setup

- Hardwired mains (neutral + ground)[2]
- Local recording
- Unconfirmed
- Radio: The manual says it connects only to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks.
- Hub: No Eve bridge. An Apple home hub (Apple TV or HomePod) is needed for HomeKit Secure Video and remote access.
- Local control: Eve says live video never touches a cloud and access runs through the home hub; fully local-only operation is not stated.
- Type: Floodlight camera with a dimmable light, designed to replace an existing outdoor light.
- Power: Eve's manual requires AC power with both a neutral and a ground wire; without them the camera can't be installed at that spot. Retailers give 100-240 V AC; not seen on an Eve page.
- Local recording: Recordings go to iCloud via HomeKit Secure Video; no maker page we saw mentions local storage.
- Paid plan needed for: An iCloud+ plan (not included) is needed for recording; Apple's plan size sets how many cameras are allowed.
