Eve Cam

Eve Systems, originally known as Elgato Systems, is a prominent brand in the smart home industry, best known for its deep integration with Apple’s HomeKit ecosystem. The company was revitalized in 2018 when the gaming division of Elgato was sold to Corsair, leaving the smart home division to rebrand simply as Eve. The brand's philosophy centers on privacy and ease of use, ensuring that data stays within the local network rather than being stored in a proprietary cloud.

The Eve Cam is specifically designed for indoor security, leveraging features like HomeKit Secure Video to provide end-to-end encryption. While the brand carries a strong German engineering heritage, with research and design headquartered in Munich, the physical manufacturing of its hardware components, including the Eve Cam, is primarily carried out in China to scale production for global markets.

In 2023, the brand reached a new milestone when ABB, a global leader in electrification and automation, acquired Eve Systems. This acquisition was aimed at accelerating ABB's presence in the smart home market and supporting the expansion of Matter and Thread-enabled devices. Despite the change in ownership, Eve continues to operate with its distinct focus on high-quality, privacy-centric consumer electronics.
