Shelly’s new $50 security camera watches your home without a subscription
Shelly has released a $50 security camera that functions without a mandatory subscription, offering local storage and smart home integration. While it lacks battery power and high-end resolution, it provides a budget-friendly alternative to subscription-heavy competitors.
Why it matters
The smart home market is increasingly shifting toward subscription-based models, making hardware that offers local control and no-fee operation a significant consumer choice.
After launching a budget-friendly flood sensor last month with impressive battery life, Shelly announced a new $49.99 security camera today that can be used without any additional subscription fees – although that’s still an option if you want to expand its capabilities.
