In my case, I did not get the device to work.... refuses the integration via Homekit and another variant gibts yes not. :(

The camera delivers what it promises and offers a very good price / performance ratio.
The setup is very easy with the Eve app, the camera can be operated both via the Eve app and via the Apple Home app (I find the Apple Home app better).
The picture is very satisfactory in daylight, in night mode the picture is ok.
It's a bit of a shame that when the camera is looking over a rather large area, smaller animals (e.g. dogs) that are moving aren't detected correctly and thus the recording doesn't start. However, this is not a problem of the camera, but of the detection algorithm of Apple Home.
Worth it, I'll probably buy 1-2 more of these cameras to cover different angles.

With Apple Homekit everything is installed in no time, it all works wonderfully, I have access from anywhere to the cameras, a HomePod serves as the control center.
After a few days I have to say I am disappointed with the camera, the picture quality is poor, really poor. If the apartment is not brightly lit, only black / white image, very strong noise and artifacts.
Both cameras go back to Galaxus, these cameras are absolutely not worth the money!

This is a very good camera for home security, but you should know in advance that this camera is fully functional and will transmit or record images to your phone when you are not at home. You will also need to buy an Apple TV or an Apple HomePod. These devices act as the main home centre device and only if one of them is available can you remotely watch what is happening in your home and record when you are not at home and upload videos to the cloud.

I really like this camera. I also have an Ecobee, but find the Eve much easier to setup with their app and seamlessly connect to the Apple Home app. The camera is small and the magnetic mount (which I didn't even realize was included) is amazingly good and makes it very convenient to put the camera just where I want it. I also like the fact that this is a European (German) company.
