Shelly Group has introduced the Shelly Camera, an indoor security camera featuring smart automation for residential and light commercial sites.
Shelly Group has expanded its smart automation and monitoring range with the launch of the Shelly Camera. The new indoor unit combines standard video surveillance with intelligent home and building automation features, targeting residential, office, and small commercial applications.
Designed to operate directly within the established Shelly ecosystem, the compact camera allows users to link video events to automated actions across other connected devices on the network. This enables local automation triggers without relying entirely on external hub controllers or third-party cloud integrations.
For electricians and smart home installers, the introduction of native hardware expands options for client retrofits and small commercial jobs. Rather than specifying separate CCTV and relay systems, installers can set up event-driven routines—such as triggering lighting or secondary alerts when motion is detected—within a single product family. The focus on flexible data management also caters to end users seeking tailored local control alongside standard remote monitoring.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for? For sparkies and security installers, this launch offers a straightforward upsell option when quoting residential or light commercial rewires and smart upgrades. Because Shelly hardware is widely stocked by specialist electrical distributors and online trade outlets, adding video surveillance into an existing Shelly control setup avoids the hassle of mixing incompatible apps. While pricing should align with Shelly's typically competitive position in the relay market, buyers must double-check whether the job requires dedicated, high-grade CCTV or simple automated monitoring, ensuring the unit meets the specific security grade needed before installation.
