FULL STORY
======================================================================The 
IMOU Doorbell 2S has a panning camera to track visitors Its 180-degree field 
of view covers the whole front of your home It has AI person-detection and 
can alert you to individuals loitering outside 

IMOU, a company that makes some of the best home security cameras we've 
tested here at TechRadar, has launched a new video doorbell with a rotating 
camera to track and follow visitors as they move across your property. 

The IMOU Doorbell 2S can be used wired or wirelessly, and comes bundled with 
an indoor chime that you can plug in anywhere in your home. The chime (known 
as the DS2S Gong) also holds an SD card for local video storage, and 
functions as a Wi-Fi extender. 

The IMOU Doorbell 2S has a 2K resolution, which isn't the highest around 
(many of the best video doorbells can now record in 4K), but its panning lens 
provides an extra wide field of view for monitoring the whole front of your 
house without blind spots. 

The panning tech also eliminates the need for an angled bracket, which is 
necessary for mounting some other doorbells on awkward doorframes. (Image

The new doorbell uses passive infrared (PIR) and smart human detection to 
help reduce false alarms, sending you real-time alerts when a person is at 
the door while ignoring animals and vehicles. It also has 'loitering 
detection' to warn you if someone is hanging around by your home to a long 
time. 

If you want to confront those suspicious individuals, the IMOU Doorbell 2DS 
even offers a voice changer so you can address them while protecting your 
identity. 

It's currently available in the UK from Currys for 79.99 (about $110 / 
AU$170). I've contacted IMOU to ask about availability in the US and 
Australia, and will update this article when I have more details. 

The IMOU Doorbell 2S can be used subscription-free, but if you want cloud 
storage as a backup, you can register for IMOU Protect for 3.49 (about $5 / 
AU$7) per month, or 34.99 (about $50 / AU$70) per year. You might also like
