FAQ
Does the Orb Outdoor 2 support pan and tilt?
Yes. It offers 345° pan and 0–90° tilt control, allowing full-area coverage and smart auto tracking.
Can it store video locally without a subscription?
Yes. You can store footage on a microSD card (up to 256GB) or on an NVR — no subscription required.
Does it include a spotlight and siren?
The camera includes bright white light illumination, red/blue flashing lights, and a built-in siren or audio alerts to deter intruders.
What’s the difference between IR night vision and light illumination night vision?
IR provides black-and-white visibility in darkness. White light illumination night vision uses built-in LEDs to capture clearer color details at night.
Can outdoor Wi-Fi cameras work in rain or snow?
Yes, as long as they have proper weatherproofing. The Orb Outdoor 2 is IP66-rated, meaning it is protected against heavy rain and dust.
Do I need a subscription for cloud storage?
No cloud storage is required; you may choose between microSD storage, NVR recording, or IC Home Cloud retention up to 365 days.
What makes Orb Outdoor 2 different from standard Wi-Fi outdoor cameras?
Orb Outdoor 2 delivers 5MP resolution, smarter human and vehicle detection, and improved night vision — performance typically found in higher-end systems, not consumer Wi-Fi cameras.
Does Orb Outdoor 2 require the IC Home app?
No. It is part of the IC Home Series but now operates inside the IC View+ app with all other IC Realtime devices.
Does it work with NVRs?
Orb Outdoor 2 integrates natively with the IC View+ ecosystem and can be viewed alongside recorder channels, but it is not designed to replace PoE NVR-tied cameras.
Can I speak through the camera?
Yes — two-way audio allows real-time communication with visitors or anyone on-site.
Can it be used alongside Guardi 2 or Dinger Pro 2?
Absolutely — all three cameras work together within the IC View+ ecosystem for a unified property-wide Wi-Fi security solution.
