Baseus U2 Pro Camera Uses Moving Spotlight to Track Intruders
Baseus has announced the U2 Pro, an outdoor security camera that pairs a fixed 3K lens with a 360-degree pan-tilt-zoom camera. A motorized spotlight follows people and vehicles in real time, while dual PIR sensors and AI recognition help distinguish people, vehicles, and pets. The camera runs on a 7,800mAh battery with a built-in solar panel and stores footage locally on a memory card.
The U2 Pro pairs a stationary 3K camera for continuous coverage of chosen areas with a pan-tilt-zoom unit that rotates 360 degrees to follow movement. Dual passive infrared sensors and recognition software sort people, vehicles, and pets, aiming to reduce alerts caused by irrelevant motion.
A motorized beam can illuminate tracked people or vehicles, and Baseus notes tracking performance varies with target speed and distance. The unit includes a 7,800mAh battery, a 3W solar panel, local recording via cards up to 512GB, IP65 weather resistance, two-way audio, voice-assistant support, and app controls; it is listed at $280 on Amazon USA.
The U2 Pro may appeal to homeowners seeking fewer subscription fees and more active nighttime deterrence, since local storage and solar charging could lower long-term costs. Its moving spotlight and AI filtering could also make security alerts more actionable, though neighbors and passersby may notice the camera’s tracking behavior. As such devices become more autonomous, their perceived benefits will likely depend on reliable detection, clear user controls, and community comfort with visible surveillance.
