Together, the MERCUSYS MC210 and MC500 cameras work hand in hand to give you complete 360° coverage—no blind spots, just peace of mind. Whether you're watching over your living room, driveway, or backyard, their AI-powered intelligent detection knows precisely what to look out for. It can tell the difference between people, movement, and background activity, so you only get alerts that truly matter.

Through the MERCUSYS app, you can see what's happening at home in real time and even talk through the cameras using two-way audio—wherever you are. Parents can check in and chat with their kids after school, renters can easily speak to delivery riders at the gate, and pet owners can comfort their furry friends while away. Both cameras work seamlessly with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa for even greater convenience, so you can ask to see the live feed—hands-free and hassle-free.

With customizable block zones, you're in control of what your cameras see—perfect for keeping certain areas private while monitoring the spaces that matter most. The MERCUSYS MC500 takes privacy a step further with a built-in lens cover, so you can completely close the camera's lens whenever you need extra peace of mind—like when it's your neighbor's backyard. Plus, with flexible storage options of up to 512GB on microSD or secure cloud backup via MERCUSYS Camera Care, you can safely store your footage without worrying about expensive subscriptions.

Complete Indoor Visibility and Seamless Family Protection with the MERCUSYS MC210

The MERCUSYS MC210 Indoor Camera brings every moment at home into sharp focus with its crystal-clear 2K resolution, F2.0 4mm lens, and 30 FPS recording. Whether it's a quick peek at your baby sleeping soundly, checking if the kids are studying, or simply keeping an eye on things while you're away, MC210 easily captures every detail. Its smooth, detailed footage keeps up with life's movements, while infrared night vision up to 40 feet lets you see clearly even in the dark—no need to disturb anyone by turning on the lights.

More than just crystal-clear video, the MERCUSYS MC210 is smartly designed with families in mind. Its AI-powered baby cry detection instantly alerts parents when their little one wakes up or needs attention—offering comfort and peace of mind even when they're in their room or away from home. And with customizable block zones, you can choose precisely which areas to monitor, like leaving out bedrooms or workspaces, so you get the right balance of safety and privacy.

Outdoor Reliability Combined with Smarter Business Monitoring with MERCUSYS  MC500

The MERCUSYS MC500 Outdoor Camera keeps every corner outside your home or business clear with its sharp 1080p HD resolution and F2.0 4mm lens. It's perfect for watching over entryways, garages, or storefronts—capturing crisp details day or night. For business owners, it's a reliable way to keep track of visitors or staff entrances even during busy hours. And for young professionals living independently, it offers that extra sense of security—letting you see who's out before opening the door, and giving you peace of mind wherever you are.

No matter the time of day, the MERCUSYS MC500 ensures you never miss a thing. Its color night vision keeps footage bright and detailed, so business owners can easily recognize vehicles, deliveries, or after-hours activity even in dim lighting. And when the night gets darker, the camera automatically switches to infrared night vision, capturing clear black-and-white footage so your security never sleeps—day or night.

Built to withstand the elements, the MERCUSYS MC500 features an IP65 weatherproof design, providing reliable year-round performance in heavy rain, dust, or extreme heat. Business owners no longer need to worry about disrupted outdoor monitoring during storms, while homeowners enjoy consistent protection of garages, backyards, and other outdoor areas.

The MERCUSYS MC500 goes beyond sharp visuals with built-in light and siren alarms that detect intruders in real time, stopping potential threats before they even start and giving users proactive, reliable security.

Stay Confident and in Control with Smart, Affordable Security Made Simple

With the launch of the MERCUSYS MC210 Indoor Camera and MC500 Outdoor Camera, MERCUSYS sets a new standard for smart, effortless home security.
