Baseus has announced the Security PrimeSentinel U2 Pro, an outdoor security camera with two 3K cameras and a motorized spotlight designed to follow moving targets. The camera is listed in the US for $269.99, with European availability set for October 15 at €269.99; battery life and detection performance will depend on use and conditions.
Baseus has announced the Security PrimeSentinel U2 Pro, an outdoor security camera with a motorized spotlight that follows moving targets across a property. The company’s new model combines two 3K cameras, motion-based recording and local storage, and is listed on Amazon in the US for $269.99; European availability is scheduled for October 15 at €269.99.
The U2 Pro pairs a fixed 3K camera, intended to keep a chosen area in view, with a second 3K camera that can pan, tilt and zoom. Baseus says the movable camera can cover a 360-degree area. Its spotlight is designed to turn toward a moving target rather than remain pointed in one direction. The light may also help illuminate a subject for color video at night, according to the product description.
Baseus describes the camera’s alerts as using AI-powered analysis to summarize detected activity and distinguish categories such as people, pets, vehicles and delivered packages. The company says the system can filter out some irrelevant motion, including swaying branches and routine activity. Those are manufacturer descriptions; independent testing results were not provided in the source report.
Recording is described as motion-triggered, with footage stored on an included 512GB encrypted memory card rather than continuously captured. Users can access recordings through Baseus’s mobile app, while live camera views can be displayed on Amazon Alexa or Google Home devices. Baseus also says the camera has a rechargeable battery rated for up to 150 days, plus an included 3W solar panel; actual runtime will vary with activity and sunlight.
A Light That Follows Intruders
The spotlight adds an active lighting response to a camera that otherwise would mainly record activity and send an alert. By directing light toward a moving subject, the U2 Pro is intended to make detection more apparent and improve visibility in dark conditions. It could also provide light for ordinary nighttime use around a home, such as taking a dog outside, as the product report notes.
The combination of a fixed view and a movable camera also addresses a common outdoor monitoring trade-off: keeping one area under constant watch while scanning other parts of a property. The claimed local storage and battery-and-solar setup may appeal to buyers seeking a system that does not rely on continuous cloud recording or a nearby power outlet. The practical value of those features, including the quality of identification and how well the motion filtering works, remains subject to real-world performance.

Two Cameras, Local Recording
The U2 Pro is part of Baseus’s lineup of AI-assisted security cameras. The model’s design combines a fixed camera for a designated area with a pan-and-tilt camera for broader coverage. Its spotlight is the distinguishing feature described in the announcement: rather than simply lighting a fixed field, it is intended to track a moving target.
Baseus says installation uses wall or ceiling mounts and takes about two minutes, and that the camera connects wirelessly to a home network. The company also says 40 minutes of sun exposure can provide enough solar power for a day of use. These figures are manufacturer claims, and the source report does not provide independent measurements or test conditions.
“The rechargeable battery is rated for “up to 150 days of use.””
— Baseus, as reported by The Verge
Performance Still Needs Testing
The announcement and product details do not establish how accurately the spotlight follows fast or partially obscured subjects, how reliably the system distinguishes people from animals or vehicles, or how often it may produce unwanted alerts. Independent test results were not included in the source report.
Actual battery life is also unclear for a particular household: Baseus’s estimate is “up to” 150 days, and the report says use may reduce that figure. The effect of weather, seasonal sunlight and installation placement on solar charging is not specified. The source does not provide further details on data handling beyond the stated encrypted local card storage and app access, or confirm whether any additional subscription is required.
Availability and Real-World Results
The next concrete milestone is European availability on October 15, at the stated price of €269.99. In the US, the camera is listed through Amazon for $269.99. Buyers and reviewers will be able to assess whether the target-following light, motion classifications and solar-assisted battery life perform as described in different settings.
Further details about regional availability, subscription requirements and tested runtime were not included in the report. Until those are clarified or independently evaluated, the quoted battery and solar figures should be treated as manufacturer estimates, not guaranteed operating results.
