The Eve PaintCam: A Bold Twist on Doorbell Camera Technology
In today’s world, doorbell cameras have become a staple in home security, thanks to their affordability and ease of use. However, what if your security system could do more than just record footage? Enter the Eve PaintCam, a device that takes a unique approach to home protection by using paintballs as its primary defense mechanism.
With the slogan “Safety Simplified,” Slovenian startup OZ-IT has introduced a quartet of innovative models. After successful Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns, they made waves at CES 2025, showcasing their creative twist on security to the tech community.
- Eve, Eve+, and EvePro: Primarily focused on human intruders.
- Simba: A camouflaged model designed to deter unwanted wildlife.
“Our system offers a novel way to protect your property from both human and animal intruders,”

Each model features advanced AI capabilities such as pet detection (Eve+, EvePro), facial recognition (EvePro), and animal recognition (Simba). The variety of projectiles includes standard paintballs, capsaicin-infused pellets for added deterrence, and UV paint projectiles for helping law enforcement track intruders.
This innovative approach raises intriguing questions about the future of home security: Could this be the new norm? While the idea is certainly bold, it remains to be seen how it will be embraced by consumers and legal systems worldwide.
