Apple's HomeKit is used by many to control their smart appliances, including security cameras. HomeKit Secure Video (HKSV) cameras can still be managed with the Home application.
Settings for HKSV notifications include options to control activity notifications based on time, people, and when any movement is detected and a clip is recorded.

However, the iOS 15 update seems to have added a new option in the activity-based notifications section of the HKSV notification settings.
A Reddit user shared a screenshot of the settings page for HKSV notifications in iOS 15, where a new option called "Specific move" is available.
Selecting this option further allows three options in which users can receive notifications when people, animals and vehicles are detected.

This makes it easier for HomeKit users to customize HomeKit Secure Video notifications based on their convenience.
Because the next iOS update is still in the testing phase, regular users will have to wait for the stable version of iOS 15 to get the new HKSV notifications option.
However, it's still good to see that Apple is constantly improving the user experience with such changes.
IOS 15 Notification Summary feature
While some users may not be happy with the upcoming iOS update, adding such small or large features does make it a major update.
To remind us, the iOS 15 update also includes the Critical Alerts option for HomeKit notifications.
There are also some improvements to the Spotlight feature in the next iOS version.
That being said, we will continue to follow the development of iOS 15 and report back when we get new information to share.
