Dutch company Robin Telecom today announced that its Robin ProLine ringtone is the first to accept HomeKit Secure Video, allowing the camera to securely capture and store iCloud records.

Using an Apple TV, HomePod or iPad configured as a home hub, the ProLine ringer can intelligently detect when the movement of a person, animal or vehicle is captured and can store an iCloud record. When activity is detected, users will instantly receive a push notification on their iPhone or iPad and can play videos directly from the lock screen or from the home application.

With end-to-end encryption, HomeKit Secure Video is billed as a more secure option than storing records on third-party manufacturers' servers. Recently, Zach Truskowski distributed a demonstration of the function of an Apple Store.

HomeKit Secure Video is only available to users who pay 200GB or more of iCloud storage, starting at $ 2.99 per month. Users with the 200 GB plan can store 10 days of recordings from an iCloud camera at no additional cost, while those with a 2TB plan can store 10 days of recordings of up to five cameras. HomeKit secure video recordings do not matter to a user's iCloud storage usage.

To update the doorbell firmware, upgrade the Robin ProLine application to version 1.6.0 or later and touch the settings icon on the ProLine accessory to open the Details page. Touch "Firmware Update" followed by "Start Firmware Update".

Priced at 599 EUR in Europe, Robin ProLine has a 720p video recording, 130-degree viewing angle, IP53-rated water and dust resistance and a brushed aluminum finish available in gray, silver or black.

Although several other HomeKit Secure Video video ringers have been announced, Robin ProLine is the first to accept the feature.
