HomeKit SecureVideo first look

The HomeKit Secure Video feature gets a substantial update in iOS 14, thanks to a new face classification feature for identifying people and family members in camera images.

9to5Mac has the story:

Apple is expanding the features of the HomeKit camera in iOS 14 with a new face classification feature that will include a person identification feature. HomeKit Secure Video will be updated to not only detect people in general, but also provide notifications about detecting certain people in your family.

Alerts based on specific people in your family intrigue. It would be cool if this could be used to automatically trigger a HomeKit scene based on a family member entering a room!

If so, it would be wonderful!

HomeKit Secure Video was added in iOS 13.

The current implementation supports limited object recognition for easier image searching HomeKit cameras that support security images of the video store in iCloud, with videos not taking into account the iCloud storage plan. However, video recording requires a 200 GB iCloud storage plan to support one camera and a 2 TB plan to support five cameras.

Apple should preview future updates of iOS 14, macOC 10.16, watchOS 7 and tvOS 14 at its Worldwide Developer Conference, which should take place this summer, but it seems more and more likely to be a meeting physical in San Jose to be canceled in favor of virtual meetings and presentations. because of the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak.
