< p >One of my favorite HomeKit features is HomeKit Secure Video, which lets me view and manage security camera recordings right in the Home app. There are a number of different cameras on the market that support this feature, and here are my favorites as someone who has tested many HomeKit accessories over the years. What is HomeKit Secure Video? HomeKit Secure Video is Apple's platform for recording and managing security camera footage. Everything is handled directly through the Home app, where you can manage settings, view recording history, and view live feeds from your cameras. Using HomeKit Secure Video has several advantages. This way everything is completely end-to-end encryption. It is also nice that you can see all your cameras and recordings in the Home app, in addition to the controls for other smart home accessories. When you use a camera via HomeKit Secure Video, you are not dependent on the camera manufacturer's app or cloud service. This means you don't have to worry about the camera manufacturer's security practices. Make sure you disable all recordings in that manufacturer's app. However, one of the biggest drawbacks to HomeKit Secure Video is that it doesn't record continuous video. Instead, it only records specific 'events', such as when motion is detected. This is great most of the time, but it means that if there is a problem and HomeKit fails to catch an event, you have no recourse. There are two other things to consider. To use HomeKit Secure Video, you first need an iCloud+ subscription. Of course, you also get the other benefits of iCloud+, such as more iCloud storage, iCloud Private Relay and Hide My Email. $0.99 per month: 1 camera $2.99 ​​per month: 5 cameras $9.99 per month: Unlimited cameras Finally, you'll also need a "home hub" to use HomeKit Secure Video. HomePod, HomePod mini and Apple TV can all serve as a home hub. The Best HomeKit Secure Video Cameras< /p >< h2 >Ecobee SmartCamera< /h2 >< p >Ecobee makes some of the best smart thermostats on the market and ventured into the security camera market in 2021 with the SmartCamera. At launch, the Ecobee SmartCamera was a bit hard to recommend due to its high price and lack of HomeKit Secure Video. In the intervening years, however, the Ecobee SmartCamera has become much more attractive. It is now competitively priced at $99 and supports HomeKit Secure Video. And if you have other Ecobee accessories, you can put together a whole-house system quite easily. It includes a 1080p camera, two-way audio, a premium design and more. The Ecobee SmartCamera can be found on Amazon for $99.99. Eufy C120 My first introduction to HomeKit Secure Video was with the Eufy Indoor Cam C120. You won't find any bells and whistles here, but I can report that it is rock solid in terms of performance and reliability. There's never been a time when I went to the Home app to watch the live feed or watch recordings and got an error message. Features include 1080p resolution via HomeKit, two-way audio and an adjustable (but plastic) stand. Read my full review of the Eufy Indoor Cam C120 for more details. It can also be used exclusively through HomeKit Secure Video – which eliminates security concerns related to Eufy and Anker. Best of all, the Eufy Indoor Cam C120 is the cheapest option on this list. A single camera costs less than $45 on Amazon, while you can get a two-pack for less than $80. Logitech Circle View One of my other HomeKit Secure Video cameras comes from Logitech. The Logitech Circle View can serve as an indoor or outdoor camera due to its weatherproof design. You'll need to keep it within reach of an electrical outlet, since it's a wired camera. I have two of these cameras and have found them to be rock solid in terms of reliability. Compared to the aforementioned Eufy camera, the Logitech Circle View unlocks a few notable features, such as improved night vision, a premium design, and a 180-degree wide-angle camera. These advanced features come at a higher cost. The Logitech Circle View will cost you $139.99 on Amazon. Still, the versatility of weatherproofing for outdoor use is a major advantage. Eve Outdoor Cam One of the best and most versatile outdoor cameras with HomeKit Secure Video is from Eve. The Eve Outdoor Camera has a versatile and durable design with 1080p resolution, two-way communication and night vision. Most notably, it also has a built-in spotlight that can be activated automatically based on motion detection. One thing to keep in mind is that the Eve Outdoor Cam is not wireless. It requires both a neutral wire and a connection to a ground wire. The Eve Outdoor Cam is pricey, but well worth it if you don't mind the wired design. You can find it on Amazon for under $250.
