Starting today, the Netatmo Smart Indoor Camera will support Apple HomeKit Secure Video. The camera joins the Circle 2 in supporting HomeKit Secure Video, although technically the Logitech smart camera is still in beta.
HomeKit Secure Video works by analysing the captured footage on the users’ iPad, HomePod or Apple TV. The footage then encrypts end-to-end and securely stored in iCloud. However, unlike the Circle 2, users of the Netatmo Smart Indoor Camera users will also be able to store their videos on the included Micro SD card. In addition to this, Users will also be able to still use the Netatmo security app to change settings and view recordings.
To use HomeKit Secure Video, users need a 200GB iCloud storage plan or above. It also needs an Apple hub, such as a HomePod, Apple TV or iPad running at least iOS 13.2.
The free update is being rolled out to all its smart indoor camera range over the coming days. The Company has also confirmed that the Netatmo smart outdoor security camera will support HomeKit Secure video later this year.
