HomeKit Surveillance

Apple is set to enter the smart home camera market with plans to launch its first security camera in 2026, aiming to revolutionize home security by offering seamless integration with its existing ecosystem.

Netatmo’s outdoor camera, compatible with HomeKit, is now available at an attractive price of $246. This device, which comes complete with a wall mount and all necessary wiring (it operates solely on wired power rather than batteries), includes a 12W LED light capable of bright, adjustable white illumination.

Apple’s HomeKit Secure Video has become a leading choice for those looking to monitor and manage home security camera footage directly from the Home app. This platform provides end-to-end encrypted video management, allowing users to review recorded events, access live feeds, and manage camera settings—all without depending on a camera manufacturer’s app or cloud service, which can be a privacy and security concern.

The Arlo Pro 5S Spotlight Security Camera three-pack has recently seen a significant price drop, bringing its cost down to $249.99 from the usual $649.99. This deal positions it as a competitive option in the smart security market, especially given its blend of high-quality performance and flexible integration.

Anona Security, a leading innovator in the smart home security industry, has introduced its cutting-edge Smart Home Security Suite on October 28 in Dover, Delaware. The suite includes the award-winning Anona Aurora Security Camera and the Anona Holo Wi-Fi Smart Lock, combining advanced technology with minimalist design to offer users a high-performance, energy-efficient home security solution.

The TP-Link Tapo C120 Security Camera offers a surprising amount of value for its price—high-res video, color night vision, an IP966 rating, two-way audio, built-in spotlights, and intelligent alerts—all for $24.

If you’re in the market for a battery-powered outdoor camera with solid features and minimal fuss, the TP-Link Tapo Wireless MagCam might be worth a look—especially with its current price drop to $69.

QUICK SUMMARY The new EufyCam S3 Pro has arrived, and it’s the first Eufy camera to work with Apple HomeKit since 2019. It offers 4k resolution and an innovative AI-powered MaxColor Vision feature, and can provide continuous power with just one hour of daily direct sunlight via its solar panel.

It’s been a while since Eufy came anywhere close to making a product that’s HomeKit compatible. However, they recently announced their E30 smart lock, with Matter, so things are looking good.

Aqara Camera E1: A smart camera with excellent privacy features Aqara’s Indoor Security Camera E1 is the little sibling to their excellent Camera Hub G3, aimed at those who don’t quite need all the bells and whistles or the higher price.
