Netatmo Smart Indoor Camera Gets Apple HomeKit Secure Video Support
Posted February 25, 2020 at 4:15pm by iClarified
The Netatmo Smart Indoor Camera has officially been updated with Apple HomeKit Secure Video support. The company announced the update earlier today following a period of beta testing.
"As of today, the Smart Indoor Camera will support Apple HomeKit Secure Video. This free and automatic software update will be made gradually available to all Netatmo Smart Indoor Cameras in the upcoming days, including those already purchased."
How It Works:
With HomeKit Secure Video, the videos recorded by security cameras are analysed locally on users’ iPad, HomePod or Apple TV. The footage is encrypted end-to-end and securely stored in iCloud where no one can see them. Thanks to the HomeKit Secure Video support, Netatmo Smart Indoor Camera users will be able to store their videos locally on the included microSD card free of charge and on their iCloud with select storage plans. Users will benefit from 10-day automatic iCloud storage for their videos, and this will not affect their storage capacity. If they want to keep the videos, after these 10 days, they will be able to save them in their iCloud, which will count against their storage limit.
Users can access their timeline and events from the past 10 days via the Home app. Recording and notification preferences can also be set from the app.

A 200GB iCloud storage plan gets you access to HomeKit Secure Video for one camera and a 2TB plan gives you access for up to five cameras. You'll also need an iPad, Apple TV, or HomePod to act as a hub and iOS 13.2 or higher.
You can purchase the Netatmo Smart Indoor Security Camera for $191.11 from Amazon. The Smart Outdoor Camera will add HomeKit Secure Video compatibility later this year.
