Netatmo has announced that its Smart Outdoor Camera now supports Apple HomeKit Secure Video.
Support has been added through a free automatic update which applies to all Smart Outdoor Cameras including those bought before the launch of this compatibility.
“Users are particularly sensitive about the protection of their home security footage. They want to make sure that their videos remain confidential and that no one can access them. Our response to their concern was to design cameras with local storage. With their data privacy in mind and willing to give them further options, we decided to be compatible with Apple HomeKit Secure Video. This allows Netatmo users to securely back up their recordings to their iCloud with select storage plans. Starting from today, as well as local storage, Netatmo users can choose between 3 cloud back-up storage options: Apple’s iCloud, their personal Dropbox account or their FTP server.” explains Fred Potter, founder of Netatmo.
Through the Home app, Netatmo Smart Camera users can access their timeline and events from the past 10 days. They can also set their recording and notification preferences. Even if HomeKit Secure Video is configured, the Netatmo Camera will continue recording videos locally and all its features will still be accessible from the Netatmo app.
You can purchase the Netatmo Smart Outdoor Camera on sale today for $248.69, down from $299.99. It's also available with a built-in siren.
