HomeView Becomes Indoor Security Camera!
2 Nov
Summary
- HomeView may soon function as an indoor security camera.
- Users could customize recording and livestreaming settings.
- HomeKit Secure Video ensures user privacy and notifications.
Apple's HomeView smart home hub may soon offer indoor security camera functionality, leveraging HomeKit Secure Video. Code strings found within the Home and HomeView settings apps indicate potential video recording and streaming features, alongside robust privacy controls. Users registered to a home will have exclusive access to video streams and recordings. A green status light and an audible chime will alert household members when recording or streaming begins.
Additional privacy measures include notifications for all registered Home app members whenever HomeKit Secure Video settings are altered, such as enabling motion detection or recording. HomeView could offer four video modes: Off, Detect Activity, Stream, and Stream & Allow Recordings, with options to activate these based on user location (home, away, or asleep). This integration highlights Apple's ecosystem advantage, potentially offering a seamless experience without third-party apps.
