When looking for security cameras for our home or workplace, we have a large number of models available on the market. However, those that allow us to store the recordings on third-party servers, require a monthly subscription. Thanks to Apple's HomeKit Secure Video service that's over.
Apple introduced HomeKit Secure Video with the presentation of iOS 13, a function that allowed expanding the functionality of cameras compatible with HomeKit, one of the great forgotten of Apple's home automation platform. HomeKit Secure Video allows us to store camera recordings directly on Apple servers Without aditional costs.
There are very few security cameras that support this functionality on the market. If the current offer doesn't quite convince you, the new Logitech camera probably will. We are talking about the Logitech Circle View, a camera with 1080p resolution and a field of view of up to 180 degrees. This model offers a wide dynamic range, which allows us to obtain better details when the image shows dark or very light areas. It also has night vision.
This new model is made of aluminum, has a bidirectional speaker which allows communication in both directions through the Logitech Circle application. By being compatible with HomeKit Secure Video, we can store all recordings you make the camera directly in our iCloud account without having to pay an additional subscription.
The only requirement to enjoy this functionality is have contracted a 200 GB plan or higher for a camera. If we want to use more than one camera with this functionality, the contracted plan must be 2 TB. The price of the Logitech Circle View is $ 179 and we can find it in the website of this manufacturer.
