Smart-home enthusiasts are often drawn to Apple’s HomeKit platform for its relative simplicity and enhanced security measures. Similarly, Apple HomeKit Secure Video (HSV) for security cameras looks absolutely terrific—on paper. The streamlined video cloud service is secured by end-to-end encryption, the gold standard for protecting your data on smart devices. (It also ensures that no one can access your content—not even Apple or law enforcement—without your permission.) HSV adds some smart features, such as face and object recognition, including people, animals, vehicles, and packages. It even allows you to mix and match camera brands and integrate them with other smart-home devices. All of those capabilities are included with your subscription to Apple’s iCloud service, which automatically backs up all your iOS, macOS, and iCloud for Windows devices.
