The Wyze Cam Pan v2 adds remote camera movement options and costs $39.98. Wyze makes lower-priced non-HomeKit options with local recording support, such as versions 1 and 2 of the Wyze Cam. Up to 512 GB of local storage is supported. It’s the Aqara Camera Hub GH2 Pro and costs $69.99 on Amazon. One of those actually does support HSV: Encrypted event footage is saved to iCloud but a microSD card can save continuous recordings. And those can be supplemented with any connected camera that offers either mircoSD support or works with the RSTP, short for the Real Time Streaming Protocol. I’d suggest Rob start or continue to use HomeKit Secure Video cameras in specific places where he wants event recording and notifications. Locally stored videos don’t get passed to the cloud, so the encryption requirement is less important. That’s good because while this technically wouldn’t deliver continuous HSV recording, it would effectively accomplish the same objective. However, Rob said he’s not averse to using microSD cards and/or a local video server as a solution. And it imposes the event recording only restriction on all HSV cameras. That’s plenty for continuous HSV recording. Due to my family’s photo and document storage requirements, for example, we have a shared 2 TB iCloud plan. I think that’s a little silly considering HSV requires an Apple iCloud plan to store webcam footage. The short answer is no as Apple limits HomeKit Secure Video recording to events only. Rob is wondering if there are any HomeKit Secure Video (HSV) options for recording and saving encrypted footage continuously. However, those videos aren’t encrypted and he’s concerned about law enforcement gaining access to his recordings. And he has a grandfathered Nest subscription that supports continuous recording. HomeKit is the primary system Rob uses in his smart home although he does have some Nest cameras. On our recent IoT Podcast, we took a question that Rob left on our IoT Voicemail Hotline.
