Eufy Security Unveils New eufyCam 2, One of the First Security Cameras to Support Apple HomeKit Secure Video

The eufyCam 2's integration with HomeKit brings an extra level of usability and security to iOS users. Users can use the Apple Home app and Siri to stream live video from the eufyCam2 to iPhone or iPad. The eufyCam 2 sends rich notifications directly to iPhone or iPad whenever it detects motion, so that customers can see live video immediately from the lock screen of their devices.

eufyCam 2 will be one of the first security cameras to take advantage of HomeKit Secure Video as an update to customers later this year. Eufy already has a strong reputation for securing customer's data on local storage, and Apple Secure Video will allow iOS customers to privately and securely capture activity from eufyCam 2 cameras in iCloud.

Using the Home app, iOS customers will be able to see live video of their security cameras as well as view 10-days of recent activity detected by them. Customers that have 200 GB iCloud plan can add one camera at no extra cost; those with a 2 TB plan can add up to five cameras.

With Apple TV, HomePod, or iPad as the home hub, HomeKit Secure Video uses on-device intelligence to privately analyze activity captured from the eufyCam 2 to detect whether it sees a person, vehicle or an animal before securely sending it to iCloud. This ensures that users are only notified when there is important activity detected in their home.

EufyCam 2 will come with full Apple HomeKit Support at launch. Apple HomeKit Secure Video will come as an update later in the year.

Key features of the EufyCam 2 include:

• 365-Day Battery Life (on a single charge)
• 1080p Full HD
• No Monthly Fees Required
• Smart Image Enhancement
• Night Vision
• Apple Homekit Compatibility

The EufyCam 2 will be available soon from Best Buy for $349.99.
