It’s a shame they don’t seem to want to support Apples HomeKit Secure Video platform on their new devices. At least with apple we can trust everything stays local.

The Eufy cameras I do have that support home kit, I’ve blocked internet access to them from my router and can only access them through Apples Hone app.

That said I do recommend blocking internet to all cameras and use a self hosted app like Scrypted or Homebridge to manage your cameras

I think the part of the reason is that Apple HSV doesn’t support resolutions higher than 1080p.

They have been promising RTSP for a long time now and also failed to deliver.

Heck, I went beyond blocking and just pulled the Ethernet. The only time I need to look at the DVR is when my house has been broken into.

The root of the problem here is that there is this idea that “cloud storage“ or “network access” can be private.
