Philips Hue Secure Camera

The Philips Hue Secure Camera is a versatile smart security camera that integrates seamlessly with the Philips Hue lighting ecosystem. Available in both wired and battery-powered versions, the camera delivers crisp 1080p HD video (with 2K resolution available on wired models) and features a wide 141.2-degree field of view that captures an entire room indoors or a significant outdoor area. Infrared night vision ensures clear footage even in complete darkness.

One of the camera's standout features is its seamless integration with Philips Hue lights - when motion is detected, your smart lights can automatically turn on as a visual deterrent or to illuminate the area for better visibility. The camera includes two-way audio for communication, real-time motion notifications sent directly to your phone, and end-to-end encryption (E2EE) by default for all video, audio, and snapshots. You receive 24 hours of free video history without any subscription, with optional paid plans offering 30 or 60 days of cloud storage plus AI object detection.

The camera connects via WiFi (2.4GHz and 5GHz), Bluetooth LE, and Zigbee, communicating with the Hue Bridge to create a mesh network with other Hue devices. Compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home. Setup is straightforward plug-and-play for the wired version, requiring no complicated installation.
