Eight security cameras compatible with HomeKit to protect our home

Nothing like a camera to know what’s going on at home while we’re not there. The popularization of voice assistants in homes has made it easier for users to mount their small home alarm systems and place these useful accessories. Apple HomeKit is compatible with them and although there is not as much variety as for Alexa and Google Assistant, there are some interesting proposals. we bring you one selection of surveillance cameras compatible with Apple HomeKit.

Apple HomeKit-enabled security cameras

eufy Security 2K

Good, pretty and you could also say cheap. The first camera in the selection is the eufy Security 2K (39.99 dollars), one of the best sellers and with the best value for money. Although it can stream in high 2K resolution, its integration with Apple HomeKit reduces the video quality to 1080p (Full HD). It has two-way communication and night vision.
