Philips Hue's new wired indoor/outdoor security camera comes in black or white and can work as a motion sensor for Hue's smart lighting and its new Hue Secure security system. Philips Hue is moving into the smart home security space with the launch of Philips Hue Secure, a DIY security system that leverages new cameras and new sensors that work alongside Philips Hue's smart lighting system to scare off potential burglars. When the system is triggered by a sensor, you can activate any compatible Hue lights to flash red or white and/or sound an alarm through the camera.
Philips Hue Secure is launching this fall with a wired indoor/outdoor camera ($199.99), a battery-powered indoor/outdoor camera ($249.99), a full-color floodlight camera ($349.99), and new contact sensors ($39.99) to secure windows and doors.
The Verge got an in-person preview of the new devices at IFA 2023 in Berlin this week. I was impressed...
