When your smart lights, cameras, sensors, and app all work together seamlessly, it’s bright home security. With a Bridge, you get the full Philips Hue Secure ecosystem.
Smart home security: the system
Prevent unwanted guests
Whether you’re going out or going to sleep, arm your Secure system with a tap. Don’t forget to start the Mimic presence automation to make it look like you’re home if you’re leaving!
Detect who’s there
Secure cameras and sensors will detect any motion that occurs in their line of vision — and react instantly based on your personalized settings.
Get notified immediately
Find out exactly where and when motion was detected with a notification sent directly to your mobile device. With a Secure plan, you can even see if the motion was a person, animal, vehicle, or package.
Verify your response
Check the live view in the Security Center to see what (or who!) triggered the motion alert — and then choose what to do next. If you’ve got a Secure plan, you can also check in on your saved video history in the timeline.
Deter potential threats
Seem suspicious? Trigger an alarm that flashes your lights or sound the siren on your Secure camera with a tap in the app. You can even use two-way talk to warn off a potential intruder — or just say hello to a friendly face.
Complete control with the Hue app
You’ve got the tools — now meet the brains! The Security Center in the Hue app lets you make your home security brighter than ever with advanced features, automations, and more.
Get it all with the Philips Hue Bridge
The Bridge gives you the full suite of smart features for your Secure setup — light alarms, automations, and more — as well as the ability to expand your home security (or smart lighting!) setup.
Your privacy, our priority
End-to-end encryption. Two-factor authentication. A unique passphrase to access video clips and history. Philips Hue Secure was designed with your privacy in mind. Want to know more about how we’ll manage your data?
Questions & answers
Which Philips Hue products work with a Secure setup?
Your Secure devices integrate seamlessly into your Philips Hue system — and work with your other Philips Hue products. Lights can become part of a light alarm, which you can trigger after receiving a motion alert from a Secure device or an indoor motion sensor.
What do I need to start using Philips Hue security features?
That depends! If you already have a Philips Hue setup with a Bridge and lights, you can set up a Mimic presence automation in the Automations tab. Also have a motion sensor? Set up motion alerts in the Security Center!
If you're new to Philips Hue, you can use a Secure camera without a Bridge. However, you'll need to add a Bridge and lights to take advantage of light alarms. To get motion alerts when a door or window opens, add a Secure contact sensor.
What can I do with my security system if I think there's an intruder in my home?
If you receive a notification and think that there is an intruder in your home, you can do several things from the Take action screen. You can 1) call the contact you set up in your app, 2) call emergency services, 3) trigger a light and/or sound alarm, 4) or use two-way talk to communicate with them.
How does a Bridge improve my Secure system?
Adding a Bridge to your Philips Hue Secure system unlocks more home security features and allows you to take advantage of all that the system offers. You'll be able to:
- Add contact sensors and indoor motion sensors to your security system
- Set up a Mimic presence automation
- Control your lights and trigger alarms remotely
- React to notifications from your cameras and sensors in real-time
- Use your camera as a motion sensor to turn on lights when enter a room
Is there a free trial of the Secure plan's paid features?
Yes! Every Secure camera comes with a free 30-day trial of the Secure Basic plan.
