The set up wasn’t as difficult as I anticipated. While I did not drill to install, the battery feature is great so I don’t need to have cords constantly connected to it. The video including night vision was way better than I thought it would be too. It’s set up in a bedroom that is far away and seldom used, so I wanted the added security of being able to monitor that room conveniently. This device definitely does the job.
Very easy to install

Super easy to install. Just need to attach a magnetic hold on the wall and the camera is magnetically attached to it. Can easily switch to change angles. Color is black matte, modern and sleek. It integrates with the app, so I can also view live and history. Video quality is pretty clear. From unboxing to having a working camera installed took me probably 15 mins. Runs on battery so no wiring is needed, and the camera doesn’t need to be near an outlet. Battery life is pretty decent. One day goes down by 3% only. When on alert, it flickers all the Philips Hue lights I have in the house.
A compact and convenient security camera with flexible battery operation and reliable performance.

The Philips Hue Battery Operated Security Camera has a sleek, compact design and is easy to set up. The battery operated makes placement flexible, while the connectivity and performance provide convenient monitoring and peace of mind.

Set up was not the easiest for me. I own another brand of security cameras and this one took a lot longer to get set up and connected to my phone. Once it’s set up, it has been working fine. I do really like the alarm feature where you can set off an alarm to help scare off intruders. The video and image quality are clear and good quality too. I just found the app and set up we’re not as easy to navigate as the other type I use. I would pick the other one over this one as of right now.
Amazing Feature Set for Your Home Security

This camera is built like a tank! The materials and durability speak for themselves, which is great for an outdoor camera like this. My favorite surprise feature was the metallic base that you screw in, which then has an extremely strong pull to mount the camera directly onto. Much easier than some of my older more manual options. Was easy to set up on WiFi and to connect to my Hue Bridge (though I don’t think you necessarily need one). I also love battery cameras like this because you don’t need to worry about wiring and only need to charge once every 6 months or so. The detection and notification are highlights for keeping an eye on my home, and I love that it has enough range to keep an eye on the yard as well from different vantage points. Video and audio are highlights quality which is a necessity for things like this. Can also do alarms etc. Great device for any homeowner to stay on top of their property and stay safe!
Overall, it's convenient, reliable, and a great addition to my home security.

I really like this Philips Hue security camera. It was easy to set up, and I love that it's battery operated, so I didn't have to worry about wiring. The video quality is clear, and getting motion alerts on my phone gives me peace of mind. I also like the sleek design—it looks great around my home.

Absolute Worst Product You Can Spend Your Money On

The Hue Secure Camera is, without question, one of the most disappointing smart home products I've ever purchased. For a premium-priced camera, I expected premium performance. Instead, I got unreliable software, limited functionality, and a system that feels white-labeled. I regret buying it and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Save yourself the money and look elsewhere - this is easily one of the worst products you can spend your money on.
