I’m really impressed with the Philips Hue Battery Operated security camera. It was very easy to set up and connect, even for someone who doesn’t want to spend a lot of time dealing with complicated instructions. The packaging is neat and secure, and the camera has a clean, modern design that looks great in any space. The battery operated setup is especially convenient because there’s no need to worry about running a power cable. The video quality is excellent and very clear, with sharp details that make it easy to see what’s happening. The camera also feels well made and sturdy and the compact design makes it easy to place wherever you need it. Overall this is a great option for home security. Easy installation, convenient battery operation, great video quality, and a sleek design make it a product I would definitely recommend.

Excellent quality from Philips hue. The camera has a clean design and works great for monitoring my home. The camera looks modern, feels well made,and provides a clear view. The night vision is also a great feature. Setup was simple,and I really like getting motion alerts when activity is detected. I especially like the convenience of the rechargeable battery and the ability to check the camera remotely, durable when it charges. Definitely a product I would recommend.
The imaging is so clear!

The app is super easy to use! It does not ask for a subscription! The connectivity is excellent and the alerts are prompt! It’s a great camera and I’d definitely buy more to cover the whole house!
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.
Not worth the money. No Apple HomeKit support

I bought 3 cameras a while ago because hue promised to support apple home in the future, well that “future” has never arrived and looks like Philips hue has completely abandoned their promise. The cameras themselves are garbage with the hue app and on top of the price hue wants 99$ subscription for these garbage cameras. I have completely lost any trust in this garbage company if they promise something and fail to deliver
Great Potential, but Not Ready to Replace Arlo

I purchased two Hue cameras hoping to start phasing out my aging Arlo system. I love Hue lights and have been a longtime unofficial ambassador for the brand, so the idea of consolidating my cameras and lighting into a single platform is very appealing. I was immediately disappointed by the lack of Apple Home support. Based on the product description mentioning Apple Home compatibility, I assumed the cameras would be supported as well. Aside from that, the video quality is noticeably better than my Arlo cameras, but the Hue app still feels much less useful for managing video. Because the Arlo app is designed specifically around cameras, it makes it much easier to quickly view all cameras, see recent activity, and browse recorded videos. Hopefully, over time, Hue adds Apple Home support and improves the camera and video experience within the app. I’m optimistic about the platform, but for now, I won’t be replacing my Arlo cameras with Hue.

The product does not come with any instructions. The hook the hanging is included. I honestly not sure how to hang it up or change the battery. Overall I would not purchase it
