The Philips Hue Wired Plug-in Security Camera White (2-Pack) has been a fantastic addition to my home security setup. I really love the crisp 2K video quality, which makes it easy to see details clearly during the day and at night, and the wide field of view gives me great coverage without feeling like I need cameras everywhere. The smart motion detection is another feature I really appreciate because it helps alert me when activity is detected, and I love being able to customize motion zones and notifications. Setup was straightforward, and the cameras integrate and update seamlessly with my existing Philips Hue system and Hue app. Being able to connect my security cameras with my smart lighting and have my Hue lights respond to activity is such a convenient feature. The cameras also have a clean, modern design that looks great around the home, while being suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Overall, the Philips Hue Wired Plug-in Security Camera gives me excellent video quality, smart features, reliable connectivity, and great integration with my smart home, making this 2-pack an easy five-star recommendation.

Easy to install but I wish it had a better design to hang on wall . Clear video and pristine color . Took about 5 minutes to hang on wall . Comes with everything you need to have good security in home . Definitely worth getting. App works great for any device. The magnetic accessories make it easy to rotate . So if you’re looking for a good security device system this one might be the one
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.
Had hiccups the first month, smooth sailing since

I’m really impressed with how easy they are to set up and use. The two pack is especially convenient because I can have one camera covering the front of the house and another monitoring the backyard or another area that I want to keep an eye on. The picture quality is clear and detailed, which makes it easy to see what’s happening even when I’m checking the camera from a distance. I also really like the night vision because the image stays surprisingly clear in low light conditions. The motion detection is another feature I’ve found useful. I get alerts when there’s activity, so I don’t have to constantly open the app and check the cameras myself. The cameras have a clean, simple design and don’t look overly bulky or out of place. Since they’re plug in, I don’t have to worry about charging batteries or remembering to recharge anything, which is a huge plus for me. Once they’re installed, they’re basically something I can set up and forget about. What I appreciate most is the peace of mind they give me. Being able to quickly check what’s going on around my home from my phone is incredibly convenient, especially when I’m away. The app is straightforward, and I didn’t have any major issues getting everything connected and running.
