This week’s update to the Philips Hue app includes a new Hue Secure video caller, Hueblog reports. The unannounced product appears in a section with instructions for adding devices for which you don’t have a QR code.
In the screenshots below, taken in the Hue iOS app, the Hue Secure doorbell is a regular video doorbell – tall, rectangular, with a large button inside an LED circle.
Hueblog writes that the camera is not expected to launch until this fall, so it may be a while before pricing or specifications for the camera are available. The best way to set your expectations is probably to look at other Hue Secure cameras, such as the floodlight and indoor/outdoor options launched in 2023. Each of them offers 1080p video, two-way communication and end-to-end recording encryption, as well as smart alerts for people, pets, and vehicles.
