Onvis HomeKit Camera inc Apple HomeKit Secure Video

Unfortunately Onvis has been unable to supply this camera at a competitive price so this camera will be replaced by a new HomeKit camera.

The Onvis HomeKit camera features Apple HomeKit Secure Video (HSV).

HSV enables secure storage of all activity detected by this HomeKit camera within iCloud, which is totally free for secure video storage .... that's provided you have a registered iCloud plan. You can even download video and store on your device or Apple computer.

Additionally there's a MicroSD slot on the camera so you can also store video locally.

This means you can securely store both video and audio collected by the Onvis camera. Then view live and recorded video and audio from the Apple Home app on your iPhone, Mac or iPad.

In Apple's Home app (on your iPhone, iPad or Mac), simply set the Onvis camera to automatically stream and record activity when you and others are away and turn off when you’re home.

You are able to view both live and recorded video from this HomeKit camera in the Apple Home app on your iPhone, iPad, AppleTV, Apple Watch or Mac desktop or laptop. You have a ten day recording history within your iCloud account with your Onvis HomeKit camera, and remember HomeKit secure video camera recordings don’t count against your iCloud storage limit.

The Onvis HomeKit camera shoots 1080p HD video at 30 frames per second in all 4 streamings. That's one for iCloud with 4 seconds pre-recording, two for live streamings and another for MicroSD recording, and you can set notifications to be received on your Apple Watch or iPhone.

We replaced our Nest IQ cameras (which cost 3 or 4 times the Onvis camera price) with the Onvis C3 cameras. The quality of video is startling superior with the Onvis C3 camera ... it is difficult to believe just how much superior the Onvis picture is over the very expensive Nest IQ. 

With an IMX starlight CMOS sensor built in to the camera, you will see your images in colour, even in extremely dim light for high quality night vision, and inbuilt intelligence determines when a person, animal, or vehicle will be recorded.

The Onvis camera keeps four seconds pre-recording rolling, offering two live streams, so you can check your home in real time.

For local SD recordings you can choose between the following -

1920 x 1080 (full HD)
1280 x 720 (HD)
640 x 360
480 x 270
320 x 180
1280 x 960
1024 x 768
640 x 480 (SD)
480 x 360
320 x 240

Being a quality product, our Onvis HomeKit camera is compatible with both 2.4GHz and 5GHz wifi bands.

Feel free to download the Onvis HomeKit C3 camera user guide.

The Onvis C3 camera comes with a great QuickStart Guide, even including your own individual QR code that you can scan, rather than using the 2 QR codes that can be found on the camera.  This is a little nicety as HomeKit veterans will know how much of a pain it is, to reset a device that is stuck to the ceiling or has a QR code covered by tape and the like.

You can also download our guide to connecting multiple phones or users to the same camera.

HomeKit Australia is the sole and exclusive supplier of Onvis HomeKit products in Australia, including the Onvis HomeKit camera with Apple secure video.
