The eufyCam 2 Pro is a 2K security camera system compatible with Apple's HomeKit framework. With an upgraded iCloud storage page, it's also compatible with HomeKit Secure Video.

As with other eufy cameras, the eufyCam 2 Pro features a 12-month rechargeable battery. It also sports a 140-degree field of view, two-way audio, night vision and infrared support, and customizable notification settings.

Being HomeKit Secure Video-compatible means that footage is encrypted in iCloud and data isn't sent to Anker. A 200GB iCloud storage plan supports one camera, while the 1TB plan is compatible with up to five.

The eufyCam 2 Pro can be purchased from Best Buy for $349.99, which includes two cameras and a security system. Individual add-on cameras can be purchased for $149.99.

    What does homekit compatible mean for a camera, does it mean I can say hey Siri show me the cameras video on the ATV. Or can I see the camera in the home app besides sending video to iCloud what all can be done in the homekit ecosystem.

    I don't think that's the same product - no mention of "Pro" in the model or description.

    Does this device work without the HomeKit Secure Video iCloud plan?  Can I use local storage?
