  • Supply chain leak hints at two potential Apple home automation releases set for 2026

    I switched from my old Arlo cameras to Tapo - C225s, which I believe the one in the picture shows - and quite frankly regret having done so. Although the Tapo cameras connect directly to WiFi (and not to hub as with Arlo), they are constantly losing connection, making them unusable, especially if I'm away and have no possibility of restarting them. The integration with HomeKit is also very basic and without the Tapo app, they can't be controlled. Even a simple option to use an automatically functioning home and away mode (that the much older Arlo cameras had) is not possible. Not exactly useful with 5 people living together . . . 
    If Apple get involved, them I'm hoping for a much more integrated camera that can be operated through the Home app and isn't dependent on the manufacturer's app.
