HomeKit Secure Video is Apple's service that allows you to record video clips to iCloud without paying additional monthly fees beyond your iCloud plan. There aren't many options for doorbells that support this service. Models from Logitech and Belkin have been plagued with technical issues. After the success of their Doorbell G4, when Aqara launched their new Doorbell G410 with support for HomeKit Secure Video, I knew I had to check it out.
