HomeKit Camera Integration

Ryot — Wed, 01 Nov 2023 07:03:25 GMT

Hi Arlo team,

I have an issue with setting up and viewing my Pro 5S cameras up with Home Kit. I’ve successfully added the Base Station (VMB4540) via the Arlo Secure Home app and it appears as a hub. The issue is during the HomeKit setup up the two paired cameras connected to this hub do not appear in the list of available devices to add to HomeKit. I get stuck with reading the base station only. Somethings not quite right.

That's because the Pro 5s camera doesn't support homekit yet.

Ah right. Thanks for letting me know. I did not know that. Can the Arlo team confirm when they are going to push the new firmware out for it I wonder?

Ryot,

We expect the firmware update to allow HomeKit integration to take place later this year. We will make an announcement here on the community once we have more information available to share.
