Home security cameras

To secure your home and deter burglars, equip it with an effective network of high-performance cameras. Before you do anything, here are some good questions to ask: 
1. How many rooms require a security camera? A wide-angle camera in the living room is usually enough to cover all the sensitive openings. You can also consider installing cameras in your garage, driveway or study. 
2. Do you want to protect your privacy? Our indoor cameras are equipped with a motorised privacy shutter that closes automatically when you're at home. 
3. For an extra level of security, the Somfy One and Somfy Outdoor Camera are equipped with a siren that can be activated directly from the app.
 

1- DOWNLOAD THE QR-CODE

Go to the "Settings" menu, then select "Apple HomeKit" in your Somfy Protect application. Then press the product listed on this screen and the HomeKit association code will appear.

You can download the code and it will then be saved in your photo gallery. You can then print the HomeKit link code or display it on another screen in order to install your camera with HomeKit.

2- OPEN THE HOME APP

Please note that you must be connected to the wireless network you want to install your camera on.

You must also have an iOS version equal to or higher than version 11.3.

3- ADD AN ACCESSORY

If this is the first time you’ve installed HomeKit accessories at this location, click on “Add Accessory” at the bottom of the screen.

If you’ve already installed HomeKit accessories at this location, click on the top right of the screen, then on “Add an accessory” at the bottom of the next screen.

4- SCAN THE QR-CODE AND WAIT FOR THE ACCESSORY TO BE INSTALLED

The Somfy Indoor Camera is automatically detected and installed.

5- ADD OF THREE SERVICES

Three services, which you can rename, will be added to your HomeKit installation:

• The “video” service for hearing and seeing
• The “motion detection” service which can either alert you in the event of motion or trigger other HomeKit equipment (such as switching on the light).
• The "light" service, so you can turn the light connected to your camera on or off.

To control these features separately, you can choose to display them as separate tiles by clicking "Show as separate tiles" in the camera settings.

The points to check before selecting a security camera system: 
1. Your Wi-Fi connection. To be able to watch live video, you’ll need 500 Kbps minimum for HD video and 1.2 Mbps for Full-HD video. 
2. Electrical connections. When planning where to put your indoor camera (sitting on a piece of furniture, mounted on a wall, etc.), make sure a power supply is located close by. 
3. Outside For an outdoor camera, you’ll need an outside power supply or incoming cables through the wall. You can also use a light fixture for installing your camera.
