Eufy already has a strong reputation for securing customer's data on local storage, and Apple Secure Video will allow iOS customers to privately and securely capture activity from eufyCam 2 cameras in iCloud.

Customers that have 200 GB iCloud plan can add one camera at no extra cost; those with a 2 TB plan can add up to five cameras. With Apple TV, HomePod, or iPad as the home hub, HomeKit Secure Video uses on-device intelligence to privately analyze activity captured from the eufyCam 2 to detect whether it sees a person, vehicle or an animal before securely sending it to iCloud. This ensures that users are only notified when there is important activity detected in their home. EufyCam 2 will come with full Apple HomeKit Support at launch.
