Philips Hue Secure Camera (Wired)
- Zigbee
- Wi-Fi
Verified August 2026
The rare security camera that talks to Home Assistant through the same local Hue Bridge integration you're probably already running for lights — genuinely local streaming and control once the camera's paired to the bridge, no separate cloud-dependent camera integration needed. Requires a Hue Bridge (Pro or standard); it won't work standalone over just Wi-Fi.
In Home Assistant
Works through the same native 'hue' integration already used for Hue lights and sensors, once the camera is added to a Hue Bridge — no separate camera-specific integration to install. Camera viewing works locally through the Bridge without needing internet access, though a Hue Bridge (not just Wi-Fi) is mandatory; there's no bridgeless pairing path for this camera. Expect a heavier resource footprint than light entities since it's a live video stream, not just state polling.
