CES 2022: Wemo Lineup Gains HomeKit Secure Video-Compatible Smart Doorbell

The new Wemo Smart Video Doorbell is a camera-equipped doorbell option that supports HomeKit. The Wemo Smart Video Doorbell has a high-resolution camera with a 178-degree field of view.

The Wemo Smart Video Doorbell is able to offer 10 days of storage through an Apple subscription, starting at $0.99 per month. Apple's HomeKit video protocol ensures that access to the camera's footage is fully secured, and it adds features like motion detection notifications and specific alert for when people, animals, vehicles, or package deliveries are detected.

The Wemo Doorbell is the third Wemo product to offer HomeKit integration, and can be used without the Wemo app.

Installation, setup, and education on the video doorbell can be done by OnTech, but it can also be self-installed if you want.

The Wemo Smart Plug, the Wemo Smart Light switch, and the Wemo Smart Dimmer are all going to be new versions of popular products. The updated products will be built with support for Matter over Thread for more reliable connections and seamless compatibility with other Matter-enabled products.

Amazon, Apple, and other companies are supporting Matter, a new standard for smart home products that will be rolled out in 2022.

The Wemo Smart Video Doorbell can be ordered from the Belkin website. Wemo's Matter-supported devices will come out later in the year.
