Video clip recording
With a plan, the camera starts recording as soon as motion is detected, and then encrypts the video, saves it to the cloud and lets you export it to your mobile device.
Activity and Package zones
Create a zone for more detailed alerts that tell you if a person, package or vehicle has triggered your camera. You can even exclude areas, such as the pavement, to avoid unnecessary alerts.
Video history
Choose from a 30-day or 60-day video history, and then view recordings that your camera has made during motion events detected during that time.

How can I see how many days are left on my 30-day free trial of a Secure plan?

You can also look in your confirmation email. You will also receive notifications with updates when your free trial is going to expire.
Do the advanced features I get with a Secure plan require a Philips Hue Bridge?
