Questions & answers

What can I see on a Secure timeline?

On the Secure timeline, you can do the following: 

- View all activity detected by your Secure camera, contact sensor, and indoor motion sensor
- See when your system was armed and disarmed
- Watch video clips

What can I do with my security system if I think there's an intruder in my home?

If you receive a notification and think that there is an intruder in your home, you can do several things from the Take action screen. You can 1) call the contact you set up in your app, 2) call emergency services, 3) trigger a light and/or sound alarm, 4) or use two-way talk to communicate with them.

Which Philips Hue products work with a Secure setup?

Your Secure devices integrate seamlessly into your Philips Hue system — and work with your other Philips Hue products. Lights can become part of a light alarm, which you can trigger after receiving a motion alert from a Secure device or an indoor motion sensor. 

How many Secure cameras can I have in one Philips Hue Home?

You can have up to 10 Secure cameras in a single Philips Hue Home.
