Smart home enthusiasts have been eagerly awaiting new options in the video doorbell market, and the Philips Hue Secure video doorbell is finally here. The Philips Hue Secure video doorbell combines high-quality video with seamless smart home integration, making it a strong competitor for anyone looking to upgrade their home security setup. With a 2K image sensor, fish-eye lens, and smart lighting automation, this device aims to deliver both clarity and convenience right at your doorstep.
The Hue Secure video doorbell features a slim, candy-bar-style design with a large button that makes it easy for visitors to use. Unlike many battery-powered alternatives, this model requires a wired installation, meaning it’s ideal for homeowners with existing front door wiring who prefer consistent power over recharging batteries. The doorbell also comes with a dedicated plug-in chime, which doubles as a siren within the Hue security system—an important detail since it doesn’t connect with traditional doorbell chimes.
One of the standout aspects of the Philips Hue Secure video doorbell is its deep integration with Hue smart lights. Using its built-in Zigbee radio alongside dual-band Wi-Fi, the doorbell can automatically trigger Hue lights to turn on when motion is detected or when someone approaches your front door. This adds a layer of security and visibility while blending seamlessly into an existing Hue ecosystem. The doorbell is also compatible with platforms like Google Home and Samsung SmartThings, giving users flexible options for smart home setups.
The video performance is where the Philips Hue Secure video doorbell shines. With its 2K image sensor and wide fish-eye lens, it offers sharp visuals and a square aspect ratio that captures more of the scene compared to many competing models. This higher resolution ensures better clarity for identifying visitors, packages, or any activity near your entryway. Compared to other video doorbells on the market, this model competes directly with top-tier devices while offering a familiar Hue design and ecosystem advantage.
