Connect an Apple Home camera

In the app, choose HomeKit Camera on the first setup screen.
Cameras paired to your Home — Aqara, eufy, Logitech Circle, Eve, Ecobee and others — can be used straight away.

Before you connect

  1. Make sure the camera shows in the Home app on this Mac (same iCloud account).
  2. In Captured Motion pick HomeKit Camera. macOS asks for HomeKit access; allow it. If you refused earlier, System Settings → Privacy & Security → HomeKit → Captured Motion.
  3. Tap Rescan if the list is empty, then choose your cameras.

If it does not connect
