D-Link Says It Will Deliver HomeKit Wi-Fi Camera Later This Year
D-Link announced a Wi-Fi camera that will support Apple’s HomeKit framework, due out later this year, and a 180-degree camera available now for the mydlink ecosystem. The addition of Siri support with HomeKit “allows cameras to be voice-enabled, giving families even more options to control and monitor their homes with faster results,” said D-Link. Additional details of the HomeKit-compatible camera will be available later this year, it said. D-Link’s 180-degree DCS-8200LH Wi-Fi camera records in 720p video and supports IFTTT (If This Then That), allowing users to integrate with other apps and devices, said D-Link. An example IFTTT recipe: The DCS-8200LH begins recording automatically when users leave the house or takes a still shot when the connected doorbell rings, said the company. The camera's night vision functionality allows recordings up to 16 feet away “in complete darkness” via built-in infrared LEDs, D-Link said.
