When will HomeKit secure video support 2k or 4k video?

The quality of my HomeKit Secure Video is currently terrible. When I compare my Nest cam clips at 1080p side by side with my HomeKit Secure Video clips for my 1080p Homekit Secure Video Camera the quality difference is staggering. Both cameras side by side pointing at the same garden. The Google Nest video clips at 1080p are high definition. You can read logos, see faces clearly and see good quality deep into the image. The HomeKit secure video footage however looks like VHS tape footage. Faces are pixelated and there would be no hope of reading a numberplate. Looks horribly pixelated and compressed and not 1080p quality like the Nest.

Hoping we have an improvement to this compression / pixelation of the video streams / recordings asap.

Agree, it’s a reason to not use it. I bought a test camera to see if I would swap out my Amazon Blink system. Love how it’s supposed to work, but downgrading the video is a non-starter. My new Tapo camera is going back to Amazon. Seems like this would be an easy SW fix. Apple must not want to eat into their too high margins by enabling higher quality and customer satisfaction. Corporate greed is all they know

No idea when Apple will upgrade to 2K or 4K or beyond, but we all feel your pain. I love Homekit, but its limitations are getting tough to live with...

I get that 2k can be a lot of data. Especially to save on their servers. Especially because it doesn’t count towards the iCloud storage. I’d have 2 solutions 1) 2k upgrade and use your cloud storage 2) add a HomeKit nas that lets your store it on site. At that point you could probably do 4k support also.
