Set up HomeKit Secure Video on all your devices
You can access your HomeKit Secure Video on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV if you or someone in your Family Sharing group has an iCloud+ subscription. You also need to set up a home hub. See the Apple Support article Set up your HomePod, HomePod mini, Apple TV, or iPad as a home hub.
