Best HomeKit camera UK
Updated: 23 October 2026
UK roundups keep crowning HomeKit cameras that are not in this amazon.co.uk set. You still need a fit and a skip among the six that are: Eve Cam, Logitech Circle View, the eufy IndoorCam E220, Eve Outdoor Cam in black and white, and the eufyCam E40 add-on. This page names who each one suits, and who should walk past it. The [HomeKit camera comparison](/hub/electronic-surveillance/homekit-camera) keeps the table and the scores. Those scores are editorial marks from the listings dated 19 October 2026, not a lab test, and they do not make one camera the safest. Pairing steps and Part P stay off this page.

The job comes before the stars
A HomeKit camera in this set is either exclusive HomeKit Secure Video, or a brand app with a HomeKit mode beside it. Eve Cam, both Eve Outdoor Cam colours, and Circle View are the first kind. They need a HomePod or Apple TV for clips when you are out, plus iCloud+, and they have no Android path. The E220 is the second kind: 2K in the eufy app, 1080p while using HomeKit, and Alexa or Google Assistant if someone in the house is not on iPhone. The E40 names HomeKit in a bullet; a UK review titled "Not compatible with Apple HomeKit" says activity zones grey out after the camera is added back to Home. Treat that as a claim plus a denial, not as confirmed Secure Video.
Stars will mislead you if you sort first. The E220’s 4.4 from 9,215 is the largest file, and the sample includes other eufy models, so that count is not a pure E220 test. Eve Outdoor Cam’s 3.5 from 593 is printed on black and white; do not add the counts. Circle View’s 3.6 from 813 is a real file with repeated disconnects. Pick the job, then the camera.
Indoor: Eve Cam, Circle View, or the E220
Buy Eve Cam, model 20ECJ9901, at £126.05 when you want Apple-only indoor Secure Video and you already pay for a hub and iCloud+. UK reviews praise the Home-app add, the leave-and-return automation, and the lack of an Eve cloud. Night vision is listed to 5 metres and the field of view is 150°. Skip it if you need Android, if you do not own a hub, or if you already know you hate a camera that goes offline until you power-cycle it. Owners who also have Circle View call Eve’s picture washed out next to that 180° lens.
Buy Circle View, model 961-000490, at £159.99 when you want a wider Home-only view and a physical privacy tilt or rear on/off button. The title says weatherproof IP64; the specification says Indoor and IP21. Logitech’s outdoor note keeps the power supply indoors. Skip it if you need a camera that stays online: the sample includes a unit four feet from the access point that was later thrown away. Skip it if you thought weatherproof meant a 240 V floodlight.
Buy the E220, model T8410, at £39.99 when you want a cheap indoor pan-tilt for a pet or a room and 1080p in Home is enough. That is the top pick in this set on score, not a claim that it is the safest camera. The eufy app still does 2K, pan, and follow. HomeBase is not compatible. Skip it if you want exclusive Secure Video with no second app, or if you read the IP65 row as outdoor permission. eufy’s UK page says indoor only. A card is praised for local recording and is not in the specification block.
Outdoor: floodlight, IP64 body, or solar add-on
Buy Eve Outdoor Cam only after you have neutral and earth on a 240 V point, a hub, and an iCloud plan, and after you have read the water and Wi-Fi notes. Black B09Z2T94S3 is £200.46 with IP65 on that table. White B0BMVT99GF is £216.00 with IP55 on that table. Eve’s FAQ also says IP55. Both are model 20ECA8101. The 593 reviews are one sample. Skip both colours if you expected USB outdoor power, if you need Android, or if water in the housing after heavy rain is a deal-breaker. White is not a second test and is not more reliable than black.
Do not buy Circle View as a garden floodlight. The body can sit outside if you accept the IP conflict and route the indoor brick through the wall. That is still an indoor supply on a lead, not Eve’s 240 V terminals.
Buy the E40, model T8144, at £89.99 only if you already own a HomeBase S380 or HomeBase 2. The listing says the add-on cannot run alone. Buyers who already have a hub praise 2K, colour night vision, and solar that held through cloudy UK weeks. Skip it if you have no HomeBase. Skip it if you need confirmed HomeKit Secure Video. Skip it if you thought it replaced a 240 V floodlight; there is no floodlight on this row, and number plates at 10–15 metres were called unreadable. It is the best-value outdoor hardware in this set on score against price, with those limits attached.
Who should skip each camera
Skip every Eve and Logitech camera if the household includes an Android-only viewer. Skip Eve Cam and Eve Outdoor Cam if you do not already own a HomePod, HomePod mini, or Apple TV and have not priced one. Skip Circle View if the disconnects are unacceptable, or if you need a 240 V lamp. Skip the E220 if you refuse a second app or if you need the lens on a wet wall. Skip the E40 if you have no HomeBase, or if you need activity zones that stay usable in Home.
A flat that cannot drill still has Eve Cam or the E220, and still has to ask the landlord. A driveway owner who wants Secure Video on the wall is looking at Eve Outdoor Cam after an electrician, not at the E220’s IP65 line. Nobody in this set is crowned the safest camera.

Common questions
Who should buy Eve Cam rather than Circle View?
Buy Eve Cam if you want a compact USB indoor camera, a 150° view, and exclusive Secure Video, and you already have a hub. Buy Circle View if you want 180° and a physical privacy control and will keep the brick inside. Circle View costs more on this shelf date (£159.99 against £126.05) and the file is heavier on disconnects.
Who should buy the E220 and accept 1080p in Home?
Buy it if you want pan and follow in a room or for a pet, a brand app for Android, and a £39.99 hardware price. HomeKit is a second add at 1080p. Skip it if you want Eve’s exclusive Secure Video path with no eufy app.
Who should skip Eve Outdoor Cam after the water and Wi-Fi notes?
Skip it if the reviews of water in the housing after heavy rain, or cameras that drop off Wi-Fi, are enough to stop a 240 V install. Skip it if you do not have neutral and earth. The black IP65 line does not cancel those reviews, and the white ASIN is not a cleaner sample.
Who should skip the E40 if they have no HomeBase?
Everyone without a HomeBase S380 or HomeBase 2. The listing says the add-on cannot function independently. One UK review that calls it a standalone SoloCam E40 contradicts that note. The box lists a mounting screw, not a hub.
Is Circle View a garden camera or an indoor camera with an IP64 body?
Both claims sit on the same listing. The title says weatherproof IP64. The specification says Indoor and IP21. Logitech’s outdoor article keeps the power supply indoors. Treat it as an indoor-brick camera whose body can sit outside, not as a 240 V floodlight.
Can an Android household use any camera in this set?
The E220, via the eufy app. Eve and Logitech have no Android path. The E40 names HomeKit and assistants in the bullets; controller type on that table is Google Assistant, and a UK review denies full HomeKit. Do not buy Eve or Logitech for an Android-only house.
Are the black and white Eve outdoor cameras two tests?
No. They share the same 3.5 from 593 Customer Reviews line and the same model number. The useful difference on the listings is colour, shelf price, and IP65 versus IP55. Do not add 593 twice.
What must you not crown as the safest camera?
None of these six. The scores are not a lab test, and this page does not claim a safety ranking. A fit is a job match: indoor USB, wide wired, 240 V floodlight, or solar add-on with a HomeBase you already own.
