SecuritySpy -> HomeKit iCloud camera recording
I'm not sure what is involved, but is there any chance of using Apple's new "Record to iCloud" feature that a couple of HomeKit cameras now support? I would like for SecuritySpy to look like a HomeKit camera (I designate which cameras in SecuritySpy setup) and support the iCloud recording.
I know there's a lot of in between (HomeKit certification, probably, etc.). Just thought it would be a nice feature.

If you need to achieve recording to the cloud, you can do this with SecuritySpy in one of two ways:
- Use a cloud service such as Dropbox, and direct SecuritySpy to create its recorded files in the Dropbox folder; they will then be uploaded automatically (please see the FAQ Can SecuritySpy capture to a cloud service such as Dropbox?).
- Get SecuritySpy to record locally and then upload the captured files to an FTP or Amazon S3 server for offline backup (see the Uploads section of the SecuritySpy user manual).
I don't know that I *need* recording to the cloud - I just thought it would be nice to use the Apple features. I trust Apple & HomeKit/iCloud. Other services I'm not too likely to use.
I have a Logi Circle 2 camera coming, for testing with HomeKit/iCloud. Hopefully I can also use it to stream to SecuritySpy at the same time. If not, I may not keep it. I found the discussion from June 2017, and I'm not sure if anything has changed. I'll make a separate post about it, when I've tested.
Thanks,
