Smart protection for your home

Home security goes beyond just installing cameras—an efficient system must be smart, integrated, and reliable. With Deep on Tech’s monitoring solutions, every detail is designed to provide maximum protection, ensuring that only you have access to your home’s information.

Unlike traditional solutions, where recordings are vulnerable to cyberattacks or rely on third-party servers, Apple HomeKit Secure Video integration with iCloud ensures that your data is protected with end-to-end encryption—a key advantage that sets this system apart from any other solution on the market.

Enhanced security with smart cameras

Cameras compatible with Apple HomeKit Secure Video provide a level of privacy and protection unmatched by any other home automation platform.

HomeKit Secure Video – Apple's solution for securely storing your footage in iCloud.

Data Protection and Encryption

End-to-End Encryption – Only your authorized Apple devices can access the recordings, ensuring no risk of data breaches.
iCloud Storage – Videos are processed locally by your HomePod, Apple TV, or iPad before being uploaded to the cloud, ensuring total security and optimized internet usage.
Complete Control – Unlike conventional systems where data is accessible to service providers, with HomeKit Secure Video, not even Apple can access your recordings.

While other automation platforms rely on third-party cloud storage—often without end-to-end encryption or with company servers having access to your footage—HomeKit Secure Video ensures total privacy and puts full control in the hands of the user.

Advanced features for complete protection

Beyond data security, the monitoring system implemented by Deep on Tech features advanced automation and artificial intelligence technologies, enhancing home protection even further:

Real-time Event Detection – Instant alerts for any suspicious activity, preventing intrusions before they occur.
Advanced Facial Recognition – Differentiates between residents, frequent visitors, and unknown individuals, enabling smart notifications that reduce false alarms.
Automated Monitoring – The system can activate exterior lights, lock doors, and send alerts upon detecting unexpected presence.
NVR Redundancy (for specific cases) – For projects requiring an extra layer of security, we implement local recording via NVR, ensuring continuous storage independent of the internet.

Your Privacy First. Security, encryption, and full control over your data—because your smart home should be as secure as you need it to be. — **Your Privacy First.** Security, encryption, and full control over your data—because your smart home should be as secure as you need it to be.

Comparison with other security solutions

While many cameras on the market rely solely on third-party servers for recording—leaving users with little control over their own data—HomeKit Secure Video stands out by ensuring absolute privacy and seamless integration with the Apple ecosystem.

Competing platforms often rely on external cloud accounts, making the system vulnerable to unauthorized access.
Most automation services monetize user data, granting indirect access to companies for commercial purposes—something that does not happen with iCloud.
In other solutions, recordings can be accessed remotely by the company’s own servers, whereas with HomeKit Secure Video, only the owner has access to encrypted footage.

Choosing a truly secure and private system directly impacts the peace of mind and control you have over your home.

The security of your home shouldn’t be compromised by generic solutions. With Deep on Tech, automation and monitoring work together to deliver an integrated, secure, and reliable experience.

HomeKit Secure Video and iCloud set a new standard for privacy and efficiency, ensuring that only you have access to your recordings, with no risk of breaches or unauthorized sharing.

For projects requiring enhanced security, local recording via NVR is strategically implemented, ensuring internet-independent redundancy and maximum reliability.
