Apple announced HomeKit Secure Video at WWDC 2019. The feature will securely store recorded clips of activity captured by your security camera in iCloud for 10 days without counting towards your storage limit. You'll need a 200GB plan for one camera and a 2TB plan to support up to five cameras.

Unfortunately, HomeKit Secure Video didn't arrive with the launch of iOS 13; however, it may be coming soon. An Apple Store demo iPad was spotted running an interactive Home app which included HomeKit Secure Video, reports HomeKitHero.

Spotted by Zachary Truskowski, a demonstration iPad in an undisclosed Apple Store features an interactive Home App which includes HomeKit Secure Video. Zachary was able to grab a screen recording from the iPad, which shows off the feature complete with example footage. As seen in the minute and a half long video, various features such as A.I. identification of motion events are on display, with icons for people, animals, and vehicles depicted on a timeline. The video also shows off interactions with other devices in the same room as the camera, which is in shipping versions of iOS 13.
