- A new leak says Philips Hue is working on a Video Dresser
- It would represent the next big expansion for Philips Hue Secure Lineup
- Philips Hue already makes lights, contact sensors and security cameras
While Philips Hue makes a treasure trove of light, from simple bulbs to sophisticated fixtures, it also produces security cameras and connected wall jack that is part of the smart home.
We just received our best look yet on what could be next from Philips Hue. Seam stained by hat blogPhilips Hue has been working on a doorbell, and now the sales have found pictures of ‘Philips Hue Secure Doorbell’ in the latest app update.
It is true that the competitive world of smart video dock bells may be given a new post, and for those already invested in the Philips Hue ecosystem, it can plug-and-play aspect, like the name alone tease, be exciting enough.
Furthermore, it would help build the current Philips Hue Secure lineup, which is currently consisting of security cameras and contact sensors. Everything can be customized to work with Philips Hue Smartlights.
As revealed in the images shared in this new report, Philips Hue does not appear to hover from the work formula to a video door clock. The alleged Video Descents from the brand will be a vertically high rectangle with the physical camera lens and sensors up and a large, circular ring button at the bottom.
If this turns out to be the case, Philips Hue’s Video Dresser fits right along with the many other competing options, including the Ring Video Doorbell lineup. In addition, the report notes that it will have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connection, probably with the former for setup and the latter for connection to the Internet.
Hue blog also notes that a QR code is required for setup suggesting that “the camera is likely to transfer the video signals in encrypted form.” This is good news for security, especially as this gives a view from your front door and looks outward.
Like other video door bells, Philips Hue’s safe doorbell is likely to require a cable associated installation, which means it can’t just run on batteries. This makes it a little more limiting option for tenants or people without the necessary power lines.
Given the wired requirement, this doorbell could probably cause a time on an already existing ring box that you may have installed in your home.
Either route, the latest specifications, name and first image-ja, a digitally drawn portrayal-of Philips Hue First Doorbell, certainly builds the hype and teases a likely more premium option that is custom built to work well in the existing ecosystem. Given that many Philips Hue products work with other smart home systems with a bridge, the doorbell must also play nicely with Amazon, Google or Apple Home.
Of course, nothing is official for Philips Hue to confirm it, and so far the brand has not even teased that the doorbell is coming. Hue -Blog has reported the possibility of a doorbell from the brand for a good bit, but this latest leak, thanks to the Philips Hue app, is our best look yet. The report also notes that a launch is not expected later in 2025, probably in the fall (August to October), so it can be several months before we hear something official.
