I can’t seem to get an answer to the following question. Does anybody know if it’s possible to stream or SEE more than 5 cameras BUT ONLY record 5. I would be perfectly ok with only recording 4or5 cameras, but I would like to be able to SEE 8

I can’t seem to get an answer to the following question. Does anybody know if it’s possible to stream or SEE more than 5 cameras BUT ONLY record 5. I would be perfectly ok with only recording 4or5 cameras, but I would like to be able to SEE 8 around my house at night. Ie: get a notification of movement from one of the 5 recording and permitted cameras but then be able to VIEW all cameras LIVE (under the knowledge that only 5 preset are actually recorded).

iMac 27″, macOS 11.0

Hello there.


Yes, you can stream more but only record on 5. I have 10 cameras total right now but it only lets me record 5. The other 5, I can still view the stream (just no recording). I have a mix of Logi Circle 2 and Circle Views.


I hope Apple allows more than 5 recording at some point soon.


Hope that helps.

Hi Brett,


Thank you for choosing Apple Support Communities.


If we understand right, while you know only 5 cameras can record, you want to be able to view 8 cameras.


Looking at Use HomeKit Secure Video, the articles shows it supports up to 5 cameras. 


This may be good feedback for you to leave at Product Feedback.


Let us know if we can help further.

Cheers!
