Homekit secure video completely broken

The past few months I have been having nothing bit issues with constant notifications from my HomeKit cameras. I have Eufy cameras, one Apple TV as a hub and my HomePod mini on standby. I don't recall what caused the issue around the beginning of the year. It was either adding the HomePod or upgrading to TVos 15. I checked and rechecked my settings. I have notifications to only notify for specific motion and I have activity zones set up and I still get generic motion notifications for cars driving by outside the recoding zone and anything the wind happens to move inside the activity zone. I have removed and re-added, turned off and factory reset, logged out and logged in, tired different Apple TV's as a hub, tried the HomePod mini only as a hub. I have done every combo of every trouble shooting I can do and I still get constant notifications and now this morning one camera stopped recording. I have seen some mentions of the same issues in other forums but there is no certain fix and I've tried it all. What am I missing?

This answer is patently incorrect. With HomeKit Secure Video the logic for detecting people, animals, etc. within an activity zone is entirely contained within the HomePod or mini. This issue is 100% an Apple issue and Apple support has confirmed it’s an Apple issue to multiple people in this thread.


I personally have a ticket open and will be following up with Apple support soon.


I would encourage other people with this issue to mark this thread as helpful and log support tickets themselves.
