Do apple one subscriptions come with the homekit camera recording feature?

I'd like to know whether the apple one subscriptions come with the icloud+ feature of recording videos from cameras (ie arlo).

And if so, do they follow the same tier of 1 camera for apple one invidivual, 5 cameras for apple one family, etc?

OR

Can I only get that feature by signing up to icloud+ or adding another icloud+ subscription to apple one?

I at least can't find it anywhere and support can't seem to help me other than sending me links to apple websites that don't seem to have the answer...

All Apple One tiers include an iCloud+ subscription. The number of HomeKit Secure Video cameras you can add depends on the amount of iCloud+ storage provided by your Apple One tier, just like if you were to subscribe to iCloud+ directly.

For an overview of what you can do with iCloud+ and HomeKit Secure Video, see Store encrypted security camera footage in iCloud with HomeKit Secure Video.

That is correct.

You’ll get up to five HomeKit Secure Video cameras by subscribing to the 200 GB iCloud+ plan. With the Apple One Individual plan, that would bring your total iCloud storage to 250 GB.

Thanks for clarifying!!! Great, that's a perfect answer. So if I wanted to add 5 cameras to an apple one individual plan, I just need to add on a 200gb icloud+ to my individual plan. I'll get 250gb total, plus the 5 camera recordings?
