"The Matter 1.5 spec, announced today, adds support for all types of video cameras - from indoor and outdoor, wired and battery-powered cameras, to video doorbells, baby monitors, pet cams, and more. Matter support should be possible with an OTA update, so some of your existing cameras could become Matter-compatible. The new spec also adds garage door controllers, soil sensors, bi-directional charging for EVs, and more advanced integration with utilities for energy management."
"Cameras will use Matter-over-WiFi (or ethernet), which, as a local protocol, should improve reliability and latency, especially for things like streaming footage to your smart display and using camera events, such as motion, to trigger other devices and smart home automations. However, all of these benefits will ultimately depend on how each platform and manufacturer decides to implement support - specifically, whether they decide to support cameras in Matter at all."
Matter 1.5 extends the interoperability standard to include all major types of video cameras, from indoor and outdoor units to battery-powered devices and video doorbells. Many existing cameras could gain Matter compatibility through OTA updates. Cameras will operate over Matter-over-WiFi or ethernet to provide lower latency and more reliable local streaming and to enable camera-triggered automations like motion events. Matter-certified cameras will support live video and audio streaming, two-way talk, local and remote access, PTZ controls, and configurable detection and privacy zones. Actual user benefits depend on platform and manufacturer implementation choices.
