Matter 1.5 may finally fix the biggest headache in buying security cameras - here's how
"you'll also be able to mix and match camera brands, while still viewing the feeds and receiving notifications through your preferred smart home platform. The Matter 1.5 update supports two-way talk, pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ), privacy zones, and multiple streams, and works regardless of whether you use local or cloud storage for your video history. Since Matter runs locally over Thread or Wi-Fi, you can also expect faster loading times for live feeds."
"The Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) is introducing Matter 1.5, its latest effort to remove interoperability woes. This update introduces Matter support for security cameras, enhanced energy management solutions, and integrations with more specialized devices, such as soil moisture sensors and garage openers. Adding Matter compatibility for security cameras with the 1.5 update means that your Matter cameras will work across brands and ecosystems, rather than forcing you into a single ecosystem."
Matter 1.5 extends the Matter protocol to support security cameras, energy management features, and specialized sensors like soil moisture and garage openers. Supported camera features include two-way talk, pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ), privacy zones, and multiple streams with compatibility for both local and cloud storage. Camera feeds over Thread or Wi-Fi deliver faster loading times. The update consolidates shades, blinds, awnings, shutters, gates, and garage doors under a unified 'closure' device category and adds motion types such as slide, rotate, and lift for precise positioning. The protocol update will enable broader cross-platform interoperability and a wider range of Matter-certified products.
