I think I know the answer, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Once your Homekit Secure Video is stored at Apple, is there a way to automate downloading of the clips to your own storage? I know you can download clips to your phone (stored in Photos?), but it doesn't look like it can be made automatic. I feel like the 10 day life span of uploaded clips is way too short.
Got a tip for us?

I don't think so.
Curious, what is your use case for needing every clip longer than 10 days? I think most people will become aware of an issue and can manually preserve footage well under that time frame. I guess if you travel for a significant time frequently maybe?

It's just what I do. I currently have SecuritySpy recording all my cameras to a hard drive continuously. My preference to to keep clips as long as I can in case something is recorded that becomes useful later. Like if the police need to identify a car that was in the area or someone walking by my house who later is involved in a crime etc.
