Well then I guess we’ll see. One thing is for sure - Thread has nothing to do with it. Thread uses ZigBee frequencies and handles the low power stuff. Anything video is going to have to go over Matter WiFi according to what I see.
Very little out there about cameras. This was updated this month:
Consumer Reports explains the Matter smart home standard from Amazon, Apple, Google, Samsung, and others. Matter is finally here and promises to help smart devices work together.
Which Types of Smart Home Devices Will Work With Matter?
At launch, Matter will support lighting products (plugs, lightbulbs , switches, etc.), door locks , thermostats and HVAC controllers, blinds and shades, home security sensors (such as door and window sensors, motion sensors, and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors ), garage door controllers, wireless access points and bridges, and televisions and streaming video players .
Future iterations of Matter are expected to add support for home appliances, robotic vacuums , and energy management products (such as solar panels, electric vehicle chargers, and home battery packs). According to Chris LaPré, the CSA’s head of technology, security cameras are likely to be included in a future version, thanks to camera manufacturers like Arlo, Eve, TP-Link, and Wyze joining the CSA, but no formal effort has started yet.
