Philips Hue released a new firmware update (version 1.2.32.976110) for its Secure cameras, offering improvements to its setup process, video uploads, battery performance, and more.

The Philips Hue app now displays more accurate Wi-Fi router names, while the passive infrared sensor cooldown settings are more user-friendly. The system will also no longer upload very short clips, and the general upload success rate is improved, too.

Philips Hue also enhanced the battery performance of battery-powered cameras like the Secure Battery. It cuts "unnecessary" wakeups, optimizes motion snooze settings, fixes unreachable devices and sleep mode issues, and improves the precision of automatic switching between day and night modes.

Philips Hue is giving its popular GU10 bulbs a performance boost. The new generation offers a significant upgrade in brightness, reaching 400 lumens compared to the previous 350 lumens. This translates to a more noticeable light output for your spotlights and track lighting. The upgrade doesn't stop there. The new GU10 bulbs boast a longer lifespan of 25,000 hours and a 50% reduction in standby power consumption, making them both more durable and eco-friendly. The GU10 retails for $134.99 in Canada for a two-pack.

The enhanced GU10 bulbs join a wave of exciting new Philips Hue products. They've unveiled the Twilight sunrise lamp to improve sleep, decorative Lightguide bulbs for a touch of style, the Datura ceiling light for versatile illumination, and the budget-friendly Solo light strip for affordable lighting solutions. The company also updated its Philips Hue Secure system.
