Apple Home video doorbell and smart cameras available to order, reports 9to5mac
First accessories go on sale
Apple has introduced the first three items in its Home Collection: one video doorbell and a pair of smart home security cameras. They are available to order now, with estimated delivery in mid-December.
The launch comes alongside two other Apple products, HomeView and a new Apple TV 4K. The collection’s initial accessories are intended for people setting up a smart home or updating an existing one.
Designed for Apple Home
Apple developed the curated accessory range with LG and Schneider. The products are built for setup in the Home app and do not require separate third-party applications or accounts.
The company says the devices support the latest Apple Home technologies. The broader collection is expected to include nearly 10 accessories, spanning smart thermostats, indoor sensors, a smart lock and security cameras.
More products may take time
It remains uncertain whether further collection accessories will become available before 2027. Thermostats, a smart lock and other planned products may not arrive until the new year. For now, the LG-made products offer an early look at the collection. Current delivery estimates place orders about a week before Christmas.
