## Key points

- HomeView code hints at security camera functions.
- Features reportedly include motion detection, streaming and recording.
- Apple has not confirmed plans to add them.

## Summary

Code discovered in HomeView version 27.2 suggests Apple may add security camera features to its smart home hub. The possibility matters because HomeView could combine home control with monitoring, while the described functions put privacy protections at the centre.

The code reportedly refers to motion detection, live streaming and recording through HomeKit Secure Video. Feeds would be limited to household members, with a light and sound when someone views the camera or recording begins, and notifications when settings change. Detection, streaming and recording could be customised for when residents are home, away or asleep; Apple has not confirmed the features or said when they might arrive.
