The indoor camera costs $200 and records 2.5K video; the outdoor model costs $300, or $400 with a floodlight, and includes weather protection. The $250 doorbell has two cameras to show visitors and packages, while all three devices offer night vision, built-in storage and end-to-end encryption. Apple says some other collection products will arrive next month, with the remainder due in early 2027.

Explained simply
Apple Home is Apple’s system for connecting household devices, such as cameras and doorbells, so they can be managed together. The new devices were developed with LG and add security cameras and a video doorbell to that range.
The indoor camera records video in 2.5K resolution, while the outdoor version is weather-protected and can be bought with a floodlight. The doorbell has two cameras to show both visitors and parcels. All three include night vision, built-in storage and end-to-end encryption, which is designed to keep recordings private.
The devices sit within Apple’s wider Home Collection, which is due to include more products over time. They give people using Apple’s connected-home system additional options for monitoring their homes.
