Apple Home Collection brings smart doorbells, cameras, and thermostats to its ecosystem

Apple’s new lineup of smart home accessories were designed in collaboration with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric.

Apple is dipping further into the smart home market with a new series of devices all designed to be placed in and around your residence. It’s called the Apple Home Collection and it includes cameras, thermostats, doorbells and a door lock.

Details about the Apple Home Collection were shared in a Newsroom post. The devices can be set up by tapping an iPhone onto them. From there, they can all be managed through the Apple Home app. The cameras allow users to monitor the interior and exterior of their homes in 2.5K resolution. The cameras will recognize familiar faces and pets, and all footage will be stored in the user’s iCloud. The four camera products are the Indoor Cam, Outdoor Cam, Floodlight Cam, and Video Doorbell. 

The Smart Deadbolt Lock can sense when a user with a home key on their iPhone or Apple Watch is approaching and will unlock as they get near. The two new thermostats—one from LG and the other from Schneider Electric—will dynamically adjust the temperature if they detect someone in the home. 

All of the products featured in Apple’s new lineup of home accessories are compatible with Apple HomeView, which was also announced today. The company also revealed a new version of the Apple TV, with AI integration.
