Apple Home Collection Launches With LG Cameras, Doorbell

The first accessories in Apple’s new Home Collection are now on sale. Starting Friday, November 13, shoppers can order the LG Indoor Cam ($199.95), the LG Outdoor Cam ($299.95), and the LG Video Doorbell ($249.95) — the opening trio of a smart home accessory line Apple is building with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric. Deliveries are set to begin in December.

The launch lands on the same day Apple’s $299 HomeView smart display reaches stores, and it marks the company’s most direct move yet into the smart home hardware it used to leave entirely to third parties.

What’s on sale now

All three launch products are cameras or doorbells designed to work with HomeView and Apple Home:

• LG Indoor Cam — $199.95. Apple’s indoor camera option for keeping an eye on rooms, pets, and entryways from the Home app.
• LG Outdoor Cam — $299.95. The weather-ready outdoor camera, and the priciest of the three launch products.
• LG Video Doorbell — $249.95. A video doorbell that rounds out the front-door setup alongside the cameras.

The three products are available to order from Apple now. The rest of the Home Collection — additional accessories from LG and Schneider Electric, including smart thermostats and a smart lock — is expected to follow by early 2027.

Built for HomeView and Apple Home

Apple introduced the Home Collection at its “Welcome home” event on October 13, alongside the HomeView display and the HomePod mini 2. The pitch is a tightly integrated accessory family rather than another shelf of third-party gadgets: the devices are made to slot straight into Apple Home and to be controlled from HomeView, which acts as the household’s hub for HomeKit and Matter accessories.

HomeView itself went on sale the same day as the accessories. The 7-inch smart display, priced at $299, is Apple’s first dedicated smart home screen, running a rebuilt Siri that Apple calls Siri AI. It can recognize up to six people by face, giving each a personalized home screen, and it doubles as the control center for lights, locks, thermostats, blinds, and cameras around the house.

The fourth-generation Apple TV 4K also launched on November 13 for $299, adding Siri AI, the A19 chip, and an updated Siri Remote with Find My. Together, the three launches give Apple its broadest home lineup in years — a display, a TV box, a speaker, and now its own branded cameras and doorbell.

What the pricing says about Apple’s ambitions

At $199.95 to $299.95, the first Home Collection products sit firmly at the premium end of the camera market. Apple is clearly betting that buyers will pay more for hardware that is designed around its ecosystem — native HomeKit Secure Video support, on-device processing, and the privacy story Apple has been telling around HomeView, where camera and microphone data is kept away from the operating system, apps, and Apple itself by an isolated hardware design Apple calls Secure Exclaves.

The accessories are sold through Apple’s own channels — the Apple Store online, the Apple Store app, and Apple Store locations in the launch markets — which is itself a statement. Unlike most HomeKit gear, which reaches buyers through Amazon, Best Buy, or the manufacturer’s own store, the Home Collection is presented as Apple hardware, alongside the iPhone and the Mac. For shoppers, that means Apple’s return policy and support apply, and the products are set up to be discovered by people who walk in for a phone and walk out with a doorbell.

The pricing is no accident either. With deliveries beginning in December, the accessories are positioned as holiday-season purchases for households that just bought — or are about to buy — a HomeView. A camera that arrives the same month as the display it is meant to pair with is an easy add-on sale.

There are limits to the rollout. HomeView is not on sale in the European Union, where Siri AI is currently unavailable in iOS, and Apple says it is working with regulators there to find a path forward. The accessories are launching in the same eight markets as HomeView: Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, the UK, and the United States. Canadian French support for HomeView is promised in a future software update, with no date given.

What to watch next

The bigger test for the Home Collection comes in early 2027, when the rest of the line arrives. Thermostats and a smart lock from Schneider Electric will show whether Apple intends this to be a full home system or a camera-first experiment. A thermostat, in particular, would put Apple in direct competition with established players like ecobee and Google Nest on their home turf — and would test whether the company’s ecosystem pitch is strong enough to win over buyers who already have a working setup.

For now, the message is simple: Apple is no longer content to let other companies build the cameras and doorbells for its smart home. With HomeView on shelves and the first Home Collection accessories on sale, the company finally has its own hardware at the front door — and the prices to match.
