Apple's upcoming HomeView may surprise users by behaving like a security camera, despite not being one specifically designed for security. At their October smart home event, Apple unveiled the HomeView alongside additional smart home accessories, including the LG Video Doorbell and LG security cameras and sensors. However, a serial leaker and code sleuth named pdfu, in a Reddit post, suggests Apple could still have a hidden home security capability within the HomeView.
While the HomeView isn't officially classified as a security camera, hidden settings within HomeView Software 27.2 reveal it can indeed function as a HomeKit Security Camera. Once enabled, the feature would utilize the display's camera to monitor the surrounding area. The presence of this feature in HomeView Software 27.2 signals that Apple is currently testing it. However, this does not confirm the feature will be made available to all users in the near future.
