Pre-orders for some Apple Home Collection devices will open November 13
You can lock in orders for two LG cameras and a video doorbell.
Pre-orders for select accessories from the Apple Home Collection will debut on November 13. Customers can lock in their orders for LG's indoor camera, outdoor camera, and video doorbell. These devices, created in collaboration between Apple and LG, will be the first accessories in the collection to ship, arriving in December. Additional products like thermostats and door locks are expected to follow, with some available next month and the remainder debuting in early 2027.
The LG indoor camera boasts 2.5K video capture capabilities, enabling users to monitor their homes remotely. It features low-light color night vision and infrared (IR) night vision support, and can automatically tilt up and down based on user location. The outdoor camera can recognize faces, pets, and deliveries, and also supports low-light color night vision, IR night vision, and 2.5K video capture.
With IP65-rated protection against rain and dust, both cameras come with built-in storage and 10 days of event video history via iCloud+.
The $250 video doorbell features a dual-camera design, allowing simultaneous viewing of visitors and packages. When someone presses the doorbell, HomeView and HomePod devices will emit a chime, and notifications will be sent to other Apple devices. Apple emphasizes the privacy of these products, highlighting end-to-end encryption and the fact that neither Apple nor LG can access the data. Users can control these devices through their other Apple devices and view live video feeds.
