Apple's home security camera remains in development separately from the LG-made accessories reported yesterday, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has clarified. In a follow-up post on X, Gurman said the security cameras co-developed with LG are 'completely separate' from Apple's privacy-centric home camera and sensor, which he says is still coming next year. As reported previously, Apple's device will not record video, using AI instead to analyze the home environment and detect which room a person is in.
Bloomberg first reported a 2027 home security system and service in September. The LG-branded lineup spans a video doorbell, deadbolt lock, thermostat and indoor and outdoor cameras, and is not expected for at least a few more months. Apple's own device focuses on privacy, utilizing AI to analyze the home environment rather than recording video.
This distinguishes it from the broader LG-branded smart home accessories expected later. Mark Gurman's clarification clears up previous confusion regarding the two distinct product lines.
