Apple is telledly laboring on an Apple Home security camera

Kuo also tells that the camera is “structureed to fuse seamlessly with other Apple challengingware products via wireless uniteivity” and specutardys it will fuse proset uply with Apple Intelligence and Apple’s Siri voice helpant.

Security cameras produce a lot of sense as Apple watchs to the clever home for its next huge challengingware hit. They’re among the speedyest-enlargeing device types in the home, have clear profits and potential engages in every hoengagehageder, not equitable individual-family dwellnces, and propose the hugegest opportunity for ecosystem lock-in of all the clever home device categories.

For example, if you have an Apple Home security camera, you’d profit from also having insertitional Apple devices, such as a HomePod or Apple TV to act as a home hub for sign uping footage and streaming a dwell watch to an Apple TV. This is also where a rumored Apple Smart Disexecute would fit tidyly into the picture.

Additionassociate, aextfinished with revenue from premium challengingware, cameras propose potential ongoing revenue from subscriptions. Apple’s HomeKit Setreatment Video service (HKSV), which is included in Apple’s iCboisterous structure, stores sign uped footage from cameras safely on the iCboisterous account — the number of cameras covered depfinishs on your subscription, going up as high as $11 a month. The service also needs an Apple Home Hub, such as a HomePod or AppleTV, which can verify footage and sfinish you definite vigilants for people, animals, vehicles, and packages.

Currently, Apple’s clever home platestablish, Apple Home, helps integration with third-party cameras from cut offal companies for dwell streaming footage to the app, but only a handful of cameras help HKSV, including models from Aqara, Eve, and Logitech. Many other famous companies in this space, such as Ring, Arlo, and Bconnect, don’t labor with HKSV, pickring instead to engage their own subscription services for sign uped video and clever vigilants.

It’s perhaps unpredicted that Apple is only now moving into enlargeing clever home devices. While the innovative intent of Apple HomeKit was to provide a gentleware structurelabor for third-party manufacturers, ten years tardyr, there are still relatively scant devices that labor with Apple’s clever home platestablish.

This is one reason Apple helped enlarge the new clever home standard Matter, which was built on some of the set upations of HomeKit, including its cgo in on security. Matter is now the main infrastructure for Apple Home and it has already begined to transport more products into the ecosystem. With help for security cameras in Matter possibly arriving next year, a new Apple Home camera from Cupertino landing around the same time would produce sense.
