  • Apple is reportedly developing an AI-based home security camera and monitoring service, with a possible release in 2027.
  • The camera is expected to focus on privacy by analyzing its surroundings rather than recording actual video, and could integrate with Siri and an Apple smart-home hub.
  • Apple has also expanded HomeKit camera features in iOS 27, including written motion-alert summaries and highlights, though some features require larger iCloud+ plans.

Apple is reportedly developing an artificial intelligence-based home security system and service, with a possible launch in 2027. The system would include a privacy-focused camera designed to analyze its surroundings without recording actual video.

MacRumors reported, citing Bloomberg, that Apple is working on the system and service, although the company has not released detailed information. Apple plans to launch a home hub for controlling smart-home devices before the end of 2026, and earlier reports suggested that a wireless camera could complement it.

The rumored camera could include Siri integration and connect to the smart-home hub. Apple already offers HomeKit Secure Video, which supports compatible third-party cameras, uses end-to-end encryption and streams and stores video securely through iCloud.

Apple has expanded HomeKit camera capabilities in iOS 27. The Home app can now generate written summaries for motion alerts, show highlights and group recordings from multiple cameras. Using those new features requires an iCloud+ plan with at least 2 terabytes of storage, while HomeKit Secure Video requires a plan of at least 50 gigabytes.
