Apple Planning AI Home Security Camera and Service for 2027
Apple could release a home security system and service in 2027, according to Bloomberg . The company is designing a privacy-forward home security camera that will use AI to monitor the surrounding environment instead of actual video footage. It will apparently work with a new home security and monitoring service, but no additional detail on the service is included. Apple is planning to release a home hub for controlling smart home devices before the end of the year, and rumors have previously suggested there's a camera in the works to go along with it. Early rumors indicated it would be a wireless camera with Siri integration and a connection to the home hub that's in development. Apple already has HomeKit Secure Video , an Apple Home feature for third-party cameras. HomeKit Secure Video features end-to-end encryption and uses iCloud to securely stream and store video from compatible HomeKit cameras. In iOS 27 , Apple is upgrading its HomeKit camera features . The Home app is able to generate written summaries for motion alerts, plus it can surface highlights and group footage from different cameras together. The new features require a 2TB or higher iCloud+ plan, while HomeKit Secure Video requires a 50GB plan or better. It's possible a future home security monitoring service could also be tied to iCloud+ and Apple's existing HomeKit Secure Video features.
