Three Apple Home Collection products are available to preorder, with deliveries estimated for December 11–17. The LG Outdoor Cam, Indoor Cam and Video Doorbell are listed in Apple’s online store; other announced cameras, locks and thermostats do not yet have preorder options or shipping dates.
The Outdoor Cam is priced at $299.95, the Indoor Cam at $199.95 and the Video Doorbell at $249.95. Apple announced the collection a month ago, as part of a stronger push into smart-home products led by its Siri AI-powered HomeView smart display, which also became available today.
The remaining listed products are the $399.95 LG Floodlight Cam, $349.95 LG Smart Deadbolt Lock, $199.95 LG Smart Thermostat, $199.95 Schneider Home Smart Thermostat and $39.95 Schneider Home Room Sensor. None is available for preorder, and Apple has not provided an estimated shipping date for them.
Apple co-developed the collection with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric. The devices do not offer exclusive features or functionality, but Apple says the partnership has simplified setup: users can tap them with an iPhone to get them running. The products also use Thread to stay connected if internet or Wi-Fi access is lost, and can automatically update their network credentials when a wireless network’s settings change.
