From Friday 13 November you can order the first accessories in the Apple Home Collection, with deliveries starting in December, MacRumors reports. Apple builds the line of smart cameras, a video doorbell, a lock and thermostats together with LG and Schneider Electric, and every device uses Thread and the Home app. Apple announced the collection in mid-October, when we covered its partnership with LG and Schneider. For now, sales are limited to the United States, Canada and, in part, the United Kingdom. Below you’ll find what each device costs and what it does.

Apple Home Collection prices and devices

LG makes most of the line, while Schneider Electric adds a thermostat and a room sensor under the Schneider Home name. Every camera records up to 2.5K video and recognises people, familiar faces, pets, vehicles and packages. The cameras also have built-in storage, so they keep recording if your Wi-Fi drops. Apple only lists US and UK prices; there is no euro pricing.

  • LG Video Doorbell Wired ($249.95 / £229.95): wired doorbell with two cameras, a 2.5K camera at the front and a full HD camera at the bottom, plus a built-in spotlight. The chime plays through HomeView, HomePod and HomePod mini.
  • LG Floodlight Cam (Plug-In) ($399.95 / £349.95): outdoor camera with adaptive dual floodlights that switch on automatically when motion is detected, plus low-light colour night vision.
  • LG Outdoor Cam Plug-In ($299.95 / £279.95): adjustable outdoor camera with colour night vision that you install yourself.
  • LG Indoor Cam Plug-In ($199.95 / £179.95): indoor camera that automatically tilts away and stops monitoring as soon as the first household member returns home. You can also tilt it by hand or in the Home app.
  • LG Smart Deadbolt Lock ($349.95, US and Canada only): Ultra Wideband lock that unlocks the door as you approach with a home key on your iPhone or Apple Watch. It also offers tap to unlock, a PIN pad, a hidden backup key, Matter and Aliro, and it works locally, so it keeps working without internet.
  • LG Smart Thermostat and Schneider Home Smart Thermostat ($199.95 each, US and Canada only): Matter thermostats with on-device wire detection and Adaptive Temperature.
  • LG Temperature Sensor and Schneider Home Room Sensor ($39.95 each): Matter sensors for temperature and humidity.

What you need for the cameras and the lock

You pair each accessory over NFC using an iPhone running the latest software. For automations and the camera features you need a home hub, such as HomeView, a HomePod or an Apple TV 4K. Camera footage is processed locally on that hub or in Private Cloud Compute. With iCloud+ it is stored encrypted in iCloud for ten days: the 50GB plan covers one camera, 200GB up to five and 2TB an unlimited number. Video summaries and natural-language search of your footage also require an iPhone or iPad with Apple Intelligence.

Is the Apple Home Collection coming to Europe?

Not for now. The UK only gets the four LG cameras; the lock, thermostats and sensors are limited to the US and Canada. Apple also says Apple HomeView is not for sale in the European Union because Siri AI is not yet available in iOS there, and that it is working with the EU to find a path forward. Even if you import them, the US devices aren’t a simple fit: the lock is an American-style deadbolt, the thermostats expect a US C-wire (a separate C-Wire Power Adapter costs $24.95), and the Clean Energy Guidance feature only works in the US.

In the US and UK you can order the Apple Home Collection from apple.com, the Apple Store app and Apple Store locations. The first deliveries start in December, but Apple says some accessories won’t follow until early 2027, without naming which ones in its announcement. In the US, professional installation by ADT is also available through Apple Retail for an extra charge.
