Apple HomeView is getting ready to teach Google’s Pixel Tablet a home security lesson

Leaked code in HomeView Software 27.2 reveals Apple may add full security camera functionality to its upcoming smart display, enabling the built-in 12MP Center Stage camera to work as a HomeKit Secure Video device. The feature would include four operating states and three presence modes, with privacy protections such as on-screen notifications, audible alerts during streaming or recording, and alerts if settings change. Apple's implementation may rely on local on-device processing and iCloud Plus subscription rather than requiring a separate security service.
