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.
Key points
- Apple HomeView gaining HomeKit Secure Video camera capability through 12MP Center Stage camera
- Feature includes privacy safeguards: screen indicator, audible chime, change notifications
- Leverages local processing and iCloud Plus rather than dedicated security subscription
