# Apple Home Collection cameras open for pre-order on 13 November

*The LG Indoor Cam, Outdoor Cam and Video Doorbell can reportedly be ordered from Friday; Apple has not listed the first batch.*

**Key points**

- Pre-orders for Apple's Home Collection open 13 November with the LG Indoor Cam, Outdoor Cam and Video Doorbell.
- The accessories work with the HomeView smart home hub without needing third-party accounts.
- The full Home Collection, including the deadbolt lock and thermostats, ships in early 2027.

Pre-orders for the first Apple Home Collection accessories open on Friday 13 November, the same day HomeView goes on sale, according to MacRumors, 9to5Mac and AppleInsider. AppleInsider says the LG Indoor Cam, Outdoor Cam and Video Doorbell lead the first batch; the other two outlets say only “select accessories” and Apple has not published a list.

### Background

- Apple announced the Home Collection with LG and Schneider Electric on 13 October, with cameras and the doorbell shipping from December.
- UK prices from Apple: Indoor Cam £179.95, Outdoor Cam £279.95, Video Doorbell £229.95, Floodlight Cam £349.95 (VAT included).
- The lock, thermostats and sensors are limited to the US and Canada, with “select accessories” arriving in early 2027.
- Apple has not announced the range for the EU.

The cameras need a home hub such as HomeView, a HomePod or an Apple TV 4K, and are set up in the Home app without a separate account. The reports add that the cameras keep recording to onboard storage if the internet drops.

## What is still unclear

The reports only describe US pre-orders. Apple has not confirmed which products are orderable on Friday, whether UK buyers can order the same day, or exact shipping dates beyond “December”. Our original report on the Home Collection has Apple’s full UK and US pricing.
