The device is described as designed for tight wireless integration with other Apple products and expected to leverage Siri and Apple Intelligence. A Face ID-equipped video doorbell has also been rumored; it could recognize residents and wirelessly unlock a compatible deadbolt. Reports suggest the doorbell may lag behind the primary security camera in development. Timing and StatusEarly reports pointed toward 2026 availability, with some speculation around a spring window or a March 2026 “Apple Experience” event. Apple already supports a limited selection of third-party HomeKit Secure Video cameras (from brands such as Eve, Aqara, Logitech, and others).
