Apple today announced that select Apple Home Collection accessories will be available to order starting Friday, November 13, with availability beginning in December. Introduced alongside Apple's new HomeView smart home hub last month, the Apple Home Collection is a new lineup of smart home accessories that Apple designed in collaboration with LG and Schneider Electric. There are indoor and outdoor cameras, thermostats, temperature sensors, a video doorbell, and a door lock. All of the Apple Home Collection accessories work with the HomeView: LG Video Doorbell ($249.95) - The Video Doorbell has dual cameras that capture views of visitors and packages. The front camera has a 2.5K resolution and the bottom camera is full HD resolution. It has a built-in spotlight and a chime that plays through HomeView, HomePod, or HomePod mini.
LG Outdoor Cam ($299.95) - The Outdoor Cam has low-light color night vision and can be angled in multiple positions.
LG Indoor Cam ($199.95) - The Indoor Cam has a privacy-preserving feature that allows it to tilt up when people are in the home so it's not recording, and down when people leave for keeping an eye on the home. The tilt function works based on geofencing, but can also be controlled in the Home app or manually.
LG Floodlight Cam ($399.95) - The Floodlight Cam has dual floodlights that activate when motion is detected and low-light color night vision.
