Apple has opened orders for three LG security products introduced as part of its Apple Home Collection, extending the platform into indoor monitoring, outdoor surveillance and video door entry. The LG Indoor Cam Plug-In, LG Outdoor Cam Plug-In and LG Video Doorbell Wired are scheduled to arrive in December.
The devices are designed to pair with an iPhone through NFC and operate through Apple’s Home app without requiring a separate LG application or manufacturer account. For dealers and integrators, that places setup, device management and day-to-day control within Apple’s home platform rather than a separate camera ecosystem. Apple opened orders on November 13, alongside the in-store launch of HomeView.
Three camera products make up the initial lineup
The indoor model, the LG Indoor Cam Plug-In, is priced at $199.95 in Essence White. It records 2.5K video and can tilt upward to monitor a room when occupants are away. The camera can then tilt downward for privacy when they return. Users can also control the tilt through the Home app or with a button on the camera’s support column.
The LG Outdoor Cam Plug-In costs $299.95 and is offered in Essence Silver or Essence Graphite. Its listed features include 2.5K video, low-light color night vision with infrared backup and IP65-rated protection against dust and rain. The plug-in design supplies continuous power and avoids the need to recharge a battery.
The LG Video Doorbell Wired is priced at $249.95 in the same two finishes. It combines a 2.5K front-facing camera for visitors with a Full HD lower camera intended to monitor packages. The unit also includes a dimmable spotlight and an adjustable camera head, and draws power from existing 16–24V doorbell wiring.

Storage and subscription requirements
All three products include built-in storage, which Apple says allows recording to continue during a Wi-Fi outage. That local capability is separate from the cloud features available through HomeKit Secure Video. Using HomeKit Secure Video requires a supported iCloud+ plan and a home hub such as HomeView, HomePod or Apple TV 4K. Apple lists 10 days of event-video history for the service.
HomeView and HomePod can provide a chime and announce visitors when the doorbell is pressed. Two-way talk lets occupants communicate with someone at the entrance from Apple devices. Apple also says that AI video summaries and natural-language searches require setup with an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad, as well as an eligible iCloud+ subscription. Those dependencies make the customer’s Apple hardware, home-hub and cloud-service configuration part of the deployment.
- Ordering: orders opened November 13; the three LG products are expected in December.
- Platform: NFC iPhone pairing and management through the Apple Home app without a separate manufacturer account.
- Video history: HomeKit Secure Video requires a supported iCloud+ plan and a home hub.
- Access control: the wired doorbell uses existing 16–24V wiring and supports visitor announcements and two-way talk through Apple devices.
For professional installers, the lineup combines familiar security functions with Apple-managed commissioning and automation. The published requirements also mean that system proposals involving event history, AI summaries or natural-language search will need to account for the applicable iCloud+ subscription and supported Apple hardware. Apple’s published availability places the devices in the order phase now, with delivery expected in December rather than representing products already shipping.
