HomeKit Secure Video gains generated video descriptions in iOS 27, giving users a faster way to understand what happened across a series of security-camera recordings.
Apple Intelligence can summarize activity captured in supported footage so you can get an idea of what occurred before deciding whether you need to watch each individual clip.
The capability depends on compatible HomeKit Secure Video hardware and eligible Apple services. Availability and plan requirements can vary.
How to view generated HomeKit Secure Video descriptions in iOS 27
- Open the Home app on your iPhone.
- Select a compatible HomeKit Secure Video camera.
- Open the camera’s recorded activity.
- Navigate to a sequence of clips that includes generated descriptions.
- Read the Apple Intelligence-generated summary of the recorded activity.
- Open any individual clip if you want to verify the event or see more detail.
Generated descriptions are intended to make footage easier to review, but important security events should still be checked against the original recording where possible.
