HomeView can act as a screen for checking who’s at the door or keeping an eye on cameras around the house. It brings compatible Apple Home security cameras together on a shared display without requiring you to open the Home app on your iPhone each time.
Make sure each compatible camera has been added to your Apple Home household, then open Home on HomeView to see the cameras available to you. You can select the camera feed you want to view, use touch controls or ask Siri for supported camera requests. Apple confirms these functions on its HomeView product page.
For a dashboard-style view, choose HomeView’s Home Camera face. Apple says it can livestream up to nine video feeds simultaneously, a useful option for households with multiple cameras. The Home Modular face is a different option, emphasizing accessories and everyday controls rather than a grid of video feeds.
Camera capabilities, recording and notification availability depend on your accessories, Home setup and applicable iCloud+ services. For context, read our coverage of new Apple Home-compatible cameras and our complete Apple HomeView guide.
