According to the statement made by LG, the new product series, consisting of indoor and outdoor cameras, video doorbell, smart lock, smart thermostat and temperature sensor, is designed to facilitate daily life in the Apple Home ecosystem, offer a more reliable and uninterrupted connection experience and protect users' privacy.
Reflecting LG's goal of providing experiences that are interconnected and adapt to user needs, the products also represent the company's aim to make daily life easier by reducing the need for manual intervention and providing more intuitive interactions between users and their living spaces.
The two companies went beyond ensuring device compatibility and developed new products together from the initial planning stage. Designed to provide a consistent user experience that facilitates installation and control processes, the accessories work in harmony as well as connecting different devices to each other through a common platform.
The two companies will begin selling the new product series, which supports Apple Home and LG ThinQ applications, in the US and Canada from December 2026. Some accessories in the series will be available in early 2027.
The cameras offer clear images both day and night thanks to up to 2.5K video resolution, color night vision in dim light and wide viewing angle. Smart sensing technologies distinguish people, pets, vehicles and movements, helping to send relevant notifications and reduce unnecessary alerts. While users can exclude designated areas from the camera's imaging and recording scope, the built-in local storage feature gives users control over the storage and review of recorded images.
LG Plug and Play Indoor Camera can view a large part of the room in a single frame thanks to its 160-degree wide viewing angle. Prioritizing privacy, the tilt mechanism and physical controls allow users to manage the camera's monitoring function when they do not need it.
LG Plug and Play Outdoor Camera offers an outdoor viewing experience with color night vision and 2.5K resolution features in dim light, helping users to clearly view the surroundings of their homes day and night.

Unlocking by touching with near field communication (NFC) technology, PIN code and physical key use also offer alternative access options. The built-in door detection feature and instant notifications sent through the application help users follow the status of the door and security-related developments.
LG Smart Thermostat combines energy efficiency with intuitive design, making in-home temperature control flexible and efficient. The adaptive temperature feature in the Home application can automatically adjust the heating and cooling settings according to the user's return home, absence from home and sleep hours.
When used with optional LG Temperature Sensors that can be placed in different rooms, the system monitors temperature and humidity levels in various areas of the house, allowing balanced comfort throughout living spaces. Matter over Thread technology offers low energy consumption and fast response time, while helping to reduce connection delays and dropouts. Thanks to supported energy provider integrations, the thermostat can also shift operating times to periods when energy costs are low.
