According to Appleinsider, Apple's first smart home hub, HomeView, can be used as a HomeKit security camera. The leaker, pdfu, discovered relevant settings in the localized files of HomeView Software 27.2, which include options to turn it off, detect activity, stream video in real-time, and stream video while allowing recording. However, Apple is still testing this feature, so it is unlikely to be launched in the short term.
IT News on November 2nd: According to a report by technology media Appleinsider yesterday, Apple's first smart home hub HomeView can also be used as a HomeKit security camera to provide safety protection for users' homes.
According to whistleblower pdfu, who discovered it in the localization files of HomeView Software version 27.2, the camera on the HomeView screen can be used to monitor the home environment. Once this feature is enabled, family members can view real-time footage or recordings from the camera.
At the same time, HomeView allows for multiple camera monitoring states to be selected. For more details about IT, please refer to the following:
- Off: HomeView will not detect motion, record videos, nor provide live video streaming.
- Detection Activity: The device will detect movement and send reminders to the user, but it will not record videos, nor is video live streaming through the camera allowed.
- Video live streaming: Family members can view the real-time footage from the camera, but no recording will be taken.
- Video live streaming with recording allowed: Both video live streaming and automatic recording functions are enabled simultaneously. Family members can start real-time video at any time, as well as view previously recorded videos.
Users can also set the timing for turning the camera on and off according to their own circumstances. For example, they can configure the camera to stop recording when there are people at home, and only turn on the live streaming or recording function when they go out. However, it should be noted that Apple is still in the testing phase of these features, so the likelihood of them being launched immediately is not high.

Enterprises should not have to choose between traditional banks and cryptocurrenciesThe article argues that a more practical model is hybrid finance: integrating bank accounts, payment networks, cryptographic services, and cards into the same operational framework. The author points out that traditional banks are still responsible for handling salaries, taxes, and transactions with suppliers, while crypto assets offer different capabilities in cross-border transfers, digital settlements, and liquidity transfers, but both come with their own set of risks.
