What is the Home app?
The Home app helps you to securely control and automate HomeKit-enabled accessories, such as lights, smart TVs, and thermostats.
When you set up supported security cameras, you can capture video, and receive a notification when a camera recognizes someone at your door or when a package is left at the door.
