ICYMI: Apple is charging up to $60 a month for Apple Intelligence features on HomeKit cameras.

You’ll have to pay at least $9.99 a month for Apple Home’s new AI-powered features, including video summaries, for just one camera. If you want access on up to five cameras, it’s $59.99 (included in the 12TB iCloud Plus plan). Is this a sign of more subscription fees on the horizon for Apple’s smart home?

Apple Intelligence can provide written summaries of activity captured by your HomeKit Secure Video-compatible cameras. But it will cost you.
