Four LG cameras launching for Apple’s smart-home platform have received UL Solutions’ Diamond rating, adding independent device-level security verification to Apple’s existing privacy claims.
LG’s four upcoming Home Collection cameras for Apple’s smart-home platform are being marketed with UL Solutions’ highest consumer IoT security score, adding an independent credential to a product line already tied to Apple’s privacy claims. Apple’s store listings say each model has reached Diamond in UL Solutions’ IoT Security Rating, with prices running from $199.95 to $399.95 in the US and availability starting in December. UL Solutions’ public verification database confirms that all four cameras carry the Diamond designation.
The verification covers LG’s Video Doorbell Wired, Floodlight Cam, Outdoor Cam Plug-In and Indoor Cam Plug-In. UL lists each device under a single verification entry for LG Electronics, and the company notes that the listing applies to regional and colour variants of the same hardware. The verification period is shown as running from 18 June 2026 to 17 June 2027. Apple’s listings do not extend that rating to other LG smart-home products in the same collection, including the Smart Deadbolt Lock, Smart Thermostat and Temperature Sensor.
UL Solutions describes its IoT Security Rating as a five-tier system, ranging from Bronze to Diamond, that measures whether manufacturers have built specific security capabilities into connected devices. According to UL’s guide, the Diamond tier is the most demanding level and includes malicious software modification detection, protection against repeated illegitimate access attempts and anonymisation of user data. The tier below, Platinum, focuses on known-threat testing, malware protection and preventing users from remaining signed in indefinitely.
The company also says the scheme is meant to assess products against common attack methods and known IoT vulnerabilities, using a methodology called UL MCV 1376. UL stresses, however, that the verification is not a guarantee that a device cannot be compromised. It says the assessment reflects the samples tested at the time of analysis and that users can check whether a mark remains active or has expired. In Apple’s case, the UL rating sits alongside a separate privacy claim: Apple says camera footage and personal data in the Home app are end-to-end encrypted and inaccessible to LG Electronics, Schneider Electric or Apple itself. Taken together, the two claims suggest both device-level security scrutiny and platform-level protection for data, though they address different layers of the smart-home experience.
