Monitor cameras and run scenes in the Apple Home tab on Apple TV 4K

The Apple Home tab appears if you’ve set up Apple Home- or Matter-compatible security cameras or created a scene in the Home app on an iPhone, iPad or Mac (with macOS Catalina or later) where you’re signed in with the same Apple Account.

Monitor and control Apple Home cameras

You can view multiple cameras at the same time, control an accessory attached to the room you’re viewing, or monitor your live video while watching something else in Picture in Picture mode.

  1. Press and hold the TV button on your Apple TV 4K remote to open Control Centre, then navigate to the Apple Home tab.

  2. Swipe down to highlight your cameras, then do one of the following:

    • Select All Cameras to see a full-screen grid view of all your cameras, then select one.

    • Navigate left or right to a camera, then select it.

    Siri: Press and hold the Siri/Search button on your remote, then say “Show me” followed by the name of the camera in the Home app. For example, say “Show me the front garden camera”.

  3. Do any of the following:

    • Control an accessory attached to the room you’re currently viewing: Select the Accessory button, then select an accessory to turn it on or off.

    • View live video from multiple cameras at the same time: Select the Grid View button. Select a camera for a full-screen view.

    • View live video from a camera in Picture in Picture mode: Select the Picture in Picture button. See Turn on Picture in Picture viewing.

Tip: You can view video from supported security cameras and receive a notification when a supported doorbell camera detects someone at your door. You get a personal notification if Apple Home recognises the person from your Photos library.

To learn more about setting up cameras in the Home app, see the iPhone User Guide.

Run an Apple Home scene from Apple TV 4K

Scenes let you control multiple accessories in your home. For example, you can create a Watching TV scene that dims the lights and sets the temperature.

  1. Press and hold the TV button on your Apple TV 4K remote to open Control Centre, then navigate to the Apple Home tab.

  2. Swipe down, then select the scene for a secure HomeKit-compatible product such as a door lock, light, motorised door or window, security system or garage door.

To learn more about creating scenes in the Home app, see the iPhone User Guide.
