Apple is apparently focusing on smart home devices this month, with the long-rumoured “HomePad” supposedly launching in a couple of weeks alongside a refreshed HomePod mini and a new Apple TV 4K Box. Now, a new leak has claimed that another smart home product is in the works and could debut after the aforementioned devices. This new product is a camera, but one that doesn’t quite work the way one would expect.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the device in question is codenamed J490 and will serve as a companion to the yet-to-be-released smart home hub. Unlike conventional security cameras, this one supposedly won’t record video footage.
