Amazon Offers Ecobee SmartCamera with HomeKit Support for $79.99
Amazon drops the price of ecobee SmartCamera with HomeKit Secure Video to $79.99, making it the best deal in nearly a year.
Amazon has reduced the price of the ecobee SmartCamera with HomeKit Secure Video support to $79.99, marking a 20% drop from its usual $100 price tag. Although the camera was available for $70 during the end-of-year holiday sales in 2023, this is the best deal since then and matches Amazon’s 2024 Prime Day pricing.
The ecobee SmartCamera stands out for its full HomeKit Secure Video integration, something that was missing in ecobee’s earlier Smart Video Doorbell Camera release. For those interested in utilizing this feature, a HomeKit Hub iOS device running iOS 13.2 or later is required, along with an iCloud storage plan to store video clips.
In addition to its HomeKit Secure Video capabilities, the SmartCamera offers impressive specs, including continuous 1080p HD video streaming and a wide 180-degree field of view. The device also incorporates smoke alarm detection, which can send alerts to a user’s phone if it detects the sound of an alarm. Users can further enhance privacy with features like automatic shutoff when family members are home, powered by on-device processing and end-to-end encryption.
With these features, the ecobee SmartCamera provides a comprehensive solution for home security, bringing clarity, privacy, and convenience to smart home setups.
