In addition to deals on its Siri-equipped smart thermostat, Amazon now also offers the ecobee SmartCamera with HomeKit Secure Video support. $79.99 ready to shipNormally $100, that’s 20% off and the lowest price we can find. This deal matches both the official Prime Day sale price this year and the rest of the deals we’ve tracked in 2024. It also coincides with an offer on the brand’s ecobee Smart Video Doorbell Camera, which launched in late 2023 and is now down from $160 to $129.99 ready to ship – this deal is $10 less than this year’s Prime Day deal.
While the ecobee Smart Video Doorbell Camera unfortunately does not fully support HomeKit Secure Video, the SmartCamera for sale here today can be configured to do so with voice control – ecobee’s instructions for setting it up can be found here. HomeKit Secure Video “requires a HomeKit Hub iOS device running iOS 13.2 or later and a supported iCloud storage plan to save video clips.”
In addition to HomeKit functionality, the ecobee SmartCamera streams 1080p HD video to your phone day and night as expected and has a 180-degree field of view and even a smoke detector feature – “Receive a notification on your phone when the SmartCamera detects a sound from your smoke detector.”
HomeKit Secure Video support also includes the ability to automatically turn off the SmartCamera when family members arrive, with “on-device processing and end-to-end encryption.”
You can get a complete overview of its performance in our practical test here.
Then check out the deal we’re tracking on the brand’s Siri Smart Thermostat Premium with integrated display before heading to our smart home hub for the rest of this week’s top deals.
Functions of the ecobee SmartCamera:
Stream ultra-clear 1080p HD video to your phone continuously, day or night. Feel like you’re home even when you’re not there. SmartCamera detects when a person is present and pans across its 180º field of view to keep them in the center of the frame. Protect your whole family. Receive a notification on your phone when SmartCamera detects noise from your smoke detector. SmartCamera can automatically shut off when family members arrive and features on-device processing and end-to-end encryption.
