Today, Amazon is offering customers the opportunity to acquire the ecobee SmartCamera with HomeKit Secure Video support for a shipping fee of $79.99. This smart camera, which typically retails for $100, is now experiencing a solid 20% price reduction, marking the lowest price we’ve seen. Although we noticed this price drop to $70 during the 2023 holiday season, today’s deal is on par with both the 2024 Prime Day sale events and stands as the lowest price in nearly a year. While some customers expressed disappointment when the ecobee Smart Video Doorbell Camera was released without full HomeKit Secure Video support, the SmartCamera available today does include this feature. For details on how to set this up, you can find information here – HomeKit Secure Video “requires a HomeKit Hub iOS device running iOS 13.2 or later and a supported iCloud storage plan to store video clips.”

On top of that, the ecobee SmartCamera provides a robust and visually appealing solution, with the capability to deliver 1080p HD video to your smart devices around the clock, as well as a 180-degree field of view and smoke alarm notifications – “get an alert on your phone if SmartCamera detects sound from your smoke detector.” Additionally, with HomeKit Secure Video support, there’s an option to automatically disable the SmartCamera when family members arrive, utilizing "on-device processing and end-to-end encryption." For a comprehensive overview, check out our hands-on review here.
