Today, Amazon is offering customers the opportunity to purchase the ecobee SmartCamera, equipped with HomeKit Secure Video support, for a shipping price of $79.99. This smart camera typically retails for $100, marking a significant 20% price reduction to the lowest available rate. Although we previously saw this device drop to $70 during the 2023 holiday season, today’s deal is comparable to both 2024 Prime Day sale events and represents the lowest price in nearly a year. While some users may have been disappointed with the ecobee Smart Video Doorbell Camera's lack of full HomeKit Secure Video support, the SmartCamera on offer today provides that capability. For setup instructions, you can refer to this link – 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.”

Beyond that, the ecobee SmartCamera presents a powerful, aesthetically pleasing solution that delivers 1080p HD video to your smart devices around the clock, coupled with a 180-degree field of view and features allowing it to detect sounds from smoke alarms—“receive an alert on your phone if SmartCamera detects sound from your smoke detector.” In addition to HomeKit Secure Video support, there is even an option to automatically deactivate the SmartCamera upon the arrival of family members, utilizing “on-device processing and end-to-end encryption.” For a complete review, check out our hands-on overview here.
