Amazon is now offering the ecobee Smart Video Doorbell with HomeKit for sale for the third time. It drops to $139.99 shipped from its usual $160 price tag to match the second-best price yet. This matches our Black Friday entry from November and is within $20 of the all-time low before. Keep reading to find out more, or just head over to our hands-on review where we break down the whole experience. ecobee just launched its new Smart Video Doorbell as one of the first releases outside of the usual connected thermostats. It brings all kinds of smart surveillance technology to your porch for monitoring package deliveries all year round thanks to 1080p HDR recording with a 175-degree field of view. It can also be connected to your home's existing doorbell wiring. There's HomeKit support as standard, as well as Alexa integration, with advanced motion alerts that double down on the smart tech to alert you when someone is at the door, a package has been delivered and more. Although my favorite part has to be that you can use your existing ecobee SmartThermostat as a doorbell controller. So when someone rings the doorbell or a package is delivered, it turns into a viewfinder to see who is at the door. Sure, you can use your iPhone, but there's nothing more convenient than being able to check the display built into your wall. If you'd rather use a different ecosystem to protect the front door, be sure to check out the price cut we just tracked on Amazon's latest Ring Battery Doorbell Plus. This helps secure the porch from package pirates and the like, and now drops to $120, down from the usual rate of $180.

ecobee Smart Video Doorbell Camera Features: Full HD 1080p HDR with two-way calling to answer your door and talk live to your guests anywhere via your smartphone, tablet or ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium. Works with Apple HomeKit and Alexa. Advanced radar authentication, motion, person and package detection* and activity zones so you only receive alerts about who or what is at your door.
