Great cameras
I have been using this camera for a while now and it’s been great. Unfortunately I had it sitting on top of a piece of furniture and I accidentally knocked it over. It only fell about a foot but it landed on my hard tile floor just right and the whole front which is glass cracked badly. So I went back on Amazon to purchase a replacement and saw it was on sale so I bought two. I always wanted one in my garage so now I do. Very easy to set up.Great picture quality and the speaker is damn good for as small as it is. I love that when I added these cameras they were automatically added to my Alexa Echo spot. I only complaint is at this date in time ecobee does not make an outdoor camera.I also own the ecobee thermostat and the ecobee doorbell camera, love everything ecobee so far.I also like that you do not need to load a micro sd card into the camera.One note if you want to use more than one camera you will have to pay a yearly subscription of $90That will allow you to add as many cameras as you like. With that yearly subscription you will also be able to have ecobee monitor your home as a security system. I have ordered the ecobee window and door sensors and they will be installed tomorrow. So I feel $90 year for a home security system is pretty inexpensive. Well worth the money in my opinion.

Perfect Indoor Security Camera—Essential for Peace of Mind on Vacation and Everyday Use!
I bought the Ecobee indoor smart camera along with the Ecobee Smart Doorbell Camera before leaving on vacation, and it’s been a fantastic addition to my home security setup. This camera allowed me to monitor multiple entry points in real-time while we were away, giving us total peace of mind.Reliable Monitoring for Every Entry Point:Setting up the camera was quick and straightforward, and I positioned it to cover a key entry point in the house. During our trip, the camera’s live feed and instant alerts let me check in anytime, providing an extra layer of security beyond just the doorbell camera. The clarity of the video feed was excellent, both day and night, and I could rely on it to see exactly what was happening at home.Great for Future Use:Now that we’re back, the camera is still proving invaluable. It seamlessly integrates with the Ecobee ecosystem, meaning I get alerts directly on my thermostat and other devices. I can also use it to check on our home in real-time, which is perfect for keeping an eye on things when I’m out. The fact that it doubles as a chime for the doorbell camera is an added bonus, making sure we’re alerted to any movement at the front door as well.Overall:Whether you’re going on vacation or just want to keep your home secure day-to-day, this Ecobee indoor smart camera is an outstanding investment. It’s reliable, easy to use, and gives you peace of mind, both when you’re home and away. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enhance their home security!

Limited compatibility but well done
Overall the camera provide a clear view that will meet the needs of most homeowners. Although this is an indoor camera, there is the window view option that allows you to place the camera in a window to capture the world outside. The night vision was pretty solid compared to other we have tested. The camera uses 3 high-powered infrared LEDs with mechanical ICR filter. It was able to spot our all black cat and zoom surprisingly close for nightvision. We found the camera to be very reliable even when we were away. The smart detection features were extremely accurate. The setup was relatively easy however we did have some challenges and things we felt could be improved upon with future updates. I think this is a solid start to the expanding ecobee ecco system. This will be a great option for people who already have a ecobee thermostat and want a very simple and easy to use home monitoring system. The biggest drawback I think for most people will be the monthly subscription.In order to access any of the video capturing features you will need to subscribe to their home monitoring program. Ecobee is at the beginning phases of rolling out their home monitoring product line. With that being said the product line is limited to the indoor camera, a few sensors and the thermostat. I think for most people adding an additional monthly fee for such a limited product line might be hard for people to justify the expense. One of the uniquire features of this camera is also one of the things I found least usefull and that was the Amazon smart assistant integration. You are far better off using a echo dot for voice commands. Where the feature is usefull is on the two way commincation where it acts as a baby monitor. Now for the setup process. We ran into a lot of hiccups here. Although the process is pretty straightforward we had a hard time connecting to the ecobee servers. In addition one thing I think could be solved for with a future update in the wifi network search. Unlike most smart devices where you will see a list of local networks, currently it is manual and you have to physically input your SSID. The setup also requires you to input your personal phone number which I think might be an issue for some people. With such a bold product statement as: “The indoor security camera that gives you more insight into your home.” I would have liked to see more features packed into the camera that actually give insight into your home like temperature, air quality ext.More advance home autiomation enthisists may find the camera limiting especially if you already have a home monitoring system, adding this camera at this time doesn’t seem like it would be worth the $180 price tag.

I’m really happy with this camera so far. The setup through Apple Home was smooth, and it integrates perfectly with my other HomeKit devices. I can easily check the live feed directly from the Home app or even ask Siri to show me the camera. The video quality is crisp, with a wide 180° field of view that captures the entire room.The night vision is clear, and I love the two-way audio — it’s great for checking in at home when I’m away. The motion and person detection work accurately, and the notifications arrive almost instantly. I also appreciate that Ecobee takes privacy seriously, allowing local video encryption and automatic pausing when family members are detected.The only small downside is that it requires a steady Wi-Fi connection; if your signal is weak, it can occasionally disconnect. Other than that, it’s been very reliable.Overall, this is a great choice for Apple Home users who want a camera that’s simple to use, secure, and smartly designed.

I’m a fan of ecobee because of their quality made products. However, the subscription based storage is unacceptable. I know the subscription is not just for storage but also for other features of the camera that will be activated, such as fire alarm monitoring.

The Ecobee camera is an excellent addition to the Ecobee ecosystem. Installation is simple, and the image quality is excellent. While there have been some negative reviews, I have not experienced any of the reported connection issues. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality and smooth security camera.

Good indoor camera. I like it has the motion tracking without it having to rotate and move to keep the detected object in the field of view. It is less noticeable to the people in the room. It disconnects from Apple HomeKit from time to time but it is easy to set back to factory settings and reconnect to HomeKit. Hopefully it won’t be a problem with a future update. I like how it is Alexa built in. Why not Siri??? The thermostat premium has Siri and airplay 2!!! Hopefully with an update the camera will have it as well. Good camera. I do wish it was half the size of it though.
