Ecobee Smart Doorbell Camera (wired) review

Ecobee's Smart Doorbell Camera makes the most sense in a home that already has an ecobee thermostat. Its 175 degree vertical view is tall enough to show a package pushed against the door, and radar verification checks motion so alerts focus on people rather than passing cars or blowing leaves. Video is Full HD with HDR, and the doorbell connects over 2.4 or 5 GHz Wi-Fi. Presses can chime through speaker-enabled ecobee thermostats, and you can check the door live from a Smart Thermostat Premium. The included Core tier costs nothing, while Plus at $5 a month or $50 a year adds 30-day video storage, package detection and rich notifications, and Advanced costs $10 a month. It works with Google Home, Apple Home and Alexa, though Apple Home Secure Video is not supported. At $159.99 for an HD wired doorbell, value trails the 2K options here. We compared documented features and published prices.
