ecobee Smart Doorbell Camera (Wired) Review: A Smart Doorbell Built for the ecobee Home

The ecobee Smart Doorbell Camera is a $159.99 wired model delivering 1080p HDR video, a tall field of view, and guided setup, with noted limitations that affect buyers. The ecobee Smart Doorbell Camera provides 1080p HDR video, a 187-degree view with a 175-degree vertical perspective, night vision, package detection, and two-way talk. It integrates with HomeKit and Alexa and works seamlessly with ecobee thermostats, though advanced features and 30-day clips require a Smart Security subscription. Installation supports 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi‑Fi and requires a 16–24 VAC transformer; older or unusual wiring may need professional assistance. The camera uses computer vision and radar for motion alerts, supports activity zones, carries an IP65 rating, operates from -13°F to 113°F, and omits Matter support.
