ecobee Smart Video Doorbell Camera (Wired) - with Industry Leading HD Camera, Smart Security, Night Vision, Person and Package Sensors, 2-Way Talk, and Video & Snapshot Recording

This was my first time using a video doorbell, and I was initially worried about the wiring. But the setup was surprisingly simple, thanks to the step-by-step guide in the app. I was also pleased to discover that my old mechanical chime continues to function with the ecobee doorbell camera after installing the included chime adapter—it was a nice touch! The video quality is excellent, and the wide field of view provides a great look at my porch. I also appreciate the motion detection range adjustment in the app, which allows me to customize what gets detected, reducing unnecessary alerts. One of my favourite features is the integration with the thermostat. I didn’t expect to use it much, but I love that I can quickly glance at my thermostat to see who’s at the door when the bell rings. Overall, this doorbell camera has exceeded my expectations. It’s user-friendly, reliable, and packed with useful features. Highly recommend!

This doorbell camera works very well. Compared to a Ring, the field of view is wider. In the Ecobee smartphone app the recording are excellent and easy to access. In two different homes, we simply replaced the existing doorbell button switch with this. It includes what they call a chime adapter, a little box that goes in the doorbell chime box on the wall. The setup steps are in the phone app, and they are thorough and detailed. I like these a lot.That I wish was different: while it works to stream live video at Apple Home, it won't show its recordings in Home. Not yet! Hopefully they might update it to allow that, by supporting what is called HSV (Homekit Secure Video).I can't speak to how it works with the Amazon and Google smart home systems.When we needed phone support, it was available (once we found Ecobee's phone number which was a challenge :-))

The media could not be loaded. I recently got my hands on the new Ecobee Smart Doorbell, and I have to say, it’s an impressive addition to any smart home setup. Right out of the box, it gives off a premium feel with a sleek, modern design and solid build quality.Installation was straightforward, especially if you’re already using Ecobee products. The doorbell integrates seamlessly with the Ecobee app and works great with Alexa and Apple HomeKit. The 1080p HD video quality is crystal clear, even at night thanks to the infrared night vision. The wide-angle lens gives a great view of your doorstep, and the motion alerts are fast and accurate.One of the standout features is how well it handles package detection and visitor recognition. Plus, the two-way audio is surprisingly clear, letting you talk to delivery drivers or guests in real time.Overall, the Ecobee Smart Doorbell is a strong contender in the smart home market. It’s stylish, reliable, and packed with features that make your home feel more secure and connected.

The media could not be loaded. I live in the South and have this doorbell installed under an overhang. Since installing it in mid-April, I noticed the doorbell gets very hot to the touch — even the mounting screws were hot when I removed it.I had a licensed electrician inspect it. The transformer was fine, but he confirmed the doorbell unit itself should not be this hot. Ecobee support told me it’s “normal” and asked me to take a temperature reading above 113°F before calling them back — but I don’t feel comfortable waiting for a fire hazard just to meet a threshold.I love the recording and features, but the excessive heat makes me worry about safety. I shouldn’t have to worry about my doorbell catching fire. I’ll now try to get a temperature reading and reinstall, but this is not acceptable for a smart home product.Update: After spending extra money on an infrared thermometer- I would say Ecobee’s max temperature of 113 degrees exceeds (see picture and video - which was fun to do one handed), calling Ecobee support on my case.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve been using the Ecobee Smart Doorbell for a couple of weeks now, and overall, I’m really impressed. The video quality is crisp, even at night thanks to the infrared night vision. Installation was straightforward, though you’ll need existing wiring since it’s not battery-powered. Once set up, the motion alerts are fast and pretty accurate. I also like the smart detection feature that distinguishes between people, animals, and packages.The app is user-friendly, and I appreciate being able to view my front door from anywhere, especially when I’m traveling. Two-way audio is clear, though there’s a slight delay sometimes.One downside is that it requires a subscription for full video history, which is a bit of a bummer, but pretty standard these days. Still, the peace of mind and connectivity it adds to my smart home setup is worth it. Definitely recommend it if you want a reliable wired doorbell cam.

This doorbell cam has crisp video, smart alerts, and just enough sass to make me feel like a secret agent. Setup was a breeze, and now I get real-time updates every time a package arrives or a squirrel gets too bold.Pairs perfectly with my ecobee system, and yes—night vision is chef’s kiss. Bonus: I can judge who’s knocking before I commit to putting on pants.
