ecobee Home Security Bundle with Smart Doorbell Camera (Wired), SmartSensor for Doors and Windows, and SmartCamera with Voice Control.

Seamless Home Security with Peace of Mind—Perfect Integration with Ecobee Ecosystem!
I couldn’t be happier with the Ecobee Smart Doorbell Camera. We recently moved into a new home, and I wanted a reliable security solution before heading on a Royal Caribbean cruise. After some research, this one seemed like the best fit, and I’m thrilled with my choice.Installation & Customization:Setting it up was smooth, especially with the Vivria power adapter I bought separately, which worked perfectly with my setup. I took a bit of extra time to drill at an angle to hide the wires, as shown in my photos, to keep things as clean as possible. While the wire-hiding part was more about personal preference, the doorbell itself was truly plug-and-play, and everything you need for the basic install is in the box. As you can see in the pictures, the install was clean other than my first missed drill attempt/minor paint touchups.Integration with Ecobee Ecosystem:What makes this doorbell camera shine is how well it integrates with my Ecobee Thermostat. Not only was setup a breeze with the Ecobee app, but I can actually use the thermostat as a video hub when someone rings the doorbell (you can see this in the photo). This setup lets me see and speak to visitors directly from the thermostat, which is super handy. Plus, both the thermostat and my Ecobee indoor cameras work as chimes, so no matter where we are in the house, we can hear when someone’s at the door.Peace of Mind While Away:The camera gave us total peace of mind while we were on vacation. The live remote viewing, real-time alerts, and the fact that it qualifies us for an insurance discount make this doorbell camera worth every penny. It really helped us relax, knowing we could check in on the house whenever we wanted.Final Thoughts:I can’t recommend the Ecobee Smart Doorbell Camera enough. It’s a solid investment that makes home security simple and seamless. If you already have an Ecobee setup, this is a no-brainer.

Easy setup, quality product overall, slight software improvements needed
I’m coming from having a ring doorbell (2 of them) and I really enjoyed the ring camera. I purchased the Ecobee doorbell because it integrates with Apple HomeKit and honestly I just wanted to try something new. The installation was awesome, so easy. The App walks you through the entire installation and I was super impressed. Best of all, it comes with a doorbell chime adapter, unlike the Ring (at least when I bought my Ring doorbell). The entire process took 45 min. Keep in mind you’ll likely need a power drill (to drill very small holes in wood), drill bit, and screwdriver. If you have masonry or other material you’ll need different tools, but this is a 101 level project and I’m confident anyone can complete with the solid instructions from the app, which is step-by-step. The quality of the product itself is great, and feels premium. Yes, it’s bigger than my Ring Pro but barely. The doorbell button is obvious and perfectly placed. The camera quality is great and the HomeKit integration is awesome and fast. I have an embarrassing amount of items in HomeKit and this was super simple to add. The camera loads fast and is high quality. My reasoning for 4 stars is with the software and motion/activity notifications. It’s frustratingly difficult to receive simple notifications when someone walks in front of the camera. I am no Einstein, but I shouldn’t have to search google to figure this step out. So far, I’ve been unable to figure this out to my satisfaction and this is done so well on Ring that this seems like a huge miss by Ecobee. It should be as simple as one button to turn these notifications on, no disarming or unarming. They get really close here but seems like they overthought this OR (more likely) I’m just missing the obvious. If their programmers are listening, you have a real winner on your hands if you just make motion alerts simpler and more obvious, none of this disarm/arm/Smart Security/confusing stuff. I will gladly give this 5 stars if either I can figure this out or they upstate the software.UPDATE: I figured out the notifications eventually but they were inconsistent and not reliable. I went back to my Ring Doorbell Pro 2 and it’s much better. This is all my opinion and I think in time the Ecobee will be great.

I just installed the camera a couple of weeks ago and the installation was extremely easy and took 20-30 minutes. The one problem is the tinny screws for mounting the backplate are really small and I dropped one and lost it, use a magnetic Phillips screw driver and maybe this will help. The picture quality is excellent and the smart focus option really works well it focusses on the person from the time it views until they are gone. The standard recording is 2 minutes which is great for viewing the person coming and going. Only two weeks and work the money.

I had the Neat at our last house, in thought I’d try the ecobee to run with the thermostats in my new home. There is no way to go back to a particular time and see what was taking place. The nest (now google) doorbell cam was much better. I have missed the return window, so I’m stuck with it!Video quality is good, set up was not easy, I was on with customer support a few times, and they are amazing.
