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

I've had the doorbell camera for almost two months. The camera functions well, the image quality is nice, and install was a breeze. I also live in northern Alberta, and it functioned without issue during an entire week below -30 degrees celsius. The subscription to have your videos saved on the cloud isn't overly pricey and reasonable. Having to pay a subscription is really the only drawback so far. I like that it integrates with my ecobee smart thermostat, but the functionality is limited since the image only appears on the thermostat screen when someone presses the doorbell button. I wish it would appear on tbe thermostat whenever motion is detected. I'm also pleased that this doorbell camera works with my house's old 16v 10va transformer, and that I didn't need to install a new one. Most new smart cameras require a higher voltage transformer with greater amperage output. I believe the ecobee doesn't require as much power due to the chime adapter having it's own battery. This would reduce the total on system when the mechanical chime is activated. But that's just my personal speculation. There was an issue with the zoom/pan feature, but support was quick to get back to me via email, and they assured me the issue would be resolved with the next patch/update. This proved to be true, and the issue is resolved. Overall I'm very pleased with this purchase so far. And having full control of my home's thermostat and camera on the same app is a pleasant experience. I'd recommend this product to anyone okay with paying for a subscription.

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!

We’ve looked into a bunch of smart doorbell brands; especially offer sustainable products and this one was super well-rated. Got in great price, so felt like a solid deal. It's feels premium, lightweight & complete kit which made our setup so easy. I hope it holds up well since we experience pretty cold weather here. The full HD video plus the quality of sound is amazing; everything is so crisp & clear especially during day time. I like that it has 2 way audio features, night vision and impressive motion detection. The controllable low siren in the app is new for me and nice touch for deterring unwanted visitors. So far, no delay with the ring or app notifications, except when recording motion and updating every two minutes. You can also download the ecobee app and invite family members for easy access when you’re not home. Definitely worth it, and highly recommend for anyone looking to upgrade and enhance their home security. Update: 12/28/2025 I bought this in April 2025 and everything works perfectly. But by Oct-Dec, the mechanical chime stopped working (no ding‑dong sound), possibly because of the extreme cold. Then in mid‑December, we didn’t fix anything, it suddenly started working again.

I am always someone who is big on safety and nervous to open the door for strangers. I live in an area where there are alot of homeless people, and it makes me very nervous. With that said peace of mind is extremely important to me. Previously i was using a doorbell that was a competitor to Ecobee but one i was extremely unhappy with. Upon getting my ecobee i was thrilled how wonderful this product really is. Not only does it have a very sleek design which i absolutely love, but it also is home kit enabled which my other one was not. I love that i can sync this to all my other smart features in my home in one app. I also love all of the really cool things you can do with this. The picture quality is extremely clear and the chimes are very nice. This was very easy to set up and the instructions were very clear. This brand is a brand now i want to buy all the products from. If you havent yet tried ecobee products i would advise you to not sleep on it. They are competitively priced!

Of the camera doorbells on the market this one if my favorite, however I think you may want to consider on of the others, depending. Logi was the only doorbell with noticeable downsides outside of having a secure platform. Nest and their ecosystem was the best for full home automation and Eco was the best for a secure platform/ standalone product/ Apple Home iOS product. though you really can't go wrong with any of those 3. Logi I'll start by stating there really isn't a bad choice here, with the possible exception of logi, between them getting obsessively hot and not being terribly reliable. My dad has one and he has both issues though not enough so that he gets rid of it. Ring I had a Ring for years and it worked well. It was easy to install and the notifications were accurate. Plus the community is huge so you'll know when something happens. For example when something happened at a local elementary school my ring doorbell let me know first. Same for amber alerts. This is solid choice, though not the securest platform as the only downside here. Google - Nest They make a great doorbell. The major advantage this doorbell has is that it goes with the google ecosystem. I.E. if you want a lot of home automation, or you're in their ecosystem already there is no reason not to grab this doorbell. It's not the most secure platform either though not the least. Eco The picture is great, it works by far the easiest with other systems (like Apple or iOS), and there are no large downsides. If you want a secure platform or are using Apple's Home App this is your best bet.
