We love this Wi-Fi video doorbell even more now that it’s 25% off
One thing that’ll make you feel safer at home—and give you peace of mind when you’re away—is a smart video doorbell. With one of these, you can see a live video feed of your doorstep with a simple phone app, plus several other features of convenience. We really like the Ecobee Smart Video Doorbell, and even more now that it’s only $120 on Amazon (a 25% discount on its original $160). As tiny as this doorbell camera is, it captures full 1080p video both during the day and during the night. Taking things one step further, this doorbell features two-way audio, so you can talk with whoever’s outside your door, whether that’s to give instructions to a delivery person or to tell your friends to come back later. It’s wired so you won’t need to worry about battery, and it connects to your Wi-Fi network so you can check in on the feed whenever and wherever you are. If you get an Ecobee Smart Security subscription (costs extra), you’ll also get a feature called Package Detection. One of the things we loved most when we reviewed this Ecobee video doorbell was the inclusion of 24/7 professional monitoring in that Smart Security plan. You also get video recordings up to 30 days and smart notifications with snapshots whenever it detects someone or something at your door. We also loved the Ecobee’s versatility because it comes with support for pretty much all the big smart assistants out there, including Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings. If you want something that’s several steps up from a typical budget video doorbell, this is one to check out. Get the Ecobee Smart Video Doorbell for $120 on Amazon before this sale ends!
