Does watching virtual pan and zoom make you throw up like it does to me? |
2022-05-29 |
No. I’ve played video games off and on for 30-plus years, including VR. I also don’t get car sick or motion sickness in most cases. |

Can this be used as an occupancy sensor to trigger Alexa to turn on lights? |
2022-03-25 |
No, I don’t think so. You should be able to use a smart speaker and smart plug to do the same thing |

Is it possible to trigger Camera recording with the door sensor? |
2022-05-25 |
The motion sensor will do that. |

How many days of backup? Can I download/save video? |
2022-10-13 |
I have the camera alone with ecobee lite thermostat and the cloud recordings go back to September 13th as of today writing this to you. 30 days it looks like and its in 2:00 minute increments of alarm alerted video recorded. |

I believe it’s up to 2 months that you’ll get free if you got the camera recently. You’ll have to pay for service after the initial 2 months. |

Are any features disabled if i don't buy ecobee subscription (i only plan to use homekit)? if so, what's lost? |
2023-01-13 |
Yes. It only records 30-second clips. I’d have preferred to build a Raspberry Pi with a camera for what I paid for this. (I use this specifically with HomeKit. You can still use the ecobee app for a little extra control, but it doesn’t record any more than Home.) |

You won’t be able to record anything because it’s cloud based. Other than that, all other functions work. |

Dedicated to HomeKit I lost the smart focus auto pan and zoom feature and of course Alexa voice. Also HomeKit settings don’t offer alert on sound so no support for letting you know a smoke alarm is screaming. Under HomeKit this camera generally behaves like any other HomeKit exclusive camera. With or without a subscription, there are a few features you gain with the Ecobee app but then why bother with HomeKit. |

My experience, the greatest feature (HomeKit) did not execute a stable connection. I exchanged the first unit thinking I just received a bad one. The second one I received was worse so, after about 45 mins. with Tech Supported I packed it in and spent a little more for the eve camera and it has been smooth sailing ever since. The eve is not Hi-Def and the color rendering is not accurate but it does love HomeKit. Good luck! 🤞🏼 |

Does it work on mesh WiFi with homekit? My circle views disconnect constantly… |
2023-02-11 |
Unreliable for Homekit, and due to multiple other issues. |

Can you view more then one camera at a time on my smartphone? Like watching 2 kids rooms at once |
2022-04-06 |
The app. allows to access and control multiple cameras but only one can be viewed live. No simultaneous split screen view. |

Will it alert you if your dogs are barking? |
2023-02-24 |
You can turn sound on or off, and talk over it, but no way to alert for barking that I’ve found |

As far as I know it won’t. It doesn’t have audio notifications. It only pushes notifications for motion sensor and person identification activities. Not just for audio activity.
But for any of the detection activities (motion or person identification) it does record the audio during that time. |

I had to exchange the first SmartCamera because it was not operating properly and I had to return the second because it was worse than the first. My best recollection was that there was an option in settings for barking dogs. |

Is there a way to not get alarms from pets and only have human detection alerts? Pointless to have them if I get alerts from arming system for pets |
2022-06-09 |
It’s configurable. Poke around in settings (the ecobee app) long enough and you should find it. |

My cats chewed the power cord to this security camera, so how can I get just a power cord replacement? |
2022-08-10 |
Call the company and tell them your situation, I’m sure they can send you another one for a small fee. If your handy, splice the chewed off and put it back together and tape it up with electrical tape. |

Can you set up with only using apple homekit, or do you need the ecobee app? in other words does it have a qr code to use with apple homekit? |
2022-11-27 |
Yes you can set it up with just the home kit app. You can use both apps if you like. |

I don’t use the Apple Home App, but the camera does have a QR and just tried to “add a device” with the iPhone camera and it did recognized it. |

I had trouble with the ecobee and Home Kit. The software was not into it. I spent a good 45 mins on the phone with tech support and we managed to get the camera working a little. I exchanged for another one and had the same problem. Great tech support but in the end I spent a bit more and got the Eve. It runs very smoothly with Home Kit. Tech support is via email and takes at least 24 hours for a reply. The video quality and color rendering is not great but it works well. Good luck 🤞🏼 |
