Outside of its name, ecobee SmartCamera with Voice Control, and the URL which is not live as of yet, details surrounding the camera are scarce. We expect that the voice control feature will work the same as the company's thermostat line, using internal microphones and Amazon's Alexa built-in.
Other features for the camera could include a temperature sensor to allow it to work just like ecobee's Room Sensors, and HomeKit support would enable it to work with Siri, scenes, and automations. HomeKit Secure Video, Apple's privacy focused camera recording feature could also be in the works, but just having another HomeKit camera on the market is pretty big news for fans of the platform.
