The best Doorbell
Great video quality, smart features, and sleek design.
The Ecobee Smart Doorbell Camera delivers crisp footage, reliable alerts, and smooth integration with Alexa and Ecobee devices. Setup was easy, and the app is intuitive. Just note: it’s wired-only and needs a subscription for full features. Still, a solid choice if you’re in the Ecobee ecosystem.

Great for one year
Stopped working after a year called ecobee tried to help then blamed it on internet, called internet company and they said it was ecobee. It’s the doorbell. Internet strength is good and is not blocking it.

Will work for a while, then it won’t
Had this unit for a year and it was good. Now it takes so long to respond I pretty much ignore the fact that I have it. If some one rings my bell it takes so long to bring up any video that the person is long gone and I just see nothing, if I’m lucky I see someone walking away. Pointless.

Security
I really like everything with one exception. The exception keeps me from making it a 5 star and that exception is the doorbell loses the camera view and needs to be reset at a minimum of once a year (hopefully I am home when it happens).

Good door cam and features
I love how the camera can be hardwired to low voltage power as well as it's ability to display who is at the door on all of my ecobee thermostat. My only gripe is that you have to pay for a subscription just to view a video clip of who is at your door, which seems ridiculous. I can understand if you have to pay for video recording history in the cloud, but the viewing o...

Subscription for useful features?
Love your thermostat! But it appears you are still requiring a subscription for the useful features of the doorbell. I’d love to buy a doorbell, but it’s just not intelligent to pay for a subscription. I’d be willing to pay the subscription if you give the doorbell away.

Apple subscription for Ecobee is Disadvantagious
When I created my account, I set it up through Apple Pay.
This has made it impossible for Ecobee to activate my one year free subscription that comes with every purchase.
Wish they had informed me when I set it up.

Best Thermostat
I’ve had this product installed for over 3 months now, and I have found it to be the best on the market. I had Nest before, and was pleased, but then they sold out to Google and I slowly became completely disillusioned as they dropped their customer service. After investigating for replacements, I decided on Ecobee.

Very happy
The doorbell has been installed for about 1 month. I love it. The camera quality is excellent. I also purchased the premium Ecobee Thermostat. I am very happy with that as well.

I love it!
Easy to install. My boyfriend said it took him 18 minutes to set up. I love that I can access it from the app where I already have my thermostat connected. I'm so glad to finally be done with my "dumb" doorbell. I love the security add-on as well, I already feel at ease knowing I can get alerts for when I'm away.

Nice looking, well built, works great!
I installed this doorbell camera several weeks ago. It was very easy when following the online instructions. They say it takes 45 minutes, but being slow and careful it took me about 70 minutes. It is working great!

Solid doorbell camera, missing a few features
A lot of functionality in a small, easy to install package (assuming that you already have a wired doorbell). Homekit support is a bit weak though: no HomeKit Secure video and no video history (unlike all the other HomeKit cameras I have). Hopefully there will be a new generation which fills these gaps!
