GH Tested: ecobee Home Security Bundle

From Good Housekeeping

This home monitoring package, which includes a super-smart camera and 4 smart sensors, gives you features of a custom security system for an off-the-shelf price.

WHAT WE LIKE

• HIGH-QUALITY IMAGE The 1080p camera provides a crisp, super-wide 180-degree field of view, which means depending on placement you may be able to see an entire room. Impressive!

• MULTI-FUNCTIONAL You can pan an area and zoom in on something you want to get a closer look at. Turn on the tracking function and the camera will automatically follow a person who enters a room; or program the camera to turn off when you are home.

• CONVENIENT EXTRAS You can also leave the camera on to do things like monitor the kids in the playroom. Want to know if they are ready for a snack? Use the camera's talk function to ask. Wondering about tomorrow's weather? The built-in Alexa can tell you that.

• CUSTOMIZABLE SET-UP The two window and door sensors can be set to give personalized alerts and may also be placed on interior doors or cabinets. The other two sensors can be placed anywhere in your home to detect movement. If you use the ecobee smart thermostat, the sensors will alert it to which rooms are occupied so that it can automatically adjust the temperature.
