# ecobee Smart Doorbell Camera (wired)

*ecobee / EB-CAMSDB-01*

> The wired Smart Doorbell Camera runs on the existing doorbell wiring, so it needs no battery. It records 1080p video and works with HomeKit (without HomeKit Secure Video), Alexa and Google. It suits HomeKit users, with native support through local Wi-Fi control. Google Home and Alexa users reach it through an integration (the maker's cloud).
