GoKawiilAmazon launches Echo Studio with Home Camera for $249.99
Amazon unveiled a new Echo Studio speaker variant that adds a built-in 13-megapixel camera, otherwise matching the specs of last year's Echo Studio including its woofer, four microphones and AZ3 Pro processor. The camera lets users remotely view their space through the Alexa app and gives the Alexa Plus assistant visual context, with future support planned for video calls via compatible Fire TV devices. The camera-free Echo Studio remains available alongside the new model.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Embedding a camera into a speaker raises placement tradeoffs, since ideal acoustic positioning may not align with a useful vantage point for home monitoring, a tension the product itself doesn't resolve. The move also signals Amazon's push to make Alexa Plus more visually aware, though the showcased use cases—like scanning cereal boxes or game rules—suggest the practical value of this feature set is still being worked out.
- Amazon's new Echo Studio with Home Camera costs $249.99 and includes a 13MP camera.
- Specs otherwise match the 2025 Echo Studio, including the woofer, mics, and processor.
- The original camera-less Echo Studio remains on sale as a separate option.
