GoKawiilAmazon adds built-in camera to new Echo Studio speaker
Amazon has launched the Echo Studio With Home Camera, a version of its high-end smart speaker that incorporates a 13MP camera alongside its existing audio hardware. The speaker keeps the same Dolby Atmos drivers, AZ3 Pro processor and dimensions as the standard Echo Studio, but adds a new 'Advanced Room Adaptation' feature and camera-based tools like volume adjustment based on where you're standing and visual recognition through Alexa+.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The move suggests Amazon is positioning its speakers as multi-purpose smart home hubs rather than purely audio devices, blending camera-based monitoring with generative AI features like object recognition. Embedding a camera into a living-room speaker could raise privacy considerations for some users, even as Amazon frames it around convenience uses like checking on pets or remembering to turn off lights.
