Amazon turns its most capable smart speaker into a smart camera, too

Amazon has released the Echo Studio with Home Camera, adding a 13MP camera to its premium Echo Studio smart speaker without significant audio upgrades. The camera enables remote room monitoring, occupancy-based volume adjustment, and AI-powered visual recognition through Alexa+.

Background

Amazon's Echo Studio, launched in 2019, has long been positioned as the company's premium audiophile-grade smart speaker. This update represents Amazon's strategy of converging smart home devices rather than introducing entirely new form factors.
