TL;DR
- Amazon has announced a new version of the Echo Studio smart speaker with an embedded video camera.
- The Echo Studio with Home Camera can be used to check on your home while you’re away and also gives the Alexa Plus assistant a view of your space.
- The new speaker costs $249.99. The older version without a camera is still available.
The most recent Echo Studio speaker was released just last year, but Amazon’s already back at it with a refreshed version. Among a bunch of Echo-related launches today, Amazon announced the Echo Studio with Home Camera, a tweak to the existing model that adds, well, a camera.
The new Echo Studio with Home Camera shares all the same specs with the 2025 Echo Studio — same 3.5″ woofer, same four mics, same AZ3 Pro processor. The camera is the sole difference, giving Alexa Plus a view into your space and letting you remotely view the area around your speaker.
