ecobee Security Bundle Pack Smart Doorbell Camera + SmartSensor

In this review of the ecobee Security Bundle Pack, the reviewer finds a practical, integrated security upgrade for homeowners who want wide coverage and simple automation. The bundle pairs a wired Smart Doorbell Camera with a two-pack of SmartSensor for doors and windows, and the single biggest reason to buy is how these pieces work together to provide continuous video, instant entry alerts, and HVAC-aware automation that can reduce energy waste. Installation is straightforward with an intuitive mobile guide, and the system is designed to operate in harsh weather without batteries.

Key Features

• Head-to-toe field of view: The doorbell camera offers an expansive viewing angle so users see visitors and packages clearly both day and night.
• Auto-pan and clear video: Full HD 1080p HDR with auto-pan gives a closer, clearer live view and lets you speak to visitors using two-way talk from a smartphone, tablet, or compatible ecobee thermostat.
• Entryway sensing: SmartSensors placed on doors and windows send instant alerts when opened and detect motion up to 16 ft within a 120 arc for added interior protection.
• Energy-saving automation: If an entryway is left open, the system can turn off HVAC after 5 min and resume when the entry is closed, helping reduce energy waste (requires subscription for automated HVAC control).
• Professional monitoring and storage: Optional 24/7 professional monitoring and 30-day video storage are available, along with package detection and rich snapshot notifications.
• Durable wired design: The wired doorbell with IP65 protection works in extreme temperatures between -25 and 45C and does not rely on batteries.

Who It's For

This bundle suits homeowners and renters with wired doorbell compatibility who want an all-in-one solution combining doorbell video and dedicated entry sensors. It is especially useful for people who value continuous professional monitoring, cloud video storage, and automation that ties home security into energy management.

It may be less attractive for users who need battery-powered, wireless doorbells or those who require Apple HomeKit Secure Video support, which is not available for the doorbell. Also, full HVAC automation benefits require an ecobee Smart Security subscription and an ecobee thermostat to realize the saved-energy features.
