Amazon is giving its premium smart speaker a camera. The new Echo Studio with Home Camera, announced today as part of Amazon’s big blast of announcements, has a built-in camera for monitoring a room while you’re away, showing things to Alexa, and, soon, to use with video calls on Fire TV devices. It’s an iteration on the revised Echo Studio announced last year, which had a brand-new design.
The Echo Studio with Home Camera also offers some audio updates. Amazon says a new feature called “Advanced Room Adaptation” will continuously tune sound to the space that the speaker is in. There’s also an “Adaptive Volume” feature that raises or lowers volume depending on where you are in a room so that “your music or audiobook maintains the same volume as you move about.”
The new Echo Studio with Home Camera will cost $249.99 and come in graphite. Amazon will still sell the standard Echo Studio at its $219.99 price.
