On Wednesday,Watch Don’t Believe The Hole Online Amazon announced the launch of yet another Alexa-enabled gadget, the Cloud Cam.
It's a smart security camera that does all the usual stuff security cameras do, like monitor your pets, kids or your door while you're away. But it also integrates with Alexa devices and has a couple of special features not typically seen on security cameras, even "smart" ones.
SEE ALSO: Not everyone's desperate for Amazon's second headquartersThe most interesting thing about the Cloud Cam is its integration with a new Amazon service called Amazon Key. It lets you automate the process of package deliveries; you can receive packages while you're not at home, and you can also track deliveries and get notifications. If you're so inclined, you can even watch a video of a delivery after it's complete.
Amazon Key also lets you let guests into your home without you being present. For that, however, you'll need to get the Amazon Key In-Home Kit, which includes the Cloud Cam (Key Edition) and a compatible smart lock.
In terms of tech specs, the Cloud Cam records 30fps, 1080p video which it can store in Amazon's cloud. You get access to the last 24 hours of video, but with a subscription, which starts at $6.99 per month or $69 per year, you'll be able to go further back in time, and get support for more cameras.
The Cloud Cam also has a 120-degree viewing angle, night vision, ambient light sensor, motion detection and two-way audio. The camera can be controlled through an accompanying mobile app. The camera is designed for indoor use only, and doesn't have batteries -- it has to be plugged in to work.
There's a bit of AI thrown into the mix as well. According to Amazon, the camera will learn the types of activities that require an alert over time, so (ideally) it shouldn't bug you whenever your dog crosses its field of view.
As for Alexa integration, as long as you have another Alexa-enabled gadget in your home, the Cloud Cam will work with it. You can, for example, see the live feed from the Cloud Cam on your Fire TV on Tablet with a simple Alexa voice command. You can also announce dinner time on your Echo Spot or Echo Show through the camera's mic.
Amazon Cloud Cam costs $119.99 on its own ($199.99 if you buy two, and $289.99 if you buy three). The Amazon Key In-Home Kit costs $249.99. In the U.S., the Cloud Cam will begin shipping on Nov. 8.
