Is There a Camera on Alexa Devices?

You bet! Some Alexa devices, like the Echo Show, have cameras built right in. These aren’t just for show either—they can seriously up your home security game.

First off, the camera is fab for video calls. Whether you’re chatting with Grandma on Skype, using Zoom for work, or just dropping in on a friend, it’s like having a face-to-face conversation without leaving your couch.

Now, here’s something cool: you can use your Echo Show as a security camera. Flip on the Home Monitoring feature and boom—live feed directly to your phone through the Alexa app. Perfect for peeking in on the pup when you’re not at home.

And the cherry on top? Alexa plays nice with other security systems, like Reolink and Eufy. Just say the word and you can control everything with your voice. Trust me, it’s a life-changer for managing home security.

Worried about privacy? I hear you. Amazon’s on it—you can shut off the camera and mic with a simple button, and most Echo Shows even have camera shutters. Extra peace of mind, just like that.
