The Ecobee SmartCamera offers you 1080p resolution and a 180-degree field view with the zooming features. Not only this, but it has other in-built Alexa features that enable you to check the weather, activate lights, etc.
Though the setup is simple and easy, you might face certain issues while setting up the same. If you have already followed the instructions and have set up a smart camera, and it’s still not activated, make sure to perform a reset before giving it another shot. Hold together the ‘Mute’ and the ‘Microphone’ button together for a few seconds, and the reset will begin alerting you with voice control.
The associate will experience each reset choice one-by-one. It’ll ask you whether you want to reset the SmartCamera to factory settings, and to do the same, click on the ‘Microphone’ button. You’ll be notified if your instructions are being followed. Also, note that it might take a couple of attempts.
When you have reset the gadget to factory settings, you can start with the setup process.
