On a previous post I showed you a very inexpensive security camera. That camera can be easily viewed on your smart phone. But there is another way also. With one of these Amazon Echo Show devices. If you don’t already have an Echo Dot or any type of Alexa powered device, then you should really look into one. An Echo Dot is a fairly inexpensive personal assistant device. It can do a multitude of things to help simplify your life. With the Echo show however, you have a screen. So you can do many more things. One of those things is viewing your security cameras and the Wyze Cam I wrote about earlier will connect to this in a snap. Just say “Alexa show me the driveway cam” and voilà, there it is on the screen. Of course the Echo Show does many more things like controlling your smart lights, smart locks and the many, many things you see in this video. If you’re thinking about making your home “smarter”, one of these devices is a good way to start. They’re not complicated to set up and they come in a variety of screen sizes. Check them out at amazon.com.
