Homeowners will also get a fourth-generation Echo speaker as a replacement for the smart home hub.
Amazon customers received an email about the shutdown of Cloud Cam servers where Amazon says it plans to focus on Blink, Ring and other smart home devices. This means that video recording storage will no longer be available and the ability to connect to smart locks by editing Cloud Cam keys will end until it is replaced by an Echo.
However, while the camera is free, features such as quick video access and motion-based recording will cost about $ 30 a year (approximately $ 38 CAD) as part of a basic subscription with Amazon-owned Blink. .
