I used a variation of this. I needed something to monitor my waiting area down the hall from my office. I wanted a larger screen than my phone to be always on so I could quickly look at it from my desk. I installed a Wyze v3 camera in the waiting area and wirelessly connected it to the office router network with the Wyze app on my phone. Then I bought an Echo Show 8 - 2nd generation and installed the Alexa app on my phone. I downloaded the Wyse skill for Alexa and was able to display the v3 camera on the Echo.
The connection sometimes cuts out (not because of signal strength) and I have to re-select the camera on the Echo which is annoying but it gives me a large, HD color picture that is always on. This is much better than a baby monitor and even allows me to see the waiting area from anywhere on my phone when Iâm away from the office. This was much less expensive than a traditional security camera setup. I tried this using a Nest camera but the connection was not reliable. I covered the camera on the Echo with the shutter and disabled everything I could including the microphone.
Thank you so much for this vid! I just spent an hour looking on the internet for this solution! I love you tube!!!
Thanks that helped a lot.
Iâll use this to watch my dogs. Thank you!!
Exactly what I searched too lol
Thanks for the review!
Thanks alot it worked
Perfect, thanks!
Thank you, mine works now đ
Thanks very useful
I like that, I will try in the morning. đđđ
This is great. I plan to use my echo show for this now.
Awesome! Thanks
Thanks for this information. I'll be using it to check in on my dogs.
So stupid
Hi, does the echo show 8 1st gen have live view? Or is it 2nd gen only?
Will use it!
Well, looks great but I don't want someone that breaks into my home ro actually be told they are being watched. I wouldn't want to monitor my family especially in a private moment. Maybe this is ideal to monitor a baby.
You can turn that offâŠ.obviously
â@@KimBoone-lu5ho HOW?
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the video! I have motion detection set up on the echo and it sends a push notification to my phone when someone enters my room. Is there a way to have the echo turn on your camera when motion is detected instead of it sending me just a notification?
Thank you đ
Thanks buddy
Great video! I also use an ICSee camera to discreetly monitor our LR/kitchen when we leave the house. Some may want this option. (Just started watching your channel and don't know if you already recommend anything like this - there's no expectation of privacy for visitors in my home when we are away)
Can you hear audio when you check in or no?
I set it up awhile back but now trying to look at it again it looks like ill have to reconnect all. Will this happen once you loose electricity maybe?
Anyway to turn off notification on show that it is being monitored?
Will use this to check on my cat Luigi :)
Can we receive notifications of movement on cam?
I have a question so for Alexa when the camera is blocked like when covered by the paper thing can you still see through it?
Is this on all versions?
ALOHA I WANT TO DOUBLE CHECK IF THE ECHO 15 COMPATIBLE WITH BLINK SURVEILLANCE WITH 5 CAMERS
I used to use mine to watch my dogs and recently set up my moms to do the same but she said she couldnât view them when away from home but I never had an issue so Iâm just curious what she is doing wrong thanks
Can echo record the viewing as a security camera?
Is the echo the camera or do I need a separate camera?
Thank you thank you knock them out of my room when I go hunting
Iâve done this the live view will work on my iPad, but not my Samsung galaxy s21 fe can u help? Plz
Yes
So I followed you every step of the way and I still cannot get the camera to turn on the device or from my phone
Can I do this but just to listen in?
I just can't see the difference between this, shown in the video, and doing a drop in to my echo show when away from home. I bet the only diff is that in drop in I can talk and been listened to on the other side... I think that's the deal, right? I would love to have this feature in "spy" mode, where you'd be able to see what is going on somewhere without people knowing they were been screened. Thanx
Can you use another show to watch it live ?
Hello! Can it record video?
Unfortunately, not everyone is smart phone crazy...how can you monitor the echo show on a PC ? You can open the app and click on communication then click on the device you want to use and simply make a video call
How can I turn the notification off that says someone is watching you? I donât want anyone to know itâs a camera
Mine just says loading then times out as "not available".
Is there a pip?
Is there a way to disable someone from hitting the âstopâ button or the echo show from displaying that message?
Did you got any answers?
I use this feature, I don't have a video delay, running on S21 ultra phone from Samsung.
Can u save the recordings?
Just get video is no available at this time any idea what this means
If I have more them just one echo show.I multiple device
Is there a way to keep live recording if I'm not using the app?
2:30
Sir do I need to download a camera for this, I can't find the camera anywhere on the app,I have the Amazon show 5.
Same. And it was there before
Can you have night vision
It worked, but the camera only shows for three seconds, and then goes out. How do I fix this?
I'd like the echo to send me a notification on my phone when it detects movement in my home. How do we do that?
Me too. How?
Cant
@@cruciallegend8184 bummer đđ
It shows video not available at this time
Mines keeps saying camera muted and canât get it off
I like to know Why you don't say that you can't only use your camera in side your home and it only uses WiFi
I used to be able to access my camera now I keep getting camera live view is not recorded. Can you help
Same mine too I tried everything including relaunch the app but nothing works
Echo show turns ring viewing off after like a min. I want a constant feed
OK, I'm getting a notification "Live View isn't available right now. Please try again later." on the Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen). Does anyone have a fix for this issue?
I'm having the same issue with my echo show 8 2nd gen. Any idea what to do?
Same heređ€·
Make sure the do not disturb is off and camera is open on rhe show 8 version
@@cathythomson1 tried all of that, still doesn't work.
My echo show 5 keep saying live view isn't available right now please try again later
Same here
SMs
And mine
You can't leave your home and View your home because it's only working when you at home inside off your wifi đđ
I want a. Camera on my fire tablet 7
Getting error not available, is this now broken?
Same
Have you found a fix? Iâm having same problem. Thx
Steve in the house what you got what you got
Okkkkk but whatâs the bottom rated candle scent ? Guess Iâll ask my Alexa
Is there option that it wonât show that somebody is watching you?
Diy you got any solution for tht .............plz let us know if you got one
It keeps displaying tht message
Thatâs exactly what I want to know!
I had the same question
thats why im here hahaha
You'll never know when the CIA is watching. Then and Amazon have a 600 million dollar contract
Once you disconnect your phone from the Wi-Fi the connection is going and you cannot use the camera unless if you are IN the house which is pointless đŽ
Not true, I was still able to view the camera from another network
Is there a way to get that notification off the top that says itâs being viewed
Mine says live view isnât available
Make sure do not disturb is off and camera open
In my echo 8 is not giving me that option when you go to setting for camera why đđđđ
Did u get a fix yet? I cant seem to do it
I do it with my echo show 8
it gives me an error message that live view isn't available right now. Please try again later.
Same here. Did u later fix it??
Same
Did you ever find a fix? Iâm getting safe error message. Thanks
@@galaxyumeadi2266 did you happen to find a fix? Iâm having same problem. Thanks
@@HoyaSaxaSD I had to factory reset my echo show
I just want to catch the wife playing with herself while I'm upstairs đ
Can you share the view? đ
@@kaioshin02 well I got some interesting footage. Send your email and I'll share
đ
Alexa has a camera that you can watch people with? Can those videos be saved and re watched later? Damnđ
Didn't work
My app doesn't look like that
Got it working ? I canât figure this out . My echo wonât connect to Alexa app
Can you show your password next time? Thanks.
It's useless unless you are at home, using the same wifi network. Defeats the purpose.
Lol.. i can do this from 200km away from home. You need to setup your alexa account first. It will do the job.
@@kaioshin02 incorrect. The Echo 5 in Australia doesn't do this, as confirmed by Amazon.
@@petermoulton7304 Iâm using Echo Show 8 and live in Australia. All works fine
@@kaioshin02 that's the 8, which does work.
What an incredible hassle. Itâs not even worth it to have to go through all this crap just to get it to show a monitor for crying out loud.
what are u wearing a hat for, your inside the damn house
So...it means my soon to be ex husband was spying on me while I was on a phone call.
Title claims use as security camera only to state the fact that it shows live only. If you want recording for security you'll need to look elsewhere. Clickbait! What a crock.
Can i do a 24 hour live feed as my mum has dementia and i want to keep a eye on her
