## Summary

Amazon releases the Echo Studio with Home Camera for $250, adding a camera that gives Alexa+ visual intelligence for home monitoring, video calls, and answering questions about what it sees. The camera is enabled only when a feature uses it, Amazon says, and a dedicated button cuts power to the microphones and camera. The speaker runs on Amazon's AZ3 silicon chip.
