I have the camera. It’s pretty nifty, but i don’t know about $180 nifty.
How does it compare to smartthings cam?
I don’t have a SmartThings Cam to compare it to 
Its certainly much more expensive. Could get a ST cam and echo dot for cheaper and have about the same feature set.
Except no HomeKit integration. (Everything I buy for my house has both Echo and HomeKit integration. 
)
One interesting note from the article above:
Perhaps what remains most impressive for Ecobee is its continued support for multiple different ecosystems. It has always been a loyal supporter of HomeKit, and that continue with the new SmartSensors and SmartCamera. There’s also Amazon Alexa support, with SmartThings and Google Assistant coming “soon.”
I found the ST coming soon mention interesting. We’ll see how they define “soon”.
There are certainly some advantages ecobee cam has over ST cam:
- Homekit
- Alexa integration
- 180 degree lens
- Alexa device built in
- native arming/disarming by wifi connection
