This morning Amazon announced a new service called Key. It allows Prime customers to get in-home delivery, meaning the courier will unlock your front door and drop the package off inside. You can read all about that here. To work, Amazon is releasing a brand new gadget called the Cloud Cam. It’s a indoor home security camera that acts as the brains for a smart lock, allowing Amazon to decide when it should open your house for a delivery. But it’s also a standalone offering, and another in the growing family of Alexa-enabled devices that promise to integrate Amazon into every part of your home life.
The Cloud Cam captures 1080p resolution video, and boasts night vision, two-way audio, a wide viewing angle, and activity clips from the last 24 hours via the Amazon Cloud Cam App. You can purchase one for $119.99 or get it bundled with a smart lock for $249.99 if you’re buying the Amazon Key in-home delivery bundle. Cloud Cam also is available for less than $100 each via a two-pack for $199.99 or a three-pack for $289.99.
