用家用相机的回声工作室能做什么？
摄影机是一款安全相机，Amazon 称它让Alexa+“视觉智能”能够看到和做更多。 例如，Echo Studio可以解释棋盘游戏在 Studio 视图中出现的规则，也可以帮助您在向相机展示时订购更多产品。 这可以帮助你从Amazon购买更多的东西——多么方便。

今年晚些时候，Echo Studios和Amazon Fire TV将会获得相容性，因此可以使用Echo Studio的相机启动电视上投放的视频通话。
Echo Studio的到来带有高级房间的改编，将音效切入到一个空间并切入到您身上——它从扬声器到音量降低或提高音量的距离，这样无论您与设备的距离如何，都能在您想要的音量中听到音乐。
新的扬声器由Amazon的AZ3硅芯片提供动力，这有助于亚历克萨更快地接通对话，削减背景噪音。 端侧处理有助于您与Amazon机器人的对话
Amazon的Omnisense技术监测一个房间的条件来适应房间温度和照明。 这将会有所助益，因为Amazon已经使"多特"成为了自己的智能家用枢纽，可以控制家庭周围的其他相容设备。 这使得Amazon Echo作为独立的智能家用枢纽几乎已经过时。
什么是隐私问题？
科技公司不断放出有不断录音和收听能力的产品，让许多用户和隐私倡导者感到不适。
9月，Apple 发布在其"Apple观察"上有两个有争议的总是收听的功能，这些功能捕捉到最后几秒钟的对话并在屏幕上显示记录稿，以及一个功能总结会议。 Meta的"雷班"智能眼镜是最近又一被监视审查的对象。 因为眼镜可以在不知情的情况下公开记录人们，所以人们开始叫雷班斯"变态眼镜".

更不用提Flock相机：交通摄像头非常不受欢迎
人们有融资担心这些装置会倾听或观看到他们生活中最私密的部分，并使用这些信息来出售更多的东西——或者完全滥用它。 几年前，Amazon自己的"魔戒"员工能够透过用户相机看到并进入他们的家中。 这导致了一场集体诉讼，使得Amazon向用户支付500万美元的结算款。
带家相机的回声工作室包含一个削减给麦克风和相机供电的专用按钮，尽管使用它会限制设备的智能功能。 LED表示相机在流出时，但再次，用户可以完全用哑巴按钮关闭。
Amazon 称在给ZDNET的声明中称“相机不是连续的，”。 例如透过Live View(Live View)登入，换句话说，你必须触发相机。
客户会多快地购买这款智能的家用相机和扬声器，找到它的用途，并且不会被监视所吓倒，仍然有待观察。

ZDNET’s key takeaways
- Amazon unveiled Echo Studio with Home Camera, available now for $250.
- Its camera can monitor a room or help Alexa answer questions about its view.
- More companies are adding all-seeing or all-hearing tech to their devices.
Amazon’s new Echo Studio with Home Camera does exactly what it sounds like: adds a camera to the premium smart speaker for home monitoring, visual assistance, and video calls. It’s available now for $250 and is another attempt by Amazon to see into more homes.
What can the Echo Studio with Home Camera do?
The camera serves as a security camera when you’re away and an all-seeing assistant while you’re in the room. Amazon said it gives Alexa+ “visual intelligence” to be able to see and do more. For example, the Echo Studio can explain the rules of a board game when it appears in the Studio’s view or help you order more of a product when you show it to the camera. It could help you buy more stuff from Amazon — how convenient.

Later this year, Echo Studios and Amazon Fire TVs will gain compatibility, so you can use the Echo Studio’s camera to initiate video calls that cast on the TV.
The Echo Studio arrives with advanced room adaptation that melds sound to a space and to you — it gathers your distance from the speaker to lower or raise the volume as you move around, so you can hear the music at your desired volume regardless of your distance from the device.
The new speakers are powered by Amazon’s AZ3 silicon chip, which helps Alexa pick up conversations more quickly and cuts background noise. Its on-device processing helps your conversations with Amazon’s robot sound a little less robotic.
Amazon’s Omnisense technology monitors a room’s conditions to adapt the room temperature and lighting. This will come in handy now that Amazon has made the Dot into a smart home hub of its own that can control other compatible devices around the home. This renders the Amazon Echo nearly obsolete as a standalone smart home hub.
What are the privacy concerns?
Tech companies keep releasing products with always-on recording and listening capabilities, to the discomfort of many users and privacy advocates.
In September, Apple unveiled two controversial always-listening features on its Apple Watch that capture the last few seconds of a conversation and display the transcript on the screen, as well as a feature that summarizes meetings. Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses are another recent subject of surveillance scrutiny. Because the glasses can record people in public without their knowledge, people have begun calling the Ray-Bans “pervert glasses.”

And I’d be remiss not to mention Flock cameras: The traffic cameras are so unpopular they’ve become a bipartisan rallying cry against state surveillance.
People have raised concerns that these devices will listen or see into the most private parts of their lives and use that information to sell them more stuff — or misuse it altogether. A few years ago, Amazon’s own Ring employees were able to see through users’ cameras and into their homes. This resulted in a class-action lawsuit that left Amazon paying users $5 million in settlements.
The Echo Studio with Home Camera includes a dedicated button that cuts power to the mics and camera, though using it would limit the device’s smart functionality. An LED indicates when the camera is streaming, but again, users can shut it off entirely with the mute button.
“The camera is not continuously on,” Amazon said in a statement to ZDNET. “It is only enabled when you’re using a feature that leverages the camera,” such as checking in through Live View, making video calls, or asking Alexa to look at something. In other words, you have to trigger the camera.
How quickly customers will buy this smart home camera and speaker, find use for it, and not be weirded out by surveillance remains to be seen.
How much does the Echo Studio with Home Camera cost?
The Echo Studio with Home Camera is available now for $250.
