Amazon began shipping the Echo Studio with Home Camera on Wednesday for $249.99, adding visual input and remote room monitoring to its speaker, The Next Web reported. Amazon says users can show Alexa a board game box for help with rules or a cereal box to help reorder it.

Owners can check the room through the Alexa app. A dedicated button disables the microphones and camera, and an indicator shows when images or video stream to the cloud, Amazon said. Certain features require Alexa+, which is included with Prime. The camera-free Echo Studio remains available for $219.99.
