The Emerson Home Cam Video skill is for streaming your Emerson security camera (Alexa compatible models) directly to your Amazon Echo Video Devices (Echo Show/ Echo Spot). This skill is for streaming only and is different from the Emerson Home Cam skill, which you can use your voice to control the camera like asking what the temperature is.
With the Emerson Home Cam Video skill, users will be able to stream up to 10 minutes at a time before the stream automatically times out and will be able to stream up to a total of 1 hour per day. The 1 hour of streaming/day resets automatically every 24 hours, based on the time that you first started streaming.
Requirements for the streaming feature to work: An Alexa Video device (Echo/ Echo Spot) And Alexa compatible security camera model from Emerson Enable the Emerson Home Cam Video Alexa skill (same login as your Emerson Home Cam app)
To enable this feature, your camera and your Alexa video device must be connected to Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) for the video stream to work. In the Amazon Alexa App, search in the skills section for Emerson Home Cam Video (not Emerson Home Cam Skill) and enable the skill. The prompt asks you to log in using your security camera app login information (NOT your Amazon Alexa login information). After you enable the skill, the Alexa App will ask you to “Discover Devices”. “Discover Devices” searches your home for smart home devices that have their skills enabled in your Alexa account. Please make sure camera is turned on and connected to the Wi-Fi network. After “Discover Devices” is complete, search in the Alexa app for Smart Home->Devices section to make sure your camera is listed in the devices. The camera name will be the same as what you entered when you paired the camera to the network in the Emerson Home Cam app. Simply Say “Alexa, show me the {Camera name} camera” to pull up the live video on your Alexa Video Device. Say “Alexa, stop video” or “Alexa, Exit” to end stream.
-Your camera name is something that Alexa can recognize.You can change the camera name in the Emerson Home Cam in the cameras settings. Be sure to “discover devices” again after changing the camera name!
