If you can see which most of us cannot and if you have an Alexa Show which is placed in such a way that the camera overlooks at least part of your home then yes, you could “Drop In” and then see what the camera sees as well as hear what the microphones hear. The Alexa at home or to which you Drop In will make a sound, however, so if somebody is there they are alerted and both video and audio are 2-way so if you are dropping in from another Echo Show or I assume an iPhone whoever is on the other side can probably also see you or at least hear any noise which may happen on your end. This is not meant to be used for covert surveillance.

Hello Sieghard and Richard, I’m just now chiming in on this intercom, so if this has been answered already, please forgive! Sieghard, you say you can be a mile away from home, and tell Alexa drop in, can you see who is in your home, or is this just for talking? If so, this could be a good security.

Yes, there are actually multiple apps which can turn a Sonos system into an intercom, but this is not what I meant. I was referring specifically to Alexa Drop-In which works between speakers like the Echo Dot, Show and so on, but I am pretty sure it still does not work via Sonos. For me Drop-In via Alexa is a better system because it doesn’t only work just when you are connected to your WiFi, I can sit in my office a mile away from my house and say “Alexa, drop in to living room” and it instantly connects me with our Alexa Show at home where I can then talk to my wife.
