Ring launches security drone with camera for the home – Image and sound – News

Amazon subsidiary Ring comes with the Always Home Cam, a security drone with a camera and internet connection for the home. For example, users can fly the drone through the house when they are not at home to see if everything is okay.

The drone consists of a dock for charging that blocks the view of the camera during charging and the drone itself, according to the announcement. Users can set the drone to follow a set path around the house or control the drone. The flying security camera has object detection to avoid collisions.

The camera can turn on automatically when a linked Ring system triggers an alarm, but according to Amazon, it is also the intention to check whether everything in the house is in order if users have forgotten to switch off appliances in the kitchen, for example.

Amazon’s subsidiary believes that privacy is safeguarded by making the engines sound so that roommates hear the drone approaching during an inspection. Ring spent two years on the development. The company wants to market the drone next year and expects to charge $ 250 for it.
