Amazon’s Ring debuts security robots including a drone
Key Points:
- Amazon’s Ring has introduced the Ring Drone Camera, a $250 indoor security drone designed to provide room-to-room surveillance where fixed cameras cannot reach.
- The drone features 148-degree peripheral vision, 360-degree rotation, and LED lights for clear video in low-light conditions, offering comprehensive "wall-to-wall coverage."
- Ring founder Jamie Siminoff emphasized that the drone addresses customer demand for security in areas beyond the reach of traditional fixed cameras, representing a new category of proactive, autonomous home protection.
- Alongside the drone, Ring launched the $1,000 Ring Rover Cam for businesses, which can investigate disturbances or perform regular property sweeps without complex wiring.
- Both devices require a subscription service costing $5 per month or $60 annually for continued use.
