With a compatible Ring Protect Plan subscription , you can review, save, and share Ring videos. That’s why I’m excited to announce the Ring Always Home Cam, a new way to look after the home and provide multiple viewpoints with one device. This autonomous indoor security camera flies your chosen, personalized paths so that you can easily check in on your home for peace of mind—like whether someone left a window open or forgot to turn the stove off. We wanted to create one camera that could give users the flexibility of every viewpoint they want around the home, while delivering on our founding principles of privacy and security. The camera only records in-flight, and the drone makes an audible noise, so it’s clear when footage is recording.

As far as privacy goes, the Always Home Cam's camera is hidden when it's docked and should only begin to record when it leaves the dock and flies around your house. It's designed to hum so you know when it's flying and recording. The camera is also equipped with "obstacle avoidance technology," so it should avoid things in its path. If it does sense an obstacle in the way of its normal path, the camera will return to its dock and send an alert, letting you know it couldn't complete its pass around your home. Limp argues that the Ring drone has at least a couple automatic privacy features. Whether it’s flying towards someone entering your house from the outside, or someone inside the home who would prefer not to be surveilled, the drone will announce itself.

There’s also the fact that most of the products launching this year were dreamt up in 2019 or earlier. Back then, tech companies had a different vision of the future in mind, or at least different ideas of what the “lifestyle” images in their 2020 product marketing kits would look like. It is the essential source of information and ideas that make sense of a world in constant transformation. The WIRED conversation illuminates how technology is changing every aspect of our lives—from culture to business, science to design. The breakthroughs and innovations that we uncover lead to new ways of thinking, new connections, and new industries. Along with this hardware announcement, Ring says you'll be able to turn on end-to-end encryption in the Ring app's Control Center "later this year" in an effort to improve the security of its devices.

These weatherproof devices can keep a watchful eye on your property and let you get on with life. You may be excited about the launch of Ring’s Always Home Cam, we are too. This is a brand new type of device that is entering the home security market, and that hasn’t happened in quite some time. The Always Home cam won’t be buzzing inside your home 24/7, but still begs to question just how much control you’ll have over it.

Ring uses the example of during setup of the camera, you'll be asked to take two still pictures of an area in the camera's view that oversees a garage door. The camera will remember that, and send you alerts when the door has been opened or closed. Create a whole-home security system with motion-activated lights with smart controls. From iPads to mirrorless cameras, here are the shiniest deals we could find from this popular retailer.

The Always Home Cam is an indoor-only camera attached to a drone with enclosed propellers. It streams and records to the Ring app, is fully autonomous and can be commanded to fly on-demand to pre-set locations through the app or programmed to take off when Ring Alarm detects a disturbance. Ring says the resolution of the camera has increased to 1400 x 1400 HD, which is a bump up from the 1080p resolution it was when it was first announced. Ring Doorbells and Cameras can send you instant alerts when someone’s at your door or motion is detected. Keep an eye on what matters with live HD video and greet visitors with Two-Way Talk.

Plus, if you’ve already got a Ring security system, being able to add the Always Home as another part of the Ring ecosystem will allow you to build an overall stronger smart security system. The camera will only take to the sky when it's triggered by a Ring Alarm sensor, or by you through the Ring app on your phone. Once it leaves its charging cradle, it'll fly a predetermined path, capturing video along the way, and then return to its dock.

Known for its doorbell cameras, Ring has expanded its equipment lineup to cover everything from indoor cameras and security sensors to smart outdoor lighting and solar-powered equipment. Ring has also added a video encryption page to its Control Center privacy and security landing page. After end-to-end encryption becomes available later this year, customers should be able to turn on the feature for each individual compatible device. Ring will be providing a list of compatible devices later this year. Ring Alarm systems let you monitor entrances and indoor spaces, and detect certain safety hazards. Enroll in Ring Alarm professional monitoring to request dispatch of emergency responders when your Ring Alarm is triggered.

The camera will only start recording when the device leaves the base and starts flying via one of the preset paths. Here at Ring, I’m constantly challenging myself and our teams to push the boundaries of innovation when it comes to delivering new products and services to our customers. That might mean a new category of devices, a next generation of a product we’ve already created, or tweaks to the user experience. But one thing is constant—we want to provide real solutions to real problems our customers face.

We want to make it easy for our customers to be in control of their home security while maintaining privacy. Always Home Cam uses unique technologies to do that in a way that has never been done before and is affordable and easy-to-use for our customers. Safety was also a primary consideration when designing the Always Home Cam. Obstacle avoidance technology allows it to avoid unexpected objects as it moves on the pre-set paths, and its small size, lightweight design and shrouded propellers enable it to move safely throughout the home.

It includes all of the standard Ring subscription features, along with professional monitoring of your home's security system, plus 3GB of cellular data per month. You also get all of the premium features offered by Eero, such as online threat protection. That data can be used when the internet goes out at home to continue recording the cameras, or provide brief relief to entertain your kids or let you finish work. You'll pay $3 per GB over the 3GB limit, which can add up fast. The Ring Always Home Cam also easily integrates with Ring Alarm—our home security system—charting a new path forward not just for how people use security cameras, but also for the benefits of a home alarm system.

Without taking the Always Home Cam for a spin, it’s tough to say exactly how well the drone works and whether or not it makes sense for the typical family to purchase. But for what we’ve seen so far, we’re confident in going with a solid thumb-up for the time being. The price is right, the promised tech is solid, and adding a mobile layer to an existing Ring system is a great idea. There are plenty of surveillance drones on the market, but the prices are more aligned with the above-mentioned five-figure deal. One of the best things about the Always Home Cam is that it makes drone security affordable for the average consumer.

When Ring Alarm is triggered while in Away Mode, the Always Home Cam will automatically fly a set path to see what’s happening. You can easily stream video while the camera is in-flight via the Ring App, making sure that you’re in the know when it comes to everything happening at home.
