Ring Drone Cam: Amazon's Indoor Flying Camera Patrols Your Home

How does the Ring Drone Cam work with alarms?

The drone connects to the home's smart security system and to fire sensors. If one of them goes off, it can launch automatically, head straight to the source of the danger or the spot you've marked, and stream what it sees live to the user.

That's the pitch: instead of getting an alert and wondering what triggered it, you get a view of the room.

The camera records video at up to 2K resolution and has a wide 148-degree field of view. It can also rotate through 360 degrees, so it can look around a room from every angle.

Two built-in lights switch on automatically in dark rooms, which gives it a clear night view.

The source material doesn't mention a price, a release date or which countries will get it, so those details are still unknown. The idea itself is simple enough: one camera that goes where the problem is, rather than several fixed ones waiting for something to walk past.
