First announced last year, Amazon will start selling its Ring Always Home Cam starting today, September 28, alongside the new Ring Alarm Pro, the Blink video doorbell and several other products. There are just two caveats:Access to the Ring Always Home Cam is invite-only at the moment, and it won't be available until later this year.
The new Ring Always Home Cam is a self-contained indoor security camera that's essentially the equivalent of a tethered flying drone with a Ring Camera on the bottom. With it, you can keep an eye on what's going on inside your home even when you're away. That's because the device streams 1080p video to your smartphone through the Ring app, letting you scan for intruders or make sure you haven't left the stove on at all times.
Owners can also set up pre-selected paths the drone can fly on. The device further integrates with a Ring Alarm security system so that if your alarm goes off, the drone will fly a pre-set course to check on what's going on. You also don't have to worry about the Ring Always Home Cam running out of battery while you're away; once it's finished flying around your home, the drone will automatically return to its dock to recharge like many modern robot vacuums today.
