I'm not sure who the Amazon Ring Drone Cam is for…
Amazon's Ring security drone looks nifty! But I'm not sure this is the kind of security I need.
Amazon has introduced a new Ring Drone Cam, designed for indoor security checks and aimed at scaring off potential burglars. The device, which will be available for $249 starting in January, can fly around the home for 8 minutes before returning to its charging dock. It operates in preset patrol paths within the property and is intended to replace the need for a network of indoor cameras.
While the drone cam can be activated by security alerts from existing Ring cameras or doorbells, its effectiveness may be limited for those who already have comprehensive home security systems. Some experts believe the Ring Drone Cam is geared towards individuals who are highly security-conscious, perhaps public figures or those living in high-crime areas.
However, given the decreasing burglary rates, many people may not find this device necessary. Despite its utility, the drone's practical applications are debatable, especially when considering its price point compared to more robust security solutions.
