Ring Always Home Cam: drone-guard for $250

Amazon Corporation releases several new gadgets to the market daily. And we have already gotten used to the fact that most of them are simply not worth attention. However, the Ring Always Home Cam drone-guard managed to attract attention. The gadget not only interested but also sparked a strong desire to test the device. Just $250 and such in-demand functionality.

It’s a pity that the drone will not go on sale before 2021. Probably, Chinese manufacturers will ‘grab the idea’ and offer us something similar in a more budget segment. But I would like to see a gadget from Amazon. Voice control, interaction with the “smart home” system — such an option looks much more attractive even in thought.

What is Ring Always Home Cam

In fact, it is an ordinary quadcopter with a built-in camera. The only difference is that the gadget can operate automatically according to a pre-set program. The presence of communication tools inside the device allows transmitting video and photos to the owner’s mobile device in real-time.

Amazon has not announced the weight and dimensions, but from the photo, it is clear that the device looks very similar to a cooler for a computer system unit — 120×120 millimeters. The drone comes with a docking station, which serves as a charger for the device and a storage unit.

The small and lightweight Ring Always Home Cam drone is configured via a smartphone. Similar to a robotic vacuum cleaner, the gadget can create a floor plan of the premises — where it will serve. Then, the user simply draws the flight plan (route, time, and shooting tasks) for the drone.

What is the purpose of Ring Always Home Cam

Officially, Amazon stated about force majeure situations faced by apartment or house owners. For example, while at work, you can check if the iron is turned off and if all the taps are closed in the bathroom. Apparently, such a banal functionality is mentioned to avoid dissatisfaction from privacy advocates.

It’s not hard to guess that the drone is capable of more interesting operations. Even despite the fact that the gadget makes a loud noise during flight. Again, this is done intentionally to avoid accusations from human rights activists.

How can Ring Always Home Cam be used

Everything depends directly on the software provided by the manufacturer for this drone. The device can simply fly from point A to point B and transmit what it sees to the owner’s smartphone. The same forgotten iron. Or it can be configured for tracking people, objects, or valuables. Ring Always Home Cam will be very useful in government, medical, and school institutions. The device doesn’t even need to follow anything. Its movement under the ceiling will prevent many people from wanting to break or steal something, as an example.

In general, such a miniature and inexpensive device has a big future. And it’s unclear why the drone wasn’t released to the market earlier. I really want to see the novelty on store shelves, hold it in my hands, and test it. Let’s hope that our dreams will come true very soon.
