Amazon Ring Always Home Cam

Ring Always Home Cam is an autonomous drone developed by Amazon that is equipped with a security camera that can fly around customers' homes on pre-programmed routes streaming video.

Initially announced in September 2020, Ring Always Home Cam provides 1440x1440 HD video, is controlled by the Ring app and flies along custom flight paths so you can see what’s happening around your home no matter where you are. 

Amazon says the camera never records when the device is docked and only records during trained flight paths.
