We got the first public demo of Amazon’s flying indoor security camera, the Always Home Cam, at CES 2023, plus some hands-on time with the autonomous drone designed for inside your home. The company says the $250 camera might ship in 2024, but in the meantime, you can buy its new Ring Car Cam and old (but new again) Ring Peephole Doorbell camera. #amazon #ring #ces

I still don't get the use case for this, isn't amazon devices business making a loss?
You WILL allow the data capture devices into your most intimate spaces.
I don't know if it's me, but seeing and hearing a camera flying seems easier to avoid than hidden cameras…
Audio is blown out
I miss The Verge showfloor tours, with the reporters having The Verge reporter mic on.
Let's bring that back Nilay
Pass
Fix your microphone
There are tools that will do a reasonable job of removing distortion. Or you could, you know, set the record level right in the first place. But presenting this video without any remediation was not a good plan.
That new Verge mic definitely looks awesome, but guys, you gotta do something about the gain on that mic… Listening with headphones, it hurt my ears… 😢
Literally 1984
It's over
Terrible mic technique.
Awful bloody microphone sound.
Well this is stupid…
the peephole cam seems pretty cool
Wasn't Ring the company known for selling the data of your arrival and leave times to advertisers? Sounds like a good idea to let them navigate your house and be in your car.
What about dogs that can jump high?
The is how the Empire developed Imperial Droid probes. lol
Content creators are gonna use this instead to make videos
I don’t care, I want one
How much more does the intel/security state think we'll pay for our own dystopian surveillance state?
Can't get one. Drones make my dog go insane. He'd absolutely destroy the house to get at it lol
flying plastic
fly in your neighbor window
How does a flying drone security camera "sound gimmicky"?!
RING = COPS … Duck these guys.
It still boggles my mind that people have comprehensive home surveillance watching their own house, even when they’re in (when you see some “hilarious” happening that their camera recorded showing up on TikTok etc). When you just know it’s entirely possible it’s being sent and stored elsewhere where anyone now or in future can access or hack access to that footage. No privacy and they invite that into their home. I just don’t get it.
how bad could you set up a microphone and set audio levels
I predict unintended CAT toy😁
Yeah, no.
You always do such great work Jennifer!
Can hardly wait to purchase this
dogs are not bothered by the flying cam, and cats don’t care? Waiting on cat ring always home hunting videos 🤣
I like it, hopefully it’s gonna be $199 at launch.
cat : sounds fun!
Host doesn't need to shout all the time.
"it's having a bit of trouble with mirrors and windows"
Well it's good that those are pretty uncommon in homes. Who has mirrors hanging in their home? I know my home has no windows whatsoever…
I seriously tried to invent something like this for stores a long time ago. The concept is that you walk into a large store like a Supermarket, Home Depot or Best Buy, then ask the drone what you are looking for. It would direct you to the item. It would also let you know if it is in stock, the price, and show you similar items. Unfortunately, it was too expensive to pull off. LIDAR was still in it's infancy.
