“#Amazon unveils security drone to fly around your home<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Amazon isn\u2019t content to hear everything you say with its smart speakers. It now wants to see inside your home, too.<\/p>\n

The e-tail juggernaut unveiled a slew of new products at its annual fall hardware event on Thursday, including a security drone that flies around people\u2019s homes on preset flight paths.<\/p>\n

The latest version of Amazon\u2019s Ring security camera, called the \u201cAlways Home Cam,\u201d docks into a base that looks a bit like an App<\/a>le TV, and launches its drone to patrol when its sensors are triggered after its owner has put it in \u201caway\u201d mode.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsers can check if the oven was left on, the doors are locked, or the curling iron was left on with this compact, lightweight, autonomously flying indoor camera that flies predetermined paths set by the user, providing greater visibility when no one is home,\u201d Amazon explained.<\/p>\n

A commercial for the drone<\/a> shows a burglar breaking into a house, triggering a Ring sensor that alerts the drone to investigate the scene. At the same time, the homeowner receives an alert on his phone and watches the scene unfold, just in time to see the burglar scared off by the camera.<\/p>\n

The device caused a stir on Twitter<\/a>, with users joking about the dystopian implications.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause what your home really needs is an autonomous indoor <\/span>drone<\/span> that lets <\/span>Amazon<\/span> see everything you own,\u201d one user wrote<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAn internet connected <\/span>drone<\/span> camera for your home, owned by <\/span>Amazon,\u201d another tweeted<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0\u201cThis definitely won\u2019t be a privacy nightmare *at all*.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Amazon insisted that the camera is designed to film only while it is in flight, saying that the lens is otherwise blocked when it\u2019s docked. The company added that it designed the drone\u2019s propellers to make a lot of noise during flight so that if someone happens to be inside when it flies by, they can hear it coming.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s built to be loud so it\u2019s privacy you can hear,\u201d Ring president Leila Rouhi said during the presentation.<\/p>\n

The $250 flying camera will go on sale in 2021, Amazon said. The video stream is accessible via the Ring app.<\/p>\n

Amazon acquired Ring, known for its home security products, in 2018.<\/p>\n

The Seattle company also showed off its latest generation of Echo speakers during Thursday\u2019s event, announcing that it was moving on from its traditional hockey puck shape to a more spherical design.<\/p>\n

The Amazon Fire TV is also getting an update, with HDR and Dolby Atmos, as well as a revamped user interface that will replace Prime Video\u2019s clunky software.<\/p>\n

The e-tail giant is rolling out a new streaming gaming service called Luna which is similar to Google Statia. It will cost $5.99 per month and will play game<\/a>s such as \u201cAssassin\u2019s Creed.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
