Amazon to acquire Ring video doorbell maker, cracking open the door in home security market

Was thinking about this for awhile. None have the first gen. Reviews aren't stellar. Is it worth $99?
 
Somebody posted about Amazon doing entire home security systems at differing price points. I can't seem to locate the thread....anyone remember that?
 
Amazon and Google are 2 scary ass companies...all up in your business....make Microsoft and Apple look like they are playing games
 
Ring’s updates make its devices and app smarter and more efficient

Ring security systems are getting a slew of improvements, many via updates to the app that helps customers monitor activity around doorsteps, porches and other locations equipped with Ring doorbells and cameras.

Several of the features announced apply primarily to Ring customers who subscribe to a Ring Protect Plan, which enables storage of recording triggered by motion near a Ring doorbell or webcam. These innovations should make it easier to monitor a home and also make Ring devices more energy efficient.

Available now is a camera preview feature that provides recent images from all Ring devices on one screen. If you see something you wish to investigate further, you simply click on that image to get a dashboard view of the device that captured it.

A timeline feature, scheduled to begin rolling out in November, will allow customers to scroll through recordings on a color-coded timeline, which should help them figure out what happened where and when.

Ring also announced a suite of Smart Alert features designed to make alerts to Ring Protect subscribers more relevant and improve battery life of devices by using cloud-based video analysis to reduce recordings triggered by false alarms. The initial set of Smart Alert features, expected to appear in early 2019, include:

  • Motion Verification: New to battery-powered Ring devices, this feature is specifically designed to reduce false alarms.
  • Motion Stop: If activity is deemed unimportant, Ring devices will stop recording.
  • Person Detection: Video analysis will be able to tell whether a person, animal or item is causing motion, and customers can choose to ignore motion instigators that don’t interest them.
  • Motion Zones: Also new to battery-powered devices, this feature lets customers designate areas they wish to monitor closely.

    Also in the works for 2019:
    • Live Camera Previews: When a Ring device detects motion of concern, it will immediately begin streaming live images to the Ring app dashboard.
    • Audible Announcements: Wired Ring devices will be able to issue voice alerts through their speaker, telling people they are being monitored.
    • Timestamps: Ring Protect Plan subscribers will be able to put date and time on shared video recordings.
    • Bulk downloads: Ring Protect Plan subscribers will be able to download all of their recordings from Ring.com with just a few clicks.
    Ring also plans to offer Protect Plan subscribers the option of continuous recording from wired devices for an additional fee. All customers will have access, free of charge, to still images captured throughout the day during gaps between motion-triggered recordings.

pretty soon you'll be able to control your entire home with Amazon products, the flood light is dope too. Whole foods is will be ringing the doorbell and you can open the door and tell them to put that shit away in the fridge lol
 
Last year on Halloween the Ring door bell could not handle the demand. So far its doing good my shit still up.

A lot of Mexicans out side
 
Most people have no idea of the things Amazon is into. Amazon actually sells auto parts. Parts you can't buy from Advanced Auto or similar stores.

I needed an undercarriage air scoop, couldnt find one anywhere, people telling me that's a dealers direct item. A buddy of mine told me to try Amazon. Had the part in 2 days.
 
Ring should have made this same device for cars and trucks, as a way to record and prevent break-ins.
prolly would have gotten 3 or 4 billion.
