Ring's newly announced robot drone - a connected device that flies around homes taking security footage - is causing privacy experts' concerns to take off.
The new device has also sparked a firestorm of privacy concerns on Twitter about how Ring - whose connected doorbells have already created plenty of privacy controversies - will collect, use and share the collected data.
"Coupled with Ring's controversial privacy practices, the adoption of the drone could be low. However, those that have already embraced the concept of in-house security cameras are likely to be excited. The prospect of having a single drone monitor your house instead of multiple individual cameras could be alluring."
Ring for its part said that it has built privacy features into the physical design of the Always Home Cam.
The device has also been designed to hum at a certain volume, so it's clear that the camera is in motion and recording, said Ring.
