It could be the wackiest product yet from Amazon - a tiny indoor drone which buzzes around people's homes as a security sentry.
Amazon says the tiny drone is "Built with privacy in mind" and operates at the direction of its customers.
British-based privacy group Big Brother Watch was more blunt, calling the cam "Arguably Amazon's most chilling surveillance product yet."
An Amazon spokesperson said of the new device: "Our customers are looking for ways to keep their homes and families safe, connected, and secure - and our new products and features, including the Always Home Cam, help do just that."
Amazon said Ring indoor cameras are not subject to law enforcement requests and have no microphone to record audio.
