Ring Always Home Cam: A security disaster in the making
2020-10-09 14:55

Other than the network delay between the Ring doorbell, the mobile app, and the Ring Chime, my biggest complaint is the speed at which Ring deploys updates.

The new Ring Always Home Cam is a security camera that rests on a base, but when called upon, it will lift off that base and fly around your home in either autonomous paths or pre-programmed patterns.

What was Ring thinking? Does it really believe consumers want a drone inside their homes to fly around at will and record everything it sees? Do the developers at Ring not see the security issues that brings up?

If Ring doesn't see the elephant in the room, then I'd have to ask why they were in the security business in the first place.

Don't get me wrong, I think the idea behind the Always Home Cam is sound, but given the state of home network security, I can only shake my head at what could come of this device.
