Ring announces a brand new security camera that moves 360 degrees and tilts remotely so intruders can never hide
RING has revealed a brand new security camera that leave intruders with nowhere to hide.
The latest gadget is the Amazon-owned company’s first to feature an integrated pan-tilt camera with a motorised base.
The firm has long led the way on static doorbells and cameras.
But this latest approach means the device can turn 360 degrees horizontally and and 169 degrees vertically.
Ring says the Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam is “one camera for every angle”.
“Pan-Tilt Indoor Camera is great for everyone, from pet owners who want to pan around the living room to check on their pet, to customers who want to cover multiple angles and doorways with one camera,” Ring explained.
The camera uses 1080p HD video as well as colour night vision so users never miss a thing.
As with previous Ring gizmos, you have access to a live view from the feed, the ability to talk back through it and real-time motion alerts.
Ring has also added a manual audio and privacy cover for moments you don’t want the camera to hear or see.
Of course, video storage is a paid extra that requires a Ring Protect subscription.
The annual fee increased from from £34.99 to £49.99 earlier this year, which didn’t go down well with users.
Ring’s new Pan-Tilt Indoor Camera is on sale now for £69.99.
The company has also announced new colours for its existing Indoor Camera (2nd generation).
These are:
- Blush
- Charcoal
- Starlight
The new colours are available for £49.99 from July 24.
