Amazon’s Ring has just unveiled a new product.

Ring announced it has created a new surveillance drone that will soon be on the market.

The drones will start at $250 and will be able to fly around inside of homes to conduct surveillance.

Here’s a first look at the drone:

CNBC reported more on the Ring’s new drones:

Amazon’s Ring is going deeper into surveillance with an indoor drone for home monitoring and an autonomous robot designed to patrol businesses.

The company on Tuesday unveiled the $250 Ring Drone Cam, a security camera that can fly from room to room, including upstairs, as well as capture footage during the day or at night. When an alarm or sensor on windows, doors and home security devices is triggered, the textbook-sized drone travels a preset path to investigate suspicious activity. Users can also deploy the drone at any time, the company said.

At a demo in New York on Monday, Ring CEO Jamie Siminoff said the drone could be used as a home monitoring tool and as a crime “deterrent” due to the device’s built-in LED lights.

“If someone is going around your house at night, and your motion detector goes off on your Ring doorbell, imagine if you see spotlights and something flying across the window,” Siminoff said. “You’re probably not going to go into that house.”

The drone, which can fly up to eight minutes at a time before autonomously returning to its charging dock, has two plastic-encased propellers that emit a loud buzz when it’s airborne.

Here’s how people reacted to the new release:

This was funny:

Ring released the following notes on their drone:

This device has not been authorized as required by the rules of the Federal Communications Commission. This device is not, and may not be, offered for sale or lease, or sold or leased, until authorization is obtained.
To have the best experience using and setting up Ring Drone Cam, here’s what we want you to know:

Ring Drone Cam performs best in environments with varied visual detail. Surfaces that are highly reflective like polished marble or wet tile, plain and featureless like blank matte walls, or transparent like frameless glass and mirrors may disrupt performance.

Up to 8 minutes of flight time tested with a new, fully-charged battery under controlled conditions. Actual flight time will vary based on environment, usage, and battery condition. Battery performance naturally decreases over time with usage.

During initial setup, you’ll need to carry the device through your home to create a map of your space.

Docking station requires a flat surface and cannot be mounted to a wall.
