    At least this one is supposedly for inside home and isn’t there to spy on random passersby and delivery drivers outside your house.

    It looks like it is being sold as a way to monitor employees at your business. So that’s gonna be fun to see in a couple years.

    I bet police departments get access to the drone to use in an “emergency” as well.

    I also like this section on their website:

    Privacy in your control.

    Ring Robotics is designed with privacy in mind. You can turn it off whenever you want.

    That’s their entire privacy messaging: you can choose to not use the product.

    You know what would also work indoors and be less noisy: little spider drones that cling to ceilings and walls. Since they are going full nightmare dystopia anyway, might as well give them glowing red eyes.

      What if they’re little spider drones that do a happy little dance while upside down?

      They also record you changing clothes

      If you do that we might as well just go full Minority Report and start replacing eyes.

    It’s going to be sick to have crisp high res footage of your place getting robbed.

    you can get a pet with all its shots for like half of that, and it won’t make noises in the middle of the night like your home is being swarmed by angry bees.

      Yeah but a labradoodle doesn’t secretly map the interior of your home for insidious parastatal surveillance purposes.

    Getting clocked by my home security drone hovering outside my bedroom when I inevitably wake up at 2 am to pee sounds like fun.
