Does Ring have drones?
If you’ve been keeping up with the latest in home security, you may have heard of Ring, the company that makes a doorbell with a camera that allows you to see and speak to visitors from your smartphone. But what you may not know is that Ring has been working on drones.
That’s right, Ring is developing drones that will be able to fly around your property and give you a bird’s eye view of what’s going on. The company has been tight-lipped about the project, but some leaked documents suggest that the drones will be autonomous and able to take off and land on their own.
It’s not clear when Ring plans to release these drones, but it’s safe to say that they could change the way we think about home security. So far, there have been no reports of accidents or injuries involving Ring’s drones, but as with any new technology, there are always concerns about safety.
