Amazon has debuted its Ring Always Home Cam, an autonomous drone-style camera that can fly around the home to record disturbances when the resident is away.
Connected to a series of sensors in the home, the flying security camera is designed to automatically fly to predetermined areas in the user's residence if one of the sensors is triggered by a potential break-in.
When the sensors are triggered, the owner will receive a smartphone alert that allows them to watch the footage live.
A camera is embedded into the lower part of a central rod, which is attached to a flat, fan-like element on the top of the device that allows it to fly. When not in use, the drone-like device is designed to fit snug inside a cubic dock with a central opening. Once activated, it rises up from the dock and flies on its pre-set path.

The Ring Always Home Cam cannot be controlled manually and will only fly where the user has programmed it to.
