Ring’s Mobile Security Trailer provides 360-degree coverage anywhere

6 days ago 14

Ring is introducing a host of new security devices and technologies, including a new line of security cameras and a mobile trailer equipped with a camera that can cover large areas. While these devices were developed mostly for enterprise-level security, they can be purchased and used for home and other uses as well.

To begin, a line of new Ring Elite 4K security devices will come in four configurations: a 140-degree viewing angle using two cameras at $499.99; a 200-degree viewing angle using three cameras at $599.99; a 290-degree viewing angle using five cameras (that you can mount on the corner of a building to see both sides) for $749.99; and a Ring Elite that gives you a full 360-degree view using six cameras for $999.99. The devices will be available starting this spring.

If you need movable security, the Mobile Security Trailer offers a portable device with a solar-powered battery and built-in LTE connectivity (with an appropriate Ring subscription) that includes the 4K Ring Elite with 360-degree viewing using six cams. Besides the solar battery, the Trailer can use line power as well, and the unit can be used on any mobile flat surface such as a trailer, or as a standalone. The Trailer will also be available starting this spring.

Other upcoming devices include a Ring Car Alarm, with built-in GPS and connectivity using Amazon’s Sidewalk network, that is available for preorder, and a line of smart sensors, also based on Sidewalk, which will be available in March.

The sensors will offer security enhancements, such as pet-aware motion sensors and recognizing the sound of breaking glass, along with routines for devices such as smart plugs, light switches, fan controls, and light remotes.

Ring is bringing two new intelligence features to its security cameras: AI Unusual Event Alert and Active Warnings. According to the company, the former “learns and adapts to everyday routine patterns at your property” so that it can warn you if anything out of the ordinary is happening — for example, if there is unusual movement when everyone in the household is out at work.

With Active Warnings, when the camera detects a person, it will provide context-aware audio warnings when necessary based on that person’s location and actions. Both these features are available if you have a compatible Ring subscription plan and have enabled Video Descriptions.
