The device only records when in flight, and the camera is physically blocked while sitting in the base. It’s also loud enough to hear when it’s in motion, and hums at a certain volume so it’s clear the camera is recording.

Ring also said that later this year, customers will be able to turn on video end-to-end encryption for compatible devices from the Ring Control Center.

At launch, it will only be available in the US.

However, it is also likely to provoke a huge discussion around privacy and the future role of technology in the home.

It can also start recording video if a driver is pulled over while on a journey, potentially allowing them to record an interaction. Source: Expert Reviews
