Amazon unveils a couple new Ring cameras that cost less than $100

Alongside the deluge of Echo devices Amazon announced during its autumn hardware event on Wednesday, the company unveiled two new security cameras from its Ring subsidiary: the Ring Indoor Cam and a refreshed model of the Ring Stick Up Cam.

[...] On the software side of things, Ring's cameras and video door bells will soon support a new feature called "Home Mode" that Amazon says will prevent Ring products from recording audio and video while you're home. That will also arrive in November. The company also demoed a feature that will allow the Alexa voice assistant to answer visitors through a Ring doorbell in a "conversational" manner—it could ask a delivery person to leave a package, for instance. Amazon says this will come first to the Ring Video Doorbell Elite (which isn't battery-powered) next year.

[...] Finally, there's the Ring Fetch, which is a connected dog tag and tracker. This lets you geofence your yard and will ping you when your furry friend leaves a set perimeter. Again, Amazon didn't go too hard on the details here but says this will release next year.

Forget Ring Fetch, I'm waiting for the PeopleCam for each family member to wear.
