Instead of installing home security cameras all over the house, how about a single camera that flies to the source of the problem?The Ring Always Home Cam is a drone that gives you a bird's eye view of your home no matter where you are. It is priced at $249 when it starts shipping.

The Ring Always Home Cam drone uses a quadcopter design, with the rotor housed in a protective basket. Underneath the rotor is a compartment that holds the battery and 1080p camera. When it needs to be recharged, the drone docks on a white pedestal. It looks quite small, but this is necessary if one plans to fly it around the house.

It is also equipped with obstacle avoidance technology, so it will not run into walls or other obstacles. The first time you use this device, it maps out your house so you can tell it to go to a specific room.

If a ring alarm system is used, the drone can be programmed to automatically fly to the location where the disturbance is detected. This is sure to be a rude surprise to an intruder or teen trying to break into a home. The drone can also be manually flown to check on the situation while the person is away.

We will add more details about the Ring Always Home Cam as they become available. It is an interesting idea, but we will wait and see more about its practical use. Other companies are experimenting with this concept with outdoor drones, but Ring's drone is less expensive, which makes it more intriguing and a bit creepy. [According to The Verge, the Ring Always Home Cam will cost $249 and will ship next year. However, the drone must receive FCC approval before it can be released.
