For those seeking robust and adaptable security solutions, Ring is expanding its portfolio with several innovative products designed for both commercial and residential use. The centerpiece of this launch is a new series of high-definition cameras and a uniquely portable surveillance trailer, offering users unprecedented flexibility in monitoring their property.
The new Ring Elite 4K security camera system arrives in four distinct configurations to suit various coverage needs. The entry model provides a 140-degree field of view using two cameras, priced at $499.99. Stepping up, a three-camera setup offers a 200-degree view for $599.99. For more comprehensive coverage, a five-camera package delivers a 290-degree angle, ideal for mounting on a building corner to monitor two sides, costing $749.99. The flagship model achieves a complete 360-degree panoramic view utilizing six cameras, available for $999.99. All these configurations are scheduled to become available this spring.
For situations requiring temporary or mobile surveillance, Ring introduces the Mobile Security Trailer. This portable unit is equipped with a solar-powered battery and built-in LTE connectivity, which requires a corresponding Ring subscription plan. It features the same six-camera 4K Elite system for full 360-degree coverage. Beyond solar power, the trailer can also plug into a standard electrical outlet. It’s designed for use on any flat mobile surface, like a trailer bed, or can operate as a standalone station. This mobile security option is also slated for a spring release.
The company’s roadmap includes additional devices broadening its ecosystem. A Ring Car Alarm, featuring integrated GPS and connectivity via Amazon’s Sidewalk network, is currently open for pre-order. Furthermore, a new line of smart sensors, also leveraging the Sidewalk network, will launch in March. These sensors promise advanced capabilities like pet-aware motion detection and the ability to recognize the sound of breaking glass. They will also support automation routines for compatible smart devices such as plugs, light switches, fan controllers, and light remotes.
Enhancing the intelligence of its camera systems, Ring is rolling out two new software features: AI Unusual Event Alert and Active Warnings. The AI Unusual Event Alert is designed to learn the typical patterns of activity at a property. Over time, it can identify and notify users of anomalies, such as detecting movement when the household is known to be empty. The Active Warnings feature provides context-aware audio alerts. When a camera identifies a person, it can deliver spoken warnings tailored to the individual’s specific location and actions. Access to these intelligent features requires a compatible Ring subscription plan with Video Descriptions enabled.
