Ring Introduces New Security Products

Ring Stick Up Cam

Ring Co. has launched two new security cameras with upgraded features. The company also offers new smart lighting systems after acquiring Mr. Beam, a company dedicated to creating connected LED lights for use in outdoor capacities.

Ring’s new Stick Up Cam can work both indoors or outdoors, with a fully weatherproof casing, and it can also operate wirelessly thanks to a built-in rechargeable battery. It works with Ring’s existing solar panel offering 1080p HD video, two-way audio and passive infrared sensing for motion detection. The Elite version adds Power of Ethernet or wall outlet power support, as well as both wired and wireless connectivity options in case you have a power-delivery Ethernet port handy for use either indoors or out. It’s a single-cable solution that eliminates the need for recharging.

The Ring Beams LED lights come in pathway light, stairway light and spotlight flavors, providing relatively easy-to-install, energy-efficient connected LED lights that can work with older Ring devices, including security cams and the Ring video doorbell. They add additional elements of security and convenience, like allowing you to line your front walkway with lights that trigger when the system detects motion.

Ring also added that it’s going to begin shipping the Ring Alarm home security system in the spring of 2018.
