Amazon’s Ring finally debuts its in-car security camera
Amazon owns the home security and smart home business Ring LLC. The Ring Car Cam is now accessible for preorder, more than two years after it was first announced. The company’s first dashboard security camera is now available for purchase at Amazon.com or Ring.com for $199.99, a $50 discount off the list price. It will start shipping to US customers on February 15.
The new Ring Car Cam, which will be available later this year, adopts a novel strategy for the company by taking its security features to the road. A set of HD cameras are housed inside the modern design that sits on the dashboard and faces both into and out of the vehicle.
The night vision-enhanced wide-angle lenses encompass the road and the interior of the vehicle to guard against both accidents and break-ins. Ring adds its customary software to the hardware to enhance the Car Cam interaction.
Real-time notifications are powered by motion alerts, and a live view function that works well with two-way chat is also included.
Not to mention that the entire setup is Alexa-compatible, so one can ask the voice assistant to automatically record film to capture anything—including anything one has just passed on the road.
While driving, video can be automatically or manually recorded. If users purchase a Ring Protect Go plan, which includes LTE connectivity and costs $6 per month or $60 per year, they can access a live feed from the camera while they’re not in the car.
Additionally, the subscription includes 180 days of cloud storage for videos as well as real-time incident alerts in the Ring app. When the camera is linked to Wi-Fi, such as when parked in the driveway or via the hotspot on the phone, it can access local storage.

When the camera is linked to Wi-Fi, such as when parked in the driveway or via the hotspot on your phone, it can access local storage. When using the Traffic Stop feature of the Ring Car Cam, users can instantly begin recording during a stop or after an accident, for example, by saying “Alexa, record.”
The OBD-II port on the vehicle serves as the device’s power source. The cable is neatly secured between the windscreen and the dashboard with the aid of a tool that attaches to the windscreen.
For watching both recorded and live video from its two cameras, the camera integrates with the Ring app. For two-way communication from the automobile or to get in touch with others who are in the car, one may also utilize the built-in microphone and speaker.
