Ring Adds 3D Motion Detection, Privacy Option to Floodlight Cam

Ring is taking preorders for the Floodlight Cam Wired Pro ($249), an outdoor security camera with 3D motion detection, a 110 dB siren and color night vision, said the company Wednesday. 3D motion detection lets homeowners customize areas of their property for monitoring by selecting distance thresholds. A radar sensor determines when an object crosses the distance threshold by measuring its specific distance from the camera, and the camera activates once that threshold is crossed, sending homeowners a motion alert, it said. Its “bird’s eye view” feature is an aerial map view of motion events in front of the floodlight camera showing the path visitors take when visiting the property, the company said. Audio+ has an array mic with enhanced audio and echo cancellation to provide more distinct sound, it said. Privacy zones exclude areas in the camera field of view from video recording. Price of the original Ring Floodlight Cam dropped to $199.
