Ring Puts An Eero Router Inside Its New Home Alarm System
Eero and Ring -- two Amazon-owned companies -- have teamed up to produce a home security system that incorporates an Eero router inside. Engadget reports: Ring COO Mike Harris said that the decision to work with Eero was not one foisted down from upon high by Amazon. Instead, Harris said that both companies saw the opportunity to work together to help leverage their individual skills in tandem. To take advantage of the technology, you'll need to sign up to Ring's new subscription product, dubbed Protect Pro. The package offers cloud video storage, professional monitoring, Alexa Guard Plus, 24/7 backup internet for your security devices (via an LTE module in the Ring Pro base station) and Eero's cybersecurity subscription product for network protection. This, at least in the US as it launches, will set you back $20 a month, or $200 per year per location up front. At the same time, Ring is launching a system dubbed "Virtual Security Guard," which connects users to third-party security guards. You'll need to pay for that separately, but you can hand over access to select Ring camera feeds to those companies who can keep a watch over your property. It is only when motion is detected that an operator can access your feed, and can speak to whoever is there to determine their intentions. Ring adds that third parties can't view motion events when the camera is disarmed, and can't download, share or save the clips of what's going on in your front yard. The first company to sign up for the program is Rapid Response, with others expected to join in the near future. The Virtual Security Guard service will require you to apply for early access, but the Ring Alarm Pro can be pre-ordered today for $250. (Since this isn't a Slashvertisement, we won't include a link to the product; you'll have to search for it yourself. Sorry not sorry.)Read more of this story at Slashdot.
