Be skeptical of Ring's indoor security drone
The author of the article says that a network of regular security cameras is a better solution.  He must not be married.<p>There&#x27;s no way my wife would allow all those wires everywhere.  And the wireless security cameras are a pain because you have to remember to recharge them.<p>Now, before the wannabe This Old House crowd starts up with &quot;You just put the wires in the walls,&quot; consider that 43% of Americans rent their homes, and the number is even higher in other countries.  The vast majority of landlords won&#x27;t allow you to run wires in the walls.<p>That said, there&#x27;s NFW I would have one of these in my house because I don&#x27;t trust any tech company to have a camera in my house.<p>It&#x27;s marketed as a security device, but it&#x27;s not like a toy quadcopter is going to stop an intruder any better than a non-flying camera.

Perhaps in the not-too-distant future, your Homepod can detect the dog barking and hit you with a text message.
