Amazon at CES 2023: all announcements
Ring Car Cam is a dual camera controlled by the Ring App, unique in that it records both when the car is in motion and when it is turned off. When the car is parked, Car Cam’s intelligent sensors can detect events in and around the vehicle. If an event is detected, such as a break-in, the camera starts recording and sends a real-time alert to the Ring app. At that point it is possible to observe live what is happening or get in touch with whoever is in the car. Car Cam also has a unique call feature Traffic Stop. Just say “Alexa, record” and the camera will record what’s happening, even if the car is parked.
