Neighborhood security company Ring has just announced a slew of new home security products at this week’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2018. The Santa Monica, California-headquartered company showcased its new connected outdoor lights and indoor/outdoor security cameras at the Las Vegas event.

The renowned maker of the famous Ring video doorbell introduced the product of its recent acquisition at CES 2018.

Battery-powered with simple installation, you can set your lights up in just a few minutes, so you and your family will never be in the dark,” Ring’s said of its new product on its website.

Ring also showcased a new security camera called Stick Up Cam at CES 2018. The battery-powered device is compatible with the Ring Solar Panel Charger and is actually designed for both indoor and outdoor conditions. Consumers shouldn’t worry about installing the Stick Up Cam outside of their homes, for it is built to be weatherproof, MacRumors has learned.

Ring’s new Stick Up Cam has support for 1080p HD video, so recorded video files are sharp. The device also features two-way audio and built-in passive infrared motion sensors that accurately detect movements, especially the suspicious ones, that are within its sensitivity zone.

“As Ring’s first -ever indoor/outdoor cameras, the revamped Stick Up Cams bring smart security inside your home. With multiple power options and versatile mounting brackets that let you install your cams anywhere, the new Stick Up Cams are your simple solution to smart security,” Ring’s description for the Stick Up Cam reads.
