Ring Plans Major Outdoor Lighting Push

Los Angeles-based Ring, the developer of the ubiquitous video doorbells and security camera products, is planning a major push into outdoor lighting, according to documents filed with the FCC. Those documents--first uncovered by blogger Dave Zatz--describe, in detail, all of the planned "Ring Beams Spotlight" products, which include such features are motion detection, cameras, and "connected" sensors. Ring has not yet announced those products or availability officially. The vast trove of FCC documents uncovered by Zatz are currently unavailable due to the U.S. government shutdown, but had detailed product specs, drawings and photos, and more of the new Ring Beams products. Ring is now part of Amazon.
