Ring has officially revealed the Outdoor Cam Plus — a premium security camera offering Ring’s best image quality ever. Designed to capture 2K footage and with a wide field of view, it should be an excellent option for folks seeking a robust way to protect their home. The Outdoor Cam Plus will cost $99 and begins shipping on March 26.

Unlike the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro and Spotlight Cam Plus, which offer a 1080p resolution, the Outdoor Cam Plus provides crisp 2K images. This is the highest resolution we’ve seen in this type of camera from Ring, making it a big upgrade over its existing lineup. The team has also equipped it with Low-Light Sight, a technology that ensures a clear, colorful view even when the sun goes down.

Built for both indoor and outdoor use, it features a weather-resistant frame, a mount that works on both walls or ceilings, and is available in both battery or plug-in formats. Better yet, it works with the existing solar panel accessory to extend its battery life.

Ring Home Premium members will unlock 24/7 recording and Smart Video Search — allowing you to quickly find video clips using AI. Membership costs $20 per month or $200 per year. Of course, you can also opt for Basic or Standard subscriptions, which cost less but don’t get you the two features mentioned above. Instead, they unlock extended video history, person and package alerts, and video preview alerts.

Preorders for the Ring Outdoor Cam Plus are now open ahead of its March 26 release. It looks like a solid addition to the Ring catalog, especially since it finally makes the jump to a 2K resolution.

Remember Samsung’s Ballie home robot? It may finally be inching closer to reality
Leaked app wireframes give the strongest hint yet that Samsung's Ballie home robot, first shown at CES 2020, might still be headed toward an actual release.

Samsung's rolling home robot has been the industry's longest-running "will it ever actually ship" joke, and I'll admit I'd mostly given up on it. Now, there's finally a glimmer of hope.

Samsung first unveiled Ballie as a concept at CES 2020. Then, it showed it as a significantly upgraded version four years later. However, the company never confirmed a release date or committed to releasing it at all.

The FCC has already made it much harder for foreign drone makers such as DJI to bring new products into the US. Now, the same crackdown is reaching a machine far more likely to be moving around your living room.

The US government recently added foreign-made advanced robotic devices to the FCC’s Covered List. The announcement appeared focused on humanoids, robot dogs, and industrial machines, but an FCC spokesperson has confirmed to The Verge that robot vacuum cleaners are covered too.

Grass, Lawn, Plant

Robotic lawn mowers can save homeowners hours of manual yard work, but not every model is designed for challenging properties. While many perform well on flat lawns, larger yards with uneven terrain, steep slopes, and multiple mowing zones require a mower built for more demanding conditions.

Developed by GOKO, the consumer robotics brand of Robot++, the GOKO M6 is an industrial-grade 4WD AI-powered robotic lawn mower that brings more than a decade of industrial robotics expertise to residential lawn care. It combines AI-powered four-wheel drive, advanced navigation technologies, and AI QuadVision obstacle detection to tackle complex landscapes with less manual intervention.
