Ring announces new security cameras and lights, promises Ring Alarm system will ship soon

-
...

Ring is on hand at CES to talk about some new products, as well as offer some updates on previously announced devices. The company has a raft of new cameras and lights, including some products that resulted from its acquisition of smart lighting firm Mr. Beams. There's also news on the delayed security system. Ring Alarm (yes, that's a different name) will ship soon.

Ring already has a video doorbell that's quite popular, but today it's adding more cameras to the mix. The Stick Up Cam and Stick Up Cam Elite plug into the existing Ring app to provide more video coverage for your home. The Elite requires a power connection, but it has more powerful motion sensors than the battery-powered Stick Up Cam. That one uses passive infrared sensors to detect activity and wake up. Both cameras are weather-resistant for indoor or outdoor use.

Also new today are the Ring Beams family of lights. These battery-powered lights are activated by motion and connect to other Ring devices. There are various form factors here including pathway lights, step lights, and spotlights. Note: these are different than Ring's existing spotlight cams.

Finally, there's news on Ring Protect—or Ring Alarm as it's now known. After being announced in October, Ring had to delay Protect because of a lawsuit. Now, it's being called Ring Alarm (presumably because of the lawsuit), and it will ship this spring. Ring doesn't have a specific date, though.

Press Release

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ring, the leader in home security, unveiled at CES 2018 its whole home security ecosystem, which includes several new security devices that bolster the Ring of Security around homes and neighborhoods.

The Ring product line, along with the Ring Neighborhoods network, enable Ring to offer affordable, complete home and neighborhood security in a way no other company has before.

Beyond eSIM: How iSIM could turn phones into the ultimate Internet ID

-

Most modern smartphones still support the classic SIM card (well, the nano variant at least), but a gradually growing number of phones and other consumer gadgets are starting to support eSIM . We might not be too far away from yet another change in SIM tech, as devices could soon start using iSIM. Earlier this year, Arm unveiled its vision for the iSIM – an integrated SIM that fits into a device's system-on-a-chip. In the future, along with a CPU, GPU, LTE or 5G modem, your next phone SoC could also include the SIM card built inside it too. While there might not appear to be a big difference compared to eSIM, iSIM could end up drastically changing the way we use a wide range of connected devices. eSIM vs iSIM eSIM and iSIM are rather similar in a number of respects. Both replace the transferable nano SIM cards with a hardware chip that's permanently fixed inside a user's phone, tablet, or other gadget. When you consider that nano SIM cards are around 12.3 x 8.8 m

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t
