The Ring Stick Up Cam will fend off intruders both inside and out

Security is good. Spending ages trying to install a security camera when you could be playing video games or watching Atlanta – decidedly less good. It’s not hard, then, to see the appeal of Amazon-owned Ring’s new Stick Up Cam. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, the easy-to-setup camera features two-way talk, 1080p video, night vision, motion detection and a siren that can be used to warn off potential troublemakers. The Stick Up Cam comes in two variants. The £179 wired version will be available to buy from November 16, and uses either a Micro-USB power supply or Ethernet. A battery-operated model will follow, but price and release date are still TBC. Both cameras will also get Alexa support, meaning you can check the camera’s stream on your Echo Show.

About

I'm fascinated by all things tech, but if you were going to leave me on a desert island, I'd probably ask for my Nintendo Switch, a drone, and a pair of noise-cancelling cans to block out the relentless seagull racket. When I'm not on Stuff duty you'll probably find me subscribing to too many podcasts, playing too many video games, or telling anyone who will listen that Spurs are going to win a trophy this season.
