(I usually post these things elsewhere)
A “Security Camera” device by a reputable company (Ring). That you actually fly like a drone around the home.

I use ring products (but not their services) - I am a DIY-er (like most here)
but seriously - a flying camera??? 🙄
- I can't hear the intruder calling the other intruders name.....
- Its "bbbbbzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" 🤣
- Oh shoot! - it just crashed into the fish tank

This is old news, first seen 3 years ago [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aYiYhLNfc0I](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aYiYhLNfc0I)
didn't fly then, doubt it will sell now either.
Not good at doors.

I have no sense of time - seen it pop up on my feed, and had never seen it until now.

🤣 🤣 🤣
You mean the company that sells everyone's door footage (in the US anyway) to the police?

I seem to remember having that conversation with Dave, maybe a decade ago, probably more now. When drones were just becoming marginally afordable (I won one actually, still have it though I can't fly it any more because it is too heavy and I don't have the required license).
Using Node-RED to realtime control the drone.

I don't watch it any more since some of their dystopian ideas have already come rather close to reality. ☹

Wrong word maybe, more towards non-wacky hardware - I can't find the right word to categorise hardware as being non-silly, actually decent/normal 🤓
I use their ZWave sensors, but do not:
- Use their services
- Or hub (basically a Zwave Hub under it all) - I use A Zwave Serial over USB transceiver
As its ZWave (Their Sensors at least) its a set standard, so use my (well duh 😄) own Node to communicate with them.
But the flying camera was a new one on me - just didn't expect such a silly device from them

This is great.
I'd buy two so that one could film the other. Just to be sure that it's ok and not broken.
I can already feel the anxiety and worry falling from me, knowing that I and everyone else is constantly being watched. No more crime, no more evil, only peace, love and harmony.

I can see a market for outdoor use, patrolling boundaries etc. However this appears only for indoor use.
Anyway I just attach cameras to our GSDs and send them out on patrol. 😉

You could just cut a "T" shaped camera flap in your doors 🤣
