New product additions to the Ring smart home and security portfolio, including the Access Controller Pro device, have been unveiled at CES 2020. The Ring Access Controller Pro marks the company’s entry into the access control space. The hardwired, professionally installed device allows users to remotely operate their electronically-controlled gate directly from their Ring App. Paired with a Ring Video Doorbell or Cam, users can open their live view, confirm who is at the gate and securely let them in from the app.
The controller also allows users to receive secure Amazon deliveries inside their gate via the Key by Amazon program. Ring Access Controller Pro is available now and will also be bundled with the new Stick Up Cam Battery. Also at CES 2020, Ring announced its first-ever Smart LED Light Bulbs that are said to create a complete network of security lights in and around the home. The light bulbs come in two styles and will be available April 1.
First, the screw-in A19 and PAR38 models are controlled by the Ring Bridge central hub, allowing users to remotely turn their lights on and off, adjust the brightness and set schedules from the Ring app. When linked with other Ring security devices with motion sensors, the A19 and PAR38 can be set to turn on when motion is detected.
The other lightbulb offering — named Ring Smart Lighting Solar — comprises three new solar-powered devices: Solar Floodlight, Solar Steplight and Solar Pathlight. Each of the outdoor models are motion-activated and can be connected to the Ring app and Ring Bridge to provide notifications when the light has been turned on.
