Amazon’s Newest Home Drone
Amazon’s Announce Newest Home Drone
Amazon’s latest big event has caused quite the storm. They have just announced the release of the Ring Always Home Cam – an autonomous indoor drone camera designed to be an addition to their Ring Home Security Suite.
Although it is a world away from the drones we deploy in our business, it does mark a huge potential use of UAVs into our everyday lives.
It is designed to deploy in cases where a potential break in is suspected when the home is unoccupied. The system owner will be able to view footage lived streamed form the aircraft as it navigates itself around the home (it is currently limited to a single floor). They can then determine if further action needs to be taken. The initial launch will be in the USA and it will be priced at $250.
A whole raft of privacy concerns have been raised regarding the concept of having a mobile camera in your home. There are very justified concerns that Amazon say that they are working hard to address. However, every pioneering tech product raises concerns and issues that are only addressed through development over time utilising both developer and user experience. It is likely that this marks the start of drones being integrated into our daily lives and over time this being done with maximum security levels.

Photogrammetry For Roof inspections, Solar Panels, and Hard-To-Reach Assets: A Technical Approach
Photogrammetry for roofs, solar panels, and complex vertical structures requires far more precision than standard terrain mapping. This post from explores why traditional workflows fall short and how operators can use tools such as terrain-following, custom camera profiles, circlegrammetry, and automated vertical scanning to achieve consistent results. Packed with real-world examples and scientific validation, it provides a practical technical guide to improving model accuracy, mission repeatability, and inspection efficiency across challenging commercial environments.Capturing quality photogrammetry data from vertical and elevated structures remains one of the trickier challenges in commercial drone operations. Traditional surveying workflows fail here. Kristaps Brass, Product Owner at UgCS, has spent years working with operators who tackle these missions daily. Solar farms, building facades, communication towers, dam inspections. The pattern is consistent: manual flying burns time and money, and processed models show gaps where critical details should be. This article covers what actually works, based on field-tested methods and real operator feedback.
