Ring Teams With Tesla To Enhance Security With Built-In Cameras

Ring, a company owned by Amazon.com, Inc AMZN, on Thursday announced a new security camera for cars including the new Car Cam, Car Alarm, and Car Connect.

Ring developed the Car Connect platform since many cars already have built-in cameras. Car Connect has a set of APIs for car manufacturers to enable owners to receive alerts for events, view recorded footage, and see if the car is locked or unlocked.

The first vehicle manufacturer Ring has integrated this API with is Tesla Inc TSLA. Owners of the Model 3, X, S and Y that have Sentry Mode enabled will be able to install a device in their cars that allow them to connect to the eight exterior cameras and one interior camera and view footage on their phones.
