Ring’s flexible Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam is on sale for the first time today

Many of today’s indoor security cameras are great, but unless you have multiple cameras positioned throughout your home at different angles, it can be tough to keep an eye on your pet, porch, and other happenings while you’re away. Enter Ring’s new Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam, which is now available in either black or white at Amazon, Best Buy, and Ring’s online storefront for a new low of $59.99 ($20 off).

In most respects, Ring’s first integrated pan and tilt camera is an iterative update of Ring’s second-gen Indoor Cam, which remains a cheap solution for monitoring the interior of your home. The wired camera offers 1080p HD video and color night vision, as well as two-way talk, a built-in siren, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connectivity, and a physical privacy cover that lets you block the camera and microphone. The big update, though, is the camera’s motorized base, which allows you to point it up or down and rotate it a full 360 degrees using Ring’s accompanying mobile app. It also comes with a 10-foot USB-C cable and two separate mounts — a ceiling mount and a wall mount — making it a bit easier to eliminate unwanted blind spots in your home.

The biggest downside, as is the case with all Ring cameras, is that you’ll need to sign up for a Ring Protect plan (from $4.99 a month) for person detection, rich notifications, and recorded video. Otherwise, you’ll only be able to take advantage of motion alerts and a live video feed.
