Ever wish your security camera could get off its lazy butt and investigate that noise upstairs? Amazon’s Ring has a $249.99 solution.

The Ring Drone Cam flies room to room when an alarm trips, streaming 2K video to your phone. It’s like giving your home security system a pair of wings and the personality of an overprotective Yorkie.

The camera stays off while docked, and the drone makes enough noise to announce its arrival. A Ring Protect plan is required. Finally, something that can hover over your teenager and ask why the fridge is open.

Scheduled to ship by Jan. 27, you can get it here.
