Ring announced new smart home hardware at Amazon's hardware and services event this Wednesday, including a couple of new outdoor cameras -- the Ring Spotlight Cam Plus and the Ring Spotlight Cam Pro. Both of the new cameras are up for pre-order starting today, with devices expected to ship out in the coming months.

The two are pretty similar in look and design -- both feature motion activated lighting and a built-in siren, either one can be wired, battery-powered, or solar-powered, and with prices starting at $200 and $230, respectively, there's only $30 separating them in cost. That said, the Spotlight Cam Pro adds a couple of advanced features into the mix. 

For starters, you'll be able to use 3D Motion Detection to view an aerial-style, bird's eye view of the motion events picked up by the camera. Meanwhile, a new Audio Plus feature promises to make it easier to hear any noises picked up by the camera's on-board microphones. Those features join existing Ring features like two-way talk, live view and color night vision.

A Ring spokesperson tells CNET that the 3D motion detection uses aerial imagery from third-party partner Mapbox to provide a satellite image of your home and the surrounding area.

"When a customer sets up their Ring device and provides their home address (which the customer provides during the installation process), we fetch the latitude and longitude provided from Mapbox to present either a satellite or vector map image," the spokesperson explained. From there, the Ring app will plot out the rough location of any motion activity detected by the camera.

In addition to the new Spotlight Cams, Ring is also releasing a new, second-gen panic button that Ring Alarm users can keep on their bedroom nightstand, or mounted to a nearby wall. In addition to activating your home's security alarm, the button can also be configured in the Ring app to trigger assistance specific to medical emergencies or fires, making for a more flexible layer of safety. Pre-orders are up now at an asking price of $30.

We'll be eager to test the new hardware out once it's available, so stay tuned for more details on how it all performs later this year.
