Ring has had a string of bad publicity recently, so their CES product launch is somewhat tarnished.

It has recently come to light, that Ring has been working with police to make it easier for them to access footage, and they are facing legal action for poor security and also a data breach.

So as part of CES, Ring are promising to improve security and privacy with a new section of its mobile app, called Control Center. Control Center will allow users to manage which devices can access their feeds and block requests for clips from law enforcement.

Moving on from that awkwardness, the company is launching a range of new products which are available in the US immediately.
