Home Security from Amazon
Combine Ring with Alexa for hands-free home monitoring. When anyone presses your Doorbell or triggers Ring’s built-in motion sensors, your Alexa device will illuminate and make an announcement, so you’ll always know when someone steps on your property.

Tucked under the light ring is an array of seven microphones that use beam-forming technology and enhanced noise cancellation. Echo Plus has improved wake-word performance to hear you ask a question from any direction—even in noisy environments or while playing music at loud volumes.
When you want to use Echo Plus, simply say the wake word, “Alexa”, and Echo lights up and connects to the cloud, where the Alexa Voice Service recognises and responds to your request. Learn more about voice recognition on Echo.

With Alexa and your Prime membership, shopping for essentials and reordering your favourite Prime eligible domestic items from Amazon has never been easier. Learn more. Just ask:

Alexa—the brain behind Amazon Echo Plus—updates through the cloud automatically and is continually learning, adding new functionality and skills. The more you use Echo Plus, the more it adapts to your speech patterns, vocabulary and personal preferences. Explore more things to try with Alexa
