Amazon unveiled several new products at its online unveiling event in September, including an autonomous robot that can monitor a person's home for intruders.
The $1,450 robot uses intelligent motion to check-in on your home while you're away and give alerts about any disturbances.
It can move autonomously around your home, navigate to check in on specific areas, show a live view of rooms through the Astro app, or send alerts if it detects an unrecognised person.
