Up close
The Appbot Riley is a small tracked camera robot for watching your home from your phone. You drive it around the house in the Riley app to see live video, including in the dark, talk through it with two-way audio, and get motion alerts with clips. It rights itself if it tips over and returns to its dock to charge. It is a legacy product from the 2010s, so most units now are used or old stock.
