Two years after it was first announced, the Ring Car Cam is finally here! Amazon began shipping its brand-new dash cam to consumers on February 15 with a retail price of $249.99.

The stylish new Car Cam offers dual wide-angle HD cameras with night vision to detect and record movement. Owners will get real-time alerts when motion is detected and the ability to look inside their vehicle and talk to those inside with Live View and Two-Way Talk via the Ring App—but only when Car Cam is connected to their home WiFi.

The dual-facing dash cam is mounted on a sleek arm that elevates the unit to an appropriate height to record from both directions. It plugs right into your car's OBD-II port.

Amazon also offers a subscription service for the Car Cam called Ring Protect Go. For $6 per month (or $60 per year), subscribers can use LTE data to access Live View and Two-Way Talk and also download recordings when their car is away from their home WiFi. A 30-day trial of Ring Protect Go begins when users first set up Ring Car Cam in the Ring app.

The Ring Car Cam is available only for vehicles where the OBD-II port is located on the left side of the steering wheel. One more caveat: The Ring Car Cam can only be shipped to the 50 United States—no territories.

Also of note: Car Cam is also not compatible with certain electric and other vehicles. Check here to review a list of known vehicles that are not compatible with the Ring Car Cam.
