Amazon is getting into the home-security space.
Today the ecommerce giant unveiled Amazon Key, a kit that equips houses with a smart lock, a security camera and a mobile app that lets consumers peek at what is going on in their houses virtually for $249.99.
Using the kit, Amazon delivery staff will be able to drop off packages inside front doors.
