Ring’s new drone patrols your home to keep an eye on things – even upstairs
Alongside the Ring Drone Cam, Ring introduced the Rover Cam for businesses. It investigates disturbances and streams 4K footage.
Amazon has unveiled two new devices under its Ring Robotics subbrand: the $249 Ring Drone Cam and the $999 Ring Rover Cam. The Ring Drone Cam is an indoor, mobile security camera drone that shoots 2K video and navigates your home autonomously using Ring's custom "AI Pilot" technology. This drone moves between preset patrol points in your home, such as windows or doorways, creating a map of its surroundings and moving between them to monitor designated areas.
However, its flight time is limited to five to eight minutes, requiring it to return to its charging dock in a specific, predictable path. The drone's loud noise emitted by its four propellers may deter intruders and alert household members. The Ring Drone Cam will be available for purchase starting January 27, 2027. On the other hand, the Ring Rover Cam is a security robot designed for businesses that patrols autonomously, investigating disturbances and providing 360-degree views with its 4K camera.
Weighing $999, the Rover Cam can set out on automated routes at specified times and features a periscope camera and a siren for emergencies. It will start shipping on December 16, 2026.
