Amazon has unveiled a new line of wheeled and flying robots called Ring Drone and Ring Rover, aimed at providing flexible home security monitoring. Both devices can respond to alarms or sensor alerts by autonomously investigating the situation and transmitting live video footage. The Ring Rover Cam, priced at $999.99, is set to launch on December 16, while the more affordable Ring Drone Cam, priced at $249.99, begins shipping in late January.
Amazon's AI Pilot technology powers these products, enabling the devices to create a floor plan of your home, intelligently identifying rooms and suggesting patrol points based on the space's layout. Both the drones and rover autonomously navigate around furniture, shelves, and obstacles, reacting in real-time to any changes in the environment.
Continuous person motion detection allows Ring Rover to alert you and start recording the moment it detects motion, even when docked. Both devices offer both scheduled and on-demand patrol capabilities, automatically responding to sensor alerts and alarms triggered by your Ring camera or other sensors.
