Drone Cam/Reveal
Ring – Amazon’s smart doorbell and camera home brand – just announced Ring Robotics and details on a pair of its new smart home robots known as Ring Drone Cam and Ring Rover Cam.
The early Black Friday deals are now live on the latest Ring video doorbells and smart cameras starting from just $40, but who cares about that when the brand’s upcoming new smart home robot is set to take flight in just a couple month’s time.
The brand describes Ring Robotics as a “new category of autonomous, mobile security—devices that patrol, investigate, and respond automatically.”
The first of these new devices is the Ring Drone Cam – a robot that literally flys around your house to keep an eye on things and it is set for release in January 2027:
The Ring Drone Cam will begin shipping in the U.S. on January 27, 2027, for $249.99.
Ring Drone is a “flying indoor security camera that goes where you need it, when you need it, and stays docked and out of sight” when you don’t want a robot flying around your home. The bran describes it as a first-of-its-kind Ring camera that comes “built from the ground up with AI at its core – it keeps eyes on your entire home “without the need to mount a camera in every room.”
- Custom flight routes: Set the routes, set the schedule*, and Ring Drone flies them automatically. You can also deploy it on demand at any time.
- Automatic incident response: When a Ring camera, sensor, or alarm is triggered, Ring Drone automatically flies to previously set patrol points to investigate.
- Wall-to-wall coverage: With a 148° field of view and the ability to rotate 360°, Ring Drone provides a whole-room view in clear 2K video.
- Captures video day or night: Two built-in LED lights activate automatically in low-light environments, so you always get clear, crisp video.
- Seamless Ring integration: Works with Ring cameras, doorbells, sensors, and alarms out of the box, and can be controlled from the new Alexa Home Map.
The second of these new devices is the Ring Rover Cam – a “purpose-built security robot for businesses that patrols autonomously, investigates disturbances, and streams in up to 4K video.”
This one is, perhaps, a little more like some of the prototypes and concept products we have seen previously, delivering a droid-like form factor that rolls around your space, but it appears to be entirely focused on business applications. It is now available for pre-order at$999.99and will begin shipping on December 16.
Ring Rover is the result of years of listening and learning. It was originally inspired by feedback from Amazon Astro customers who said the feature they loved most was roving security. As leaders in home and business security, the Ring team took that feedback, leveraged the best of Astro, and built something new—not a home robot that also does security, but a purpose-built security robot. One device, one purpose, built by the team that’s spent more than a decade making neighborhoods safer.
