Ring announced Ring Robotics on November 10, a new line of autonomous, mobile security products. It starts with two devices: the Ring Drone Cam, a flying indoor security camera, and the Ring Rover Cam, a wheeled robot aimed at businesses. Both work with existing Ring cameras, doorbells, sensors, alarms and the Ring app.
The Drone Cam stays in a dock until a flight begins, either on a custom schedule or on demand. When a connected Ring camera, sensor or alarm is triggered, it flies to preset patrol points to investigate. Its camera offers a 148-degree field of view, can rotate 360 degrees and records 2K video. Two LED lights turn on automatically in low light, and the drone can be controlled through the Alexa Home Map. Ring said the propellers "aren't quiet" and described this as a deterrent. Flight time, weight and battery details were not disclosed.
The Rover Cam records in up to 4K while moving and includes an adjustable periscope camera mast, a siren, a light tower and two-way audio. Ring said feedback from Amazon Astro customers inspired the design. Both devices use AI Pilot, which builds a floor plan, identifies rooms and suggests patrol points. It plans routes and avoids furniture and other obstacles in real time.
Ring Rover Cam ships in the United States on December 16, 2026, for $999.99. Drone Cam is scheduled for January 27, 2027, at $249.99, but it cannot be sold until it receives Federal Communications Commission authorization, which it does not yet have.
