Amazon's Ring launches a $250 indoor security drone and a $1,000 patrol robot under Ring Robotics

Nov 10, 2026
Both use Ring's AI Pilot to map spaces and route around obstacles; the Rover Cam ships 16 December, while the Drone Cam still needs FCC authorization.

Ring, owned by Amazon, unveiled a $249.99 indoor security drone and a $999.99 mobile patrol robot, according to GeekWire. The Ring Drone Cam and Ring Rover Cam are the first products in the Ring Robotics line.

Both devices use an AI Pilot system to map their surroundings, identify areas to check, and navigate around obstacles. The drone remains docked with its camera off until a scheduled, requested, or automatically triggered flight. The Rover patrols businesses and uses a periscope camera to view areas above counters and shelves.

The Rover is available for preorder in the United States and is scheduled to ship on 16 December. The Drone Cam is slated for 27 January 2027, but Ring is currently accepting email registrations only, and the device still requires Federal Communications Commission authorization. Scheduled patrols and flights, along with access to Rover recordings, require a Ring Protect subscription.
