Ring Drone Cam

Ring's indoor security drone finally launches at $249.99, shipping Jan 27, 2027, with cloud-based 'AI Pilot' navigation.

Announced Nov 10 as the first product, with the Rover Cam, in Amazon's new US-only Ring Robotics line. The 165-gram indoor quadcopter has a 2K front camera (148-degree field of view) with LED spotlights and a 1080p downward camera. It can fly scheduled patrols, respond to Ring sensors (motion, door, leak, alarm), or go to a spot you tap on the upcoming Alexa Home Map. Flight time is short: Engadget reports Ring quoting about 8-10 minutes, The Verge 5-8 minutes, and each minute of flight takes about 8 minutes of charging on the dock. Navigation ('AI Pilot') runs mostly in the cloud, so without Wi-Fi it can only land. The camera is covered when docked, and footage uses Ring's new TAKE encryption, which The Verge says rotates keys every five minutes and deletes Ring's copies after 24 hours. A Ring Protect plan is needed for video storage. Ring told The Verge it is still obtaining FCC certification, so the January date depends on that. The drone idea was first shown in 2020 as the Always Home Cam, which never shipped.
