Ring Robotics Drone Cam and Rover Cam, Digi Mart USA News: Amazon’s Ring has launched Ring Robotics, a new product category built around autonomous security devices. The lineup includes the Ring Drone Cam, a flying indoor camera, and the Ring Rover Cam, a wheeled security robot designed mainly for businesses, though the company says it can also patrol a home.
Both devices run on Ring’s new AI Pilot system, which combines cameras, computer vision models, onboard sensors and cloud processing to navigate indoor spaces. During setup, the system maps the surrounding area, identifies rooms and suggests spots to monitor.
Users can then set custom patrol points and schedules so the robots can move around obstacles without constant supervision.
The Drone Cam, the more affordable of the two, is designed to reduce the need for fixed cameras in every room. It has a 2K camera with a 148-degree field of view that rotates 360 degrees, along with two built-in LED lights for low-light conditions.
It weighs 165 grams and can fly for five to eight minutes per charge. Ring says it can be integrated with existing Ring cameras, doorbells and sensors to investigate triggered alarms, and that it can land safely if its internet connection is interrupted.
Ring founder Jamie Siminoff said the company had previously announced a flying device, the Always Home Cam, in 2020, but it never reached a wide commercial release because of technical challenges, particularly the weight and power demands of additional sensors. According to the company, the new Drone Cam offloads much of its processing to the cloud to address those limits.
The Rover Cam is aimed at warehouses, stores and other commercial settings. It can patrol predefined routes and investigate disturbances detected by connected Ring devices.
Its adjustable periscope camera can extend above counters and shelving, and it supports continuous recording and streaming at up to 4K, 360-degree scans at patrol points, a built-in siren, a visible light tower, two-way audio and person-motion detection even while docked.
Privacy features include a camera switch-off while the Drone Cam is docked, and a Sleep Mode on the Rover Cam that retracts the periscope and disables the microphone. Both devices have visible recording indicators and use Ring’s Throw Away the Key (TAKE) encryption.
Because both rely on cloud processing, customers will still need to trust Ring’s handling of their video data.
According to the announcement, the Ring Rover Cam is scheduled to ship in the United States on December 16, 2026, priced at $999.99, with preorders open now. The Ring Drone Cam is set to follow on January 27, 2027, priced at $249.99. Certain features require a compatible Ring Protect subscription.
Amazon’s announcement notes the Drone Cam has not yet received required FCC authorisation, so its commercial availability remains subject to regulatory approval. No international pricing or availability has been announced for either product.
