Ring has officially launched its new category of autonomous home security devices, introducing the Ring Drone Cam and the Ring Rover Cam. The Ring Drone Cam, priced at $249.99 and shipping on January 27, 2027, is a compact quadcopter equipped with 2K and 1080p cameras. It can perform preconfigured patrols or respond to motion and leak sensors, navigating via the Alexa Home Map. Battery life allows for eight to ten minutes of flight time, with the drone returning to its dock for charging.
The Ring Rover Cam, a resurrected security robot priced at $1,000, is inspired by feedback from Amazon Astro customers. This device features a 4K camera that can extend up to four feet, a 360-degree spin capability, and a built-in siren. Designed for enterprise and business use, it can patrol customized routes and respond to disturbances. Both the Drone Cam and Rover Cam are built with privacy as a default, featuring end-to-end encryption and deterrent features like noise and visible lights to alert and dissuade potential intruders.
