Ring

Amazon unveiled the Ring Drone Cam and Ring Rover Cam, AI-powered security devices built on an AI Pilot system that combines vision models, on-device sensors and cloud processing for autonomous patrolling and obstacle avoidance. The products are slated to ship from late 2026 to early 2027, and are likely to reignite privacy concerns over indoor flying cameras.

Amazon has introduced a self-flying indoor security drone and a ground rover for its Ring ecosystem, both dispatched automatically to preset waypoints when an alarm trips so video may already be streaming before the user opens the alert. The drone rests in its dock with the camera off, records only during flights, uses deliberately loud propellers as a deterrent, and ships with Ring's strongest default encryption.

Amazon-owned Ring has formed a robotics division, Ring Robotics, unveiling a $270 home security patrol drone and a $1,000 enterprise patrol robot called Rover Cam, both supporting scheduled patrols and 2K video streaming. The move extends Ring from fixed cameras to mobile autonomous security hardware, though no new AI algorithms or autonomy stack details were disclosed.

Ring has confirmed its first indoor flying camera, the Drone Cam, will launch on January 27, 2027, for $249.99, nearly six years after the product was first announced in 2021. The AI-powered device responds to triggers from Ring sensors such as motion, door openings, water leaks, or alarms, flying preprogrammed routes to a set location to livestream and record via the Ring app.
