Ring Drone Cam brings a flying indoor camera to Ring’s security lineup for $249.99, with U.S. shipping scheduled for January 27, 2027. Ring Rover Cam is a $999.99 robot for business security, with U.S. shipping scheduled for December 16, 2026. The two devices launch Ring Robotics and connect with existing Ring devices through the Ring app.
According to Amazon’s announcement, both use AI Pilot to map rooms, recommend patrol points and steer around obstacles. Setup involves carrying Drone Cam around the space, while Rover Cam explores on its own. Owners can add their own patrol points.
Drone Cam can follow custom routes automatically, launch on demand or investigate preset patrol points after a Ring alarm, camera or sensor is triggered. Its camera records 2K video, covers a 148-degree field of view and rotates through 360 degrees. Two LEDs switch on when lighting is low.
Rover Cam can travel to a room or saved patrol point, then scan through 360 degrees. Its adjustable camera mast can look over shelves and counters, with a saved height for each stop. It also includes a siren, light tower and two-way audio.
While moving or patrolling, Rover Cam records and streams video at up to 4K resolution. It can also detect people’s movement while docked and begin recording. Scheduled Drone Cam flights, scheduled Rover Cam patrols and reviewing Rover Cam recordings require a compatible Ring Protect plan.
Drone Cam turns its camera off while docked. Rover Cam’s Sleep Mode lowers its periscope and disables the microphone. Both show recording status with LEDs, and Rover Cam also displays it on screen. Videos from both devices will use Throw Away the Key encryption.
Rover Cam is available to preorder. Drone Cam still needs Federal Communications Commission authorization; the announcement says it cannot be sold, leased or offered for either purpose until that approval is obtained.
