Ring Prices Rover Cam at $1,000 and Home Drone at $270

Amazon-owned Ring announced its Ring Robotics division Nov. 10, introducing a business patrol robot and an indoor home-security drone. The devices add mobile monitoring to the company’s security lineup, with one designed for business premises and the other for use inside a home.

The Ring Rover Cam is designed to patrol a business along set routes at specified times. It streams continuous 4K video to Ring’s mobile app, and users can configure recording to start when the robot detects a person. Its adjustable periscope camera can see over specific obstacles, while two-way audio lets a remote user speak with someone nearby.

The Ring Drone Cam is built for indoor patrols. Homeowners can schedule it to patrol at chosen times, including while they are away, or control it through Amazon’s Alexa Home Map. It is designed to work with Ring’s other home-security devices and investigate the location of a triggered alarm. For example, an alarm at a back door can prompt the drone to check that area. It records 2K video and has LED lights for low-light recording. The drone remains inactive in its docking bay.

Both devices use AI Pilot, which relies on specialized vision models, sensors and cloud processing for navigation. As they explore a home or office, they are designed to build a detailed schematic of the space. Video from both products is protected by TAKE (Throw Away the Key Encryption), which Ring calls its strongest default encryption.

The division follows an earlier Amazon effort to put a mobile robot in homes. Amazon introduced Astro in 2021 as a domestic helper, then shifted it toward small-business security. The company discontinued Astro seven months after that repositioning.

The Rover Cam is set to become available Dec. 16 for $1,000. The Drone Cam is set to become available Jan. 27, 2027, for $270.
