Amazon has unveiled two new home security devices: the Ring Drone Cam, a flying drone, and the Ring Rover Cam, a wheeled robot. Both are designed to work in tandem with other devices in the Ring system.

The Ring Drone Cam was announced back in 2020, but it is only now hitting the market. According to the company, the delay was caused by numerous development challenges: the addition of new sensors increased the battery weight, which made flight unstable, Bloomberg reports.

The camera is controlled by artificial intelligence, which determines its flight path and responds to alerts from other Ring cameras. On a single charge, the drone can remain airborne for five to seven minutes, after which it must return to its charging station. Consequently, the device is not designed for continuous patrolling and is suitable only for brief inspections.

Users can set up an automated patrol: at a scheduled time, the drone will take off, fly around the property, and check alerts from Ring cameras, alarm systems, and other devices. To help deter intruders, it is equipped with LED floodlights that activate in the dark. The drone autonomously identifies safe zones and flight paths, and it is designed to operate only outdoors.

The camera has a 148° field of view, and video is recorded in 2K resolution. The device weighs 165 grams. According to Bloomberg, the drone is quite lightweight but very noisy. It is priced at 250 USD and will go on sale in January 2027.

Ring Rover Cam is a redesigned version of the Astro robot, which Amazon launched in 2023 and discontinued in 2024. The new robot moves around on wheels, either autonomously or along a pre-set route. It can also be steered remotely to a specific room, and if an alarm is triggered on another Ring device, it will automatically head to the location of the alert.

As it moves, the robot continuously records and streams 4K-resolution video. It features an extendable, periscope-style camera with an adjustable height. To make the robot easier to locate in a large space, it projects light onto the ceiling. A screen on the device displays system notifications—for instance, indicating that recording or streaming is in progress.

On a single charge, the robot can operate for about half an hour, covering approximately 500 square meters—though only on one floor, Amazon asserts. In a multi-story building, several such robots or an additional flying drone would be required.

The Ring Rover Cam costs 1000 USD, with shipments set to begin on December 16, 2026. According to Bloomberg, the robot is best suited for businesses—for instance, for patrolling warehouses.
