Amazon's Ring has announced Ring Robotics, a new line of autonomous mobile security devices, on 10 November. The line starts with two products: the Ring Drone Cam, a flying indoor security camera, and the Ring Rover Cam, a wheeled robot for businesses. Both work with Ring's existing cameras, doorbells, sensors, alarms and app.
"For years, customers told us they wanted eyes in the places a fixed camera couldn't reach," said Jamie Siminoff, Ring's founder and chief inventor. He said the answer was not more cameras but rethinking what a security device could be, and called Ring Robotics the start of proactive, autonomous protection for homes and businesses.
Both devices run on AI Pilot, Ring's navigation system that combines onboard cameras, vision models, sensors and cloud processing to build a floor plan and suggest patrol points. The Rover Cam explores a space on its own, streams and records in up to 4K, and comes with a periscope camera mast of adjustable height, a siren, a light tower and two-way audio. Ring said feedback from Amazon Astro customers inspired the robot.
The Rover Cam ships in the United States on 16 December for $999.99. The Drone Cam follows on 27 January 2027 at $249.99, though Ring noted it still needs authorisation from the Federal Communications Commission before it can be sold. Video from both devices sits behind Ring's end-to-end encryption, and scheduled patrols require a compatible Ring Protect plan.
