Key facts
- Ring said the Drone Cam flies room to room, streams 2K video and docks when idle.
- Ring said the Rover Cam streams continuous 4K video and has a periscope camera and two-way audio.
- Ring said both devices use its AI Pilot system to map spaces and navigate autonomously.
- Ring said recordings are protected by TAKE encryption, which it calls its strongest default encryption.
- Ring said the Rover Cam was inspired by feedback from Amazon Astro customers.
Ring, the Amazon-owned home security company, said on November 10, 2026 that it is launching a robotics division and two devices: the Ring Drone Cam and the Ring Rover Cam.
The Drone Cam is a flying indoor security camera that Ring said flies from room to room, streams 2K video and uses LED lights for low-light recording. It integrates with other Ring devices, can be scheduled to patrol and is controlled through Amazon's Alexa Home Map, according to Ring. It stays in a docking bay when not in use and is priced at $270, with availability from January 27.
The Rover Cam is a roving enterprise security robot that Ring said patrols set routes at set times, streams continuous 4K video to Ring's mobile app and can record automatically when it detects a human. Ring said it has a periscope camera and two-way audio. It is priced at $1,000 and available from December 16.
Ring said both devices run on AI Pilot, its proprietary system that uses vision models, sensors and cloud processing to navigate autonomously and build a schematic of a home or office by exploring it. Ring said the Rover Cam was inspired by feedback from Amazon Astro customers. Amazon launched Astro in 2021 as a home robot and later repositioned it as an enterprise security product before discontinuing it.
Ring said both devices were built with privacy and security in mind and that recordings are protected by TAKE (Throw Away the Key Encryption), which it calls its strongest default encryption. The report said it was unclear whether local video storage will be an option, noting Ring cameras generally record to the cloud. Privacy concerns have long dogged Ring, with critics alleging its cameras created unofficial surveillance networks accessible to police departments.
