Amazon's Ring unveils flying drone and robot to patrol homes and businesses
What happened
Amazon's Ring has launched a robotics division with two devices: a flying indoor security camera called the Ring Drone Cam and a wheeled patrol robot for businesses called the Ring Rover Cam.
The Drone Cam retails for $249.99 and is due to ship on Jan. 27, 2027, according to Engadget.
The drone weighs 165 grams, records in 2K, and flies on a set schedule, on command, or toward a triggered motion or leak sensor.
It manages only about eight to 10 minutes in the air, then lands or returns to its dock; eight minutes of charging gives one minute of flight.
The Rover Cam streams 4K video while patrolling, has a raisable periscope camera, and covers about 5,000 square feet on one floor for roughly 30 minutes, according to The Verge.
Ring says both machines run on an AI system called AI Pilot, and Ring founder Jamie Siminoff said earlier drone versions were shelved because they did not work well enough.
