Amazon's Ring Robotics announced two new security devices on Tuesday: the Ring Drone Cam for residential use and the Ring Rover Cam for commercial use. Amazon also announced the release of a new tool called AI Pilot, a cloud-based tool that will power the navigation for both devices.
Ring Robotics is a division of Amazon's home security brand Ring, which makes a popular line of security cameras, video doorbells, and related products. The Ring Drone Cam is essentially a flying indoor security camera, and it's priced at $249.99 and set to be released on Jan. 27. The Ring Rover Cam is priced at $999.99, will be released on Dec. 16, and is available to pre-order now.
This isn't the first time Ring has announced a flying indoor security camera, yet this is set to be the first Ring drone that will actually ship to customers. Ring previously announced home security drones in 2021 and 2025, but at a press briefing, Ring founder and chief inventor Jamie Siminoff stated that the new Ring Drone camera is fully ready to ship to customers this time. He also said the assembled-in-the-USA product is fully compliant with the Trump administration's recent ban on drones and robots made overseas.
Siminoff said that the new drone solves the problems the company faced with its earlier attempts to create drones.
"As we tried to fix the edge cases that we were running into to make this work inside of a home, that would add a sensor or more processing," Siminoff explained.
