Just Unveiled: Amazon's New Ring Drone Cam Takes Flight Inside Your Home in Just a Couple Months

The device uses cloud-based AI Pilot to patrol user-defined routes, respond to Ring sensors and stream 2K video for about 5 to 8 minutes per charge.

  • On Tuesday, Amazon's Ring Robotics division launched two autonomous security devices: the $249 Ring Drone Cam for residential use and the $999 Ring Rover Cam for commercial environments, both powered by a new cloud-based navigation system called AI Pilot.
  • Ring founder and CEO Jamie Siminoff stated the Drone Cam is finally ready after more than five years of development, noting that previous versions were canceled because they "just didn't work well enough" to ship to customers.
  • The Drone Cam navigates autonomously using "AI Pilot," a cloud-based system that maps indoor spaces to avoid obstacles, while performing scheduled patrols or responding to sensor alerts by livestreaming 2K video to the Ring app.
  • Siminoff described the drone as a crime "deterrent" due to its bright LED lights and loud propellers announcing its presence, while recorded footage uses "TAKE" encryption rotating keys every five minutes for privacy protection.
  • The Ring Rover Cam is available for preorder now with shipping starting December 16, while the Ring Drone Cam costs $249 and is scheduled to arrive on January 27, 2027, pending FCC certification.
