Hands-on with Ring’s new AI drone camera for your home
Ring is finally launching its indoor drone camera, which uses AI to patrol homes based on sensor triggers. The device is designed to be lightweight by offloading processing to the cloud and includes privacy features like a camera shutter when docked.
Why it matters
This product launch marks the realization of a long-delayed consumer technology project, highlighting the integration of AI into home security.
Ring is finally shipping a flying indoor drone camera. For real this time. The Ring Drone Cam will arrive on January 27th, 2027, for $249.99, Ring founder Jamie Siminoff said at a launch event in New York City this week. If it does actually ship, it will arrive almost six years after the company announced its first flying camera, the Ring Always Home Cam.
Designed to patrol inside your home when you’re not there, the Drone Cam is an AI-powered drone that can react to triggers from Ring sensors, such as detecting motion, a door opening, a water leak, or an alarm sounding. When triggered, it flies along pre-programmed routes to a set location, where it can livestream and record what’s happening in the Ring app.
