Ring’s Indoor Drone Camera Is Back—and Now Powered by AI
Ring has announced a new indoor drone camera and a roving security robot under its new 'Ring Robotics' brand. The drone uses cloud-based AI to navigate homes, aiming to provide security monitoring while addressing previous technical challenges.
Why it matters
The shift toward cloud-based AI for home robotics represents a significant evolution in consumer security technology and privacy management.
The tiny, 165-gram drone lifts out of its charging dock, buzzing loudly, and autonomously flies upstairs, giving you a first-person view on your phone’s screen as it scans the room. Since it's dark in the house, the Drone's spotlights kick in, making it look like someone's physically in the home and moving around—a potential deterrent to would-be thieves. All clear? It heads back to its base to recharge.
That's the peace of mind Ring wants to offer with its latest home security solution, which it announced today for $250, alongside the Ring Rover Cam, a $1,000 roving security robot designed to help businesses monitor warehouses and factories. Both fall under the company's new “Ring Robotics” brand. The Rover Cam launches first on December 16, followed by the Drone Cam on January 27, 2027.
