Ring launches indoor drone and business patrol robot
Ring introduced two autonomous security devices on 10 Nov 2026: the $250 indoor Ring Drone Cam that can fly for up to eight minutes and the $999.99 Ring Rover Cam aimed at business patrols. Both products stream video to the Ring app, use Ring's AI Pilot system to map spaces, and will ship on 27 Jan 2027 for the drone and from late 2026 for the rover. The drone records 2K video, features LED lights and a loud buzzing propeller sound, while the rover offers 4K periscope video, siren and two‑way audio.
