Ring, Amazon's home security brand, has launched a new suite of robotic security devices, including an AI-powered indoor drone camera and a mobile patrol robot for businesses. The Rover Cam, designed for enterprise security, notably incorporates the technology and design of Amazon's previously released Astro home robot, repurposing its capabilities for a more proactive security role.
These new offerings signal Ring's expansion beyond static cameras and doorbells into more dynamic, autonomous security solutions. The Drone Cam, priced at $249.99 and slated for release on January 27, 2027, aims to provide comprehensive home monitoring by flying autonomously to detect potential threats. The Rover Cam, meanwhile, leverages the mobile platform and AI features of the Astro robot to patrol commercial spaces, marking a significant shift in how Ring approaches home and business protection.
