Amazon finally launches the Ring Drone Cam and Ring Rover Cam, the first products from its new autonomous home security category. The Ring Drone Cam, priced at $249.99, ships January 27, 2027. Weighing 165 grams, it features a 2K camera, obstacle avoidance, and autonomous navigation via Alexa Home Map.
After years of delays since 2016, Ring founder Jamie Siminoff cites cloud-processing AI Pilot as the breakthrough enabling the $250 price point. The Ring Rover Cam completes the new Robotics category. Previous iterations failed due to weight-power-performance trade-offs, but AI-driven cloud processing resolved these issues.
The drone can patrol on schedules or respond to motion and leak sensors. When low on battery, it returns to dock; eight minutes of charging provides one minute of flight. Privacy is the default, with the drone powering down in its base.
