The $250 Ring Drone Cam is a textbook-sized quadcopter for indoor use. It can fly from room to room, including upstairs, by day or night.
AMAZON UNVEILS A FLYING HOME SECURITY DRONE $AMZN introduced Ring Robotics with 2 autonomous security devices:
1) $250 flying camera for homes
2) $1,000 roaming robot for businesses.

When a sensor on a window, door or other Ring device trips, the drone follows a preset path to check it out. Owners can also send it out whenever they like.
How the drone works
It flies up to eight minutes, then returns to its dock on its own. Two plastic-covered propellers make a loud buzz in the air.
Ring says the noise is part of the plan. LED lights add to the effect, and the company says both devices are built to deter, not just monitor.
CEO Jamie Siminoff pictured a night prowler seeing spotlights and something flying past a window. “You’re probably not going to go into that house,” he said.
The drone has 148-degree peripheral vision and can rotate 360 degrees. Ring says both machines run on AI Pilot and navigate on their own.
Siminoff said the drone cannot fly outside, citing Federal Aviation Administration rules on line of sight. He said Ring added guardrails to keep it indoors.
The Rover Cam for businesses
The $1,000 Ring Rover Cam is made for offices, warehouses and other workspaces. It reuses Amazon’s Astro home robot, which debuted in 2021.
It is a display on a two-wheeled base with an extendable periscope camera. It also has a built-in siren, two-way audio and a light tower that shines on the ceiling so users can spot it.
Businesses can send it to check on a disturbance or set it to do regular sweeps. Siminoff said one device can cover many areas, since people don’t want indoor cameras everywhere.
Ring calls privacy the default for both products. Each flashes an LED while recording, and cameras are off when the drone is grounded or the rover is asleep.
Michelle Dahl of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project warned of “a really big risk of a data breach” with cameras inside homes. Ring has faced privacy concerns before, including backlash over a Super Bowl ad for its Search Party tool.
Ring first previewed the drone in 2020 as the Always Home Cam. Siminoff said the company waited until the design, sensors and data processing were right.
Amazon bought Ring in 2018. Grand View Research estimates smart home sales will top $200 billion this year, a market Apple and Google also compete in.
Both devices need a subscription, which a customer service rep put at $5 a month or $60 a year.
The Rover Cam starts shipping Dec. 16. The Drone Cam ships in the U.S. on Jan. 27, pending Federal Communications Commission approval.
