A camera can only show what sits in front of it. Ring Robotics changes that geometry with two new devices: an indoor flying camera for homes and a wheeled robot for businesses.

The idea of a flying security camera has been part of Ring’s vocabulary for years. The new Drone Cam brings 2K video, a 148-degree field of view, and LED illumination to custom routes through a home. It can visit preset points after a compatible sensor or alarm triggers, or follow a scheduled flight with a compatible subscription.

Both robots use AI Pilot, which combines cameras, sensors, and cloud processing to map rooms and navigate obstacles. The distinction is where the lens travels. The Rover Cam stays on one indoor floor, using a raised periscope to look across counters and shelving. It streams up to 4K video and includes two-way audio, a siren, and a light tower.

Privacy controls are physical as well as software-based: Drone Cam’s camera switches off when docked, while Rover’s sleep mode retracts its camera and disables the microphone.

Rover Cam is $999.99, with U.S. shipping planned for December 16. Drone Cam is listed at $249.99 for January 27, 2027, but remains unavailable for sale pending FCC authorization. Scheduled patrols require a compatible Ring subscription.
