Amazon has introduced new devices for automated premises security under the Ring brand. Among them — a flying drone with a camera that will independently check the house when the alarm is triggered, and a mobile robot for patrolling stores, offices, and warehouses.
This is what CNBC writes.
What is known about the devices
Both devices use the AI Pilot artificial intelligence system. It helps them navigate indoors, create maps, determine routes, and avoid obstacles.
The Ring Drone Cam is designed for use inside homes. It can move along a pre-defined route or automatically head to the room where a motion sensor or alarm has been triggered.
The device is equipped with a 2K resolution camera and illumination for shooting in the dark. When the drone is not operating, it is on the charging station, and its camera is turned off.
Another device — Ring Rover Cam — was developed for commercial premises.
The robot independently moves along defined routes, responds to sensor signals, and transmits video with a camera resolution of up to 4K.
It also has a siren, a retractable camera, and a two-way communication function that allows owners to communicate with people in the room remotely.
The company said that the videos will be protected using TAKE (Throw Away the Key) encryption technology.
At the same time, the emergence of devices that move independently through rooms and record video may raise questions about privacy and control over the collected data.
The sale of Ring Rover Cam in the US is planned for December 16, 2026. The device will cost $999.99. The Ring Drone Cam drone will go on sale on January 27, 2027, at a price of $249.99. Using some features will require a Ring Protect subscription.
