Ring Drone Cam & Rover Cam First Look： Autonomous Security

Ring Drone Cam or Ring Rover Cam — would you trust a flying camera inside your house? 👇

Ring just launched Ring Robotics, a new line of security cameras that move on their own, and I got a first look at the first two.

Ring Drone Cam is an indoor security drone. It flies set routes around your home on a schedule or when you send it, and if another Ring camera, sensor or alarm goes off, it flies over to check. It records in 2K with a 148° view, has two LED lights for dark rooms, and stays docked with the camera off until it takes off. The propellers are loud on purpose, so anyone in your house knows it's coming.

Ring Rover Cam is built for businesses. Tap once and it drives to any room or saved spot, raises a periscope camera and does a full 360° scan. It can patrol on a schedule, react when other Ring devices are triggered, and record up to 4K while it moves. It also has a siren, a light tower and two-way audio, and Sleep Mode pulls the camera down and turns the mic off.

Both run on Ring's AI Pilot, which maps your space, suggests patrol points and steers around obstacles. Both show a light when they're recording, and video is protected by Ring's end-to-end encryption. Some features need a Ring Protect plan.

Ring Rover Cam ships December 16, 2026, and preorders are open now at $999.99. Ring Drone Cam is expected January 27, 2027, pending FCC approval.
