The Brief · written from 9 sources

  • Ring Drone Cam is a flying indoor home security camera priced at $249.99 and is set to arrive January 27, 2027, per The Verge.
  • Ring Rover Cam is a rolling mobile security robot for businesses priced at $999.99, rebranded from Amazon's Astro rover.
  • Both products are the first from Ring Robotics, a new subbrand, and use the AI Pilot navigation software.

Why it matters

Ring is moving from fixed doorbell and camera hardware into autonomous devices that patrol rather than only monitor. Developers mostly see this as a consumer hardware signal, since the sources do not mention developer APIs or SDKs.
