Amazon's Ring Introduces Indoor Drone and Robot for Home and Business Security

Amazon's Ring has launched two new security devices: the $250 Ring Drone Cam and the $1,000 Ring Rover Cam. The Ring Drone Cam is an indoor flying security camera that autonomously investigates suspicious activity and captures footage day and night. The Ring Rover Cam, repurposed from Amazon's Astro robot, is designed for patrolling workplaces such as offices and warehouses.
These innovations mark a significant expansion for Ring into the home and business surveillance market, which is projected to exceed $200 billion in sales this year. The Drone Cam can fly for up to eight minutes and is equipped with LED lights to deter potential intruders. Ring aims to enhance its smart home offerings while addressing privacy concerns that have arisen from its partnerships with law enforcement.
The Ring Drone Cam is set to ship in the U.S. on January 27, pending FCC approval, while the Ring Rover Cam will begin shipping on December 16. Both devices prioritize user privacy, with features that indicate when they are recording, and the drone is restricted from flying outdoors due to FAA regulations.
