Ring cameras go mobile as Amazon debuts AI-powered security drone and robot

Amazon introduced the Ring Drone Cam, which offers a 148-degree field of view, 360-degree rotation, 2K video and low-light LEDs, but is limited to about 8 minutes of flight time on a new, fully charged battery and may perform worse near reflective, featureless or transparent surfaces. Amazon also pitched the $1,000 Ring Rover Cam, an autonomous indoor security robot with up to 4K livestreaming and recording, cloud storage of events for up to 180 days, and preprogrammed patrol points, available for preorder with shipping set for December 16, 2026. The wheeled Rover is limited to single-floor indoor use and is not compatible with curved edges, sunken areas, flooring transitions over 1.375 inches or black glossy floors.
