Ring, an Amazon company, has launched a new indoor security device called the Ring Drone Camera, priced at $249.99. The product was unveiled on Tuesday (November 10) and is designed to provide home security by flying between rooms and capturing video footage, according to KREM.
Jamie Siminoff, Ring's founder and chief inventor, stated that the drone was developed in response to customer requests for a security solution that could reach places fixed cameras cannot. The drone features a 148-degree peripheral vision and can rotate 360 degrees, as reported by CEPro.
The Ring Drone Camera is part of the new Ring Robotics line, which also includes the Ring Rover Cam, a $999.99 autonomous security robot for businesses. Both devices utilize an AI Pilot system for navigation and are pending regulatory approval before their respective shipping dates in early 2027, Gadget Review reports.
The drone can fly for up to eight minutes before returning to its charging dock. It requires a $5 monthly subscription for certain features, including scheduled patrols. The device is designed for indoor use only, with safeguards to prevent outdoor flights due to FAA restrictions.
Ring has addressed privacy concerns by ensuring the drone's camera remains off while docked and only records during flight. The device also features LED indicators to show when recording is active.
