The Ring Rover Cam and Ring Drone Cam are expected to reach customers starting at the end of 2026 and in early 2027, respectively, according to an Amazon announcement posted on November 10. Amazon describes the devices as relying on an AI Pilot system that uses each device’s cameras along with “specialized vision models, on-device sensors and cloud processing” to plan patrol routes while autonomously navigating around obstacles such as furniture.
What happened
Amazon describes the devices as relying on an AI Pilot system that uses each device’s cameras along with “specialized vision models, on-device sensors and cloud processing” to plan patrol routes while autonomously navigating around obstacles such as furniture.
Where the sources line up
Both devices also use that AI Pilot system to digitally map the floor plan of the customer’s home or business. This setup process occurs after the customer carries the Ring drone through their indoor spaces or allows the Ring Rover to do some autonomous exploration.
Practical impact for readers
Amazon’s Ring Drone appears to be a direct successor to the company’s Ring Always Home Cam that was only temporarily available for purchase by invitation as a “Day 1 Edition” product in September 2021—even having the same starting price of $250.
Who should pay attention now
But the Ring Drone still requires authorization from the Federal Communications Commission before going on sale. Assuming that comes through, Amazon aims to make the drone available on January 27, 2027, with customers able to register for email updates through the product page .
What is still unclear
The drone can supposedly follow a set route and schedule for customers who subscribe to the Amazon Ring Protect plan. It can automatically fly along those set routes when responding to a notification from a Ring camera, sensor, or alarm.
