Amazon introduced an indoor security drone made by Ring, offering a flying camera to monitor areas stationary devices cannot reach, the company announced Tuesday.
The company also unveiled the Ring Rover Cam, an autonomous security robot for businesses that patrols, investigates disturbances, and streams up to 4K video. Both devices are powered by AI Pilot, a custom system that maps spaces, suggests patrol points and navigates around obstacles.
“For years, customers told us they wanted eyes in the places a fixed camera couldn’t reach, and peace of mind in the spots they’d never want one,” said Ring founder and chief inventor Jamie Siminoff.

“The honest answer wasn’t more cameras; it meant reimagining what a security device could be,” he added. “That kind of invention is hard, and it takes time. But we kept at it until we got it right — and that’s Ring Robotics. It’s not just a new category of security; it’s the beginning of a future where proactive, autonomous protection is something every home and every business can have.”
The $250 indoor drone allows users to set automated patrol routes on a schedule or deploy the device on demand.

When a connected Ring camera, sensor, or alarm is triggered, the drone automatically flies to designated patrol points to investigate.
It features a 148-degree field of view, 360-degree rotation, and dual built-in LED lights for low-light environments.
Meanwhile, the $1,000 Ring Rover Cam is tailored for businesses to conduct automated property sweeps or investigate incidents.
“Get a closer look wherever and whenever you need it without the cost and complexity of wiring up every corner of every room,” the company stated, adding that the Rover was inspired by Amazon Astro feedback highlighting customer demand for roving security.
