On November 10, 2026, Ring announced the launch of two new security devices: the $250 Ring Drone Cam and the $1,000 Ring Rover Cam. The Drone Cam is designed to autonomously patrol homes, capturing 2K video and responding to alerts from other Ring devices. It operates using a cloud-based AI system called 'AI Pilot' for navigation and requires a Wi-Fi connection. The Rover Cam, targeted at businesses, features a periscope camera and can patrol predefined routes while streaming 4K video. Both devices have raised privacy concerns due to their surveillance capabilities and potential police access to footage. The Drone Cam is set to ship on January 27, 2027, while the Rover Cam will be available on December 16, 2026. Ring has faced scrutiny over its partnerships with law enforcement and the implications of its surveillance technology.
