Ring sets January 27, 2027 ship date for $249.99 Drone Cam and $999.99 Rover Cam
Overview
Ring says its indoor Drone Cam will ship in the US on January 27, 2027, for $249.99, pending FCC certification that the company says is still in progress.
Founder Jamie Siminoff announced the date at a New York City launch event, and Siminoff seemed confident the January launch would hold. The drone was first announced nearly six years ago.
The drone is part of the new Ring Robotics line, which also includes the $999.99 Rover Cam, an autonomous security robot for businesses built on Amazon's Astro home robot. Ring says the Rover Cam is available for preorder and will start shipping December 16, 2026. Both devices stream and record video to the Ring app and require a Ring Protect plan for video storage and advanced features.
