Ring sets January 2027 release for its indoor security drone

Ring sets January 2027 release for its indoor security drone

When a sensor detects motion, a door opening, a water leak or an alarm, the AI-powered drone can follow a pre-programmed route to a set location, then livestream or record what is happening in the Ring app. Owners can also schedule patrols or send the camera out on demand.

Ring lists the Drone Cam’s resolution at 2K and its field of view at 148 degrees. Because the camera flies, it can cover 360 degrees. The Verge got a hands-on look at the device at the launch event, describing it as small and lightweight at 165 grams. It has no onboard sensors beyond those needed for landing and relies on AI to fly. When the drone is docked, its camera is fully covered.

The planned release comes almost six years after Ring announced its first flying camera, the Ring Always Home Cam. The source notes that the Drone Cam’s arrival remains conditional: “If it does actually ship.”
