Amazon finally launches the 250 Ring Drone Cam and also the Ring Rover Cam

It's been at least six years since Amazon first teased an in-home security camera in the form of a drone, but Ring founder Jamie Siminoff says that his company has actually been working on a drone concept since 2016. That's before Amazon even acquired Ring in 2018, and about a decade in the making. After some starts and stops, including the various reveals and tests over the years, Siminoff believes the Ring Drone Cam is finally ready for the general public. It will retail for $249.99 and ship on January 27, 2027. The camera is part of a pair of devices launching as part of the Ring Robotics category of autonomous, mobile security that Amazon is also unveiling today.
