Amazon finally unveiled its home drone security camera six years after first teasing the concept. It’s called the Amazon Ring Drone Cam.
The Amazon Ring Drone Cam has a 2K camera on the front with two LEDs and a 1080p down-facing camera. The lights are there to both illuminate its surroundings and to hopefully deter intruders.
It can patrol your home using pre-set schedules or fly in response to a motion sensor or leak sensor going off. You can also fly the drone whenever if you want to check on your home when you’re away.
Operating the drone is easier using the new Alexa Home Mapp, which takes a 3D map view of your home.
The drone weighs 165grams, lighter than your average smartphone. It has a flight time of 8 to 10 minutes. When the battery runs out, it will automatically return and land at its dock. An 8-minute charge already provides a minute of flight time.
Of course, it uses AI and cloud processing to navigate your home better. It pairs to the cloud and to your device over WiFi.
There’s also the Amazon Ring Rover Cam. It’s like a small robot with wheels and a display, speaker, microphone, and 4K camera so you can monitor your property and also converse with anyone in it. It works like the drone, only on land. From what it looks like, this one is aimed at warehouses, stores, and other enterprise use.
It also boasts a light tower that projects a blue ring to the ceiling so you can locate it easily. It also flashes when the siren is going off.
The Amazon Ring Drone Cam retails for USD249 (~Php15,700) and will be available in select markets starting January 27, 2027. The Ring Rover Cam costs more at USD999 (~Php63,200)
