Ring announces new drone and robot models for home security

Operating under the umbrella of Amazon, home security company Ring has established a new robotics division and unveiled two new security devices aimed at automating home and office security.

Within the scope of the Ring Robotics announcement, the Ring Drone Cam designed for home security and the Ring Rover Cam model developed for businesses were made public. Described as a flying indoor security camera, the Ring Drone Cam flies between rooms to monitor conditions at home and alerts the user in the event of an issue. The device will be released on January 27 with a price tag of $270. The company's mobile robot designed for businesses, the Ring Rover Cam, offers continuous 4K video streaming, features a periscope camera, and can automatically record when it detects a human. The Rover Cam will go on sale on December 16 with a price tag of $1,000.

Both devices are powered by the AI Pilot artificial intelligence system. The company states that this system uses customized vision models, sensors, and cloud processing to autonomously scan and map the area. Regarding the privacy potential and potential concerns of the devices, Ring announced that the products are protected by TAKE encryption technology and that privacy and security are kept at the forefront.
