Ring says its flying indoor security camera is finally shipping

TL;DR

  • Ring's Drone Cam, a successor to the Always Home Cam, is scheduled to ship on January 27th, 2027, for $249.99.
  • The AI-powered drone reacts to Ring sensor triggers (motion, open door, leak, alarm) and flies preprogrammed routes to livestream and record events.
  • It offers 2K resolution, a 148-degree field of view, and 360-degree coverage due to its mobility.
