According to Amazon, the company unveiled Ring Robotics today, introducing two autonomous security devices: a $250 indoor drone camera and a $999.99 wheeled rover for businesses. Both systems autonomously map spaces and respond to alarms without requiring manual control.
The drone camera records 2K video with LED lighting for dark conditions and is scheduled to ship January 27, pending FCC authorization. It patrols designated areas set in Alexa Home Map and activates when alarms trip. The rover conducts scheduled patrols, records 4K video, and uses lights, sirens, and two-way audio to confront intruders. Amazon deleted its drone footage copies after 24 hours and uses rotating encryption keys for video protection.
