Ring, an Amazon subsidiary, introduced a $250 flying camera drone for indoor monitoring and a $1,000 autonomous robot designed to patrol businesses. The Ring Drone Cam can move from room to room, including upstairs, record footage during the day or night, and fly for up to eight minutes before automatically returning to its charging dock. The Ring Rover Cam, based on Amazon’s Astro robot, features a display, an extendable periscope camera, a built-in siren, two-way audio and a light tower that helps users track its location. Both devices have an LED indicator when recording and cannot operate outdoors, in compliance with Federal Aviation Administration rules. The Ring Drone Cam is scheduled for U.S. release on Jan. 27, pending Federal Communications Commission approval, while the Ring Rover Cam will begin shipping on Dec. 16.
