Amazon's Ring Debuts Autonomous Security Products With Flying Drone, Robot
By Kelly Cloonan
Amazon.com's Ring unit unveiled a flying indoor drone and roving robot, the first products under its new division dedicated to autonomous security devices.
The division, called Ring Robotics, aims to offer security products for homes and businesses that patrol, respond and investigate risks, rather than simply monitoring, Amazon said Tuesday.
With the flying indoor security camera, called Ring Drone, users will be able to set custom flight routes and schedules that the drone will fly automatically, in addition to on-demand deployments. The drone is also designed to automatically investigate when a Ring camera, sensor or alarm is triggered, Amazon said.
The drone starts at $249.99 and is set to begin shipping to U.S. customers in January. Its launch comes after Ring initially announced plans for a flying security drone in 2020.
Ring Rover, meanwhile, is an autonomous security robot designed for businesses. It starts at $999.99 and is scheduled to begin shipping to U.S. customers next month.
Both devices are designed to work with Ring's existing devices and app, Amazon said.
Ring's founder and chief inventor Jamie Siminoff said the devices aim to meet demand for monitoring in places where fixed cameras can't reach, or where they wouldn't want to install cameras.
That "meant reimagining what a security device could be," Siminoff said. "That kind of invention is hard, and it takes time."
