NEW: Ring unveils new patrol drone and robot to surveil homes and businesses by flying room to room.
The drone is able to fly back to its charging station on its own after patrolling around the home.
Here are some more details on the drone and robot:
- Patrol drone costs $250.
- Patrol rover costs $1000.
- The drone can fly for up to 8 minutes at a time.
- The drone has 148-degree peripheral vision and can quickly rotate 360 degrees to identify threats.
- Both require a subscription fee of $5 per month.
"For years, customers told us they wanted eyes in the places a fixed camera couldnโt reach, and peace of mind in the spots theyโd never want one," said Ring founder Jamie Siminoff.
"The honest answer wasnโt more cameras; it meant reimagining what a security device could be. That kind of invention is hard, and it takes time."
"But we kept at it until we got it right and thatโs Ring Robotics. Itโs not just a new category of security; itโs the beginning of a future where proactive, autonomous protection is something every home and every business can have."
