Amazon has announced the Ring Drone Cam and Ring Rover Cam for the US market only; no UK price or launch date has been given.
The key facts
- Amazon has unveiled two mobile Ring security devices: an indoor flying camera and a patrol robot for business premises.
- US prices are $999.99 for the Rover (from 16 December 2026) and $249.99 for the drone (from 27 January 2027, subject to US radio-frequency approval that is still pending).
- Amazon has not named a UK price or launch date. Existing Ring products such as video doorbells are already sold in the UK, typically months after the US launch and at a premium to a straight dollar conversion.
Ring is adding mobile devices to its fixed-camera line-up: an indoor drone and a business patrol robot. For UK shoppers, this is for now a US-only announcement with no confirmed local sale date.
This article explains what the devices are meant to do, what they cost in the US, and what past UK experience with Ring products suggests about a possible local launch.
Two devices for two different settings
The Amazon announcement for Ring Robotics covers two devices aimed at different users. The Ring Drone Cam is an indoor flying camera for households, designed to fly to pre-set checkpoints when an alarm event triggers it. The Ring Rover Cam is a wheeled security robot for businesses, designed to patrol set routes and respond to events. Both descriptions come from the manufacturer; independent testing of the as-yet-unreleased devices is not available.
US prices and dates at a glance
| Device | US price | US launch | Target users |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ring Rover Cam | $999.99 | 16 December 2026 | Businesses |
| Ring Drone Cam | $249.99 | 27 January 2027* | Households |
Both dates and prices apply specifically to the US market. For the drone, Amazon adds a further caveat: it has not yet been cleared under US radio-frequency rules (FCC approval).
What this means for shoppers in the UK
Amazon’s announcement names no UK (or wider European) launch date or price. A future UK launch is therefore neither confirmed nor ruled out.
Existing Ring products follow a consistent pattern: Ring video doorbells are already sold in the UK, for instance on Ring’s own UK website, but typically months after the US launch and at a price in pounds sterling above a straight dollar conversion, reflecting import costs, VAT and retailer margin. Importing either new device directly from the US ahead of a UK launch would carry no official UK warranty or support, and the US list price of $999.99 or $249.99 would not be the real landed cost once shipping, customs and VAT are added.
The drone’s predecessor, the “Always Home Cam” first announced in 2020, has never been sold outside the US — a sign that an international rollout for Ring’s flying devices has historically taken years, if it happens at all.
Frequently asked questions
When is the Ring drone coming to the UK?
Amazon has only confirmed a US launch from 27 January 2027. No UK or European date has been published.
What would the Ring Drone Cam cost in the UK?
There is no reliable figure yet. Amazon has only given a US price of $249.99; past Ring products have launched in the UK above a straight dollar conversion.
Can I order the device from the US already?
In theory, but with no guarantee of UK regulatory approval, support or functionality — and the drone itself is not yet cleared for sale in the US either.
Are any Ring products already sold in the UK?
Yes — Ring video doorbells, for example, are already available in the UK, usually months after their respective US launch.
