Overview

The Ring Always Home Cam was Ring's first indoor security drone, announced on September 24, 2020 at a planned price of $249. It flew user-set paths through the home, could not be flown manually, flew a set path automatically when Ring Alarm was triggered, and sat in a base that physically blocked its camera when docked.

Ring later made it available through an invitation-only request system, but it saw only a very limited release. Ring redesigned it several times, and the Ring Drone Cam announced in November 2026 is its successor.
