Ring Announces Smart Lock, Expands 4K Camera Lineup, and Introduces New Pan-Tilt 2K Indoor Camera 

By Ring on October 9, 2026

Big things are happening at Ring, as we announce our first-ever smart lock with a battery you can recharge by hand, an expanded Retinal Vision 4K camera lineup, and an all-new Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam 2K. From the front door to every corner of your home, we're giving you more ways to see, control, and help protect what matters most.  

Ring Smart Lock: The End of Smart Lock Anxiety 

We've been helping you see who's at your front door for over a decade. Today, we're rethinking how you get through it. Ring Smart Lock is our first-ever solution to the one problem every smart lock on the market shares: what happens when the battery dies? We’ve created a first-of-its-kind power dial built right into the lock. Arriving home from work and your smart lock has a dead battery? No problem! Turn the dial a few times and Ring Smart Lock powers right back up.  

Ring Smart Lock gives you four ways into your home without a key: a fingerprint reader, backlit touchscreen keypad, the Ring App, and via Alexa.  

With the Ring App¹, you can check your lock status, lock your door, and manage who gets access. Ring Smart Lock stays connected through Amazon Sidewalk², so you don't need to worry about wifi range or router placement. Locking, unlocking, status checks, and PIN updates all happen seamlessly in the background. 

Ring Smart Lock fits right into your existing setup. It works with Ring Doorbells, cameras, and Alarm, supports voice commands through Echo and Alexa³, and every event is logged in your Ring App activity feed. Installation is simple: it fits a standard single-cylinder deadbolt and doesn't require additional wiring. 

Ring Smart Lock will be available to purchase in the U.S. in early 2027 in three finishes: black, silver, and brass. Sign up for updates here. 

Retinal Vision 4K: Ring's Most Complete Camera Lineup Yet 

When we launched Retinal Vision 4K, it set a new standard for home security cameras. This year, we're building upon that foundation with four new models designed to bring that same sharp, true-color detail to every part of your home. 

Outdoor Cam 4K Plus is our next-generation outdoor camera featuring Retinal 4K, available in battery, plug-in, hardwired, solar, and PoE configurations.  

Spotlight Cam 4K Plus pairs Retinal 4K clarity with a built-in 550-lumen spotlight for added deterrence. Available in battery, plug-in, and solar power options.  

Floodlight Cam 4K Plus combines powerful floodlight deterrence with Retinal 4K detail and supports 24/7 Recording⁴ and smart detection.  

Indoor Cam 4K brings Retinal 4K to Ring's indoor lineup for the first time, with a 115-degree field of view, dual-band wifi 6, and a physical privacy shutter. 

No matter how your home is set up or how you like to power your devices, there's a 4K camera built for it. 

Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam 2K: One Camera, Always in Frame 

The problem with a fixed camera? Life doesn't happen in one place. Pets roam, people move, and the moment that matters most doesn't always happen when and where the lens is pointed. 

Our all-new Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam 2K offers 360 degrees of pan coverage and 175-degree tilt. It intelligently follows motion, so you never miss what's happening at home. It’s equipped with 2K video quality, computer vision-based motion detection, and a physical privacy shutter that disables both the camera and microphone when closed. 

From 4K detail that catches what you'd normally miss to a camera that follows the action in real time, our expanded lineup helps you see more and miss less.
