Amazon’s home security subsidiary Ring has unveiled its latest innovation in indoor surveillance—the Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam. This $79.99 wired camera builds upon Ring’s existing Indoor Cam with the addition of a motorized pan-tilt base, allowing users to swivel the lens a full 360 degrees for comprehensive monitoring.
Despite its enhanced mobility, the Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam retains the core features that defined its predecessor: 1080p HD video, two-way talk capabilities for remote communication, motion detection alerts, a privacy-ensuring physical shutter, and an ear-splitting siren to deter intruders. However, the new pan-tilt functionality introduces a level of flexibility previously unseen in Ring’s indoor lineup.
Aesthetically, the Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam also brings a fresh splash of color to Ring’s product palette. Alongside the standard white and black models, the company is debuting three new hues: a sleek charcoal gray, a creamy off-white, and—perhaps most strikingly—a sophisticated blush tone that Harris describes as “equal parts smart and stylish.”

These new color options will extend to Ring’s existing Indoor Cam as well, providing welcomed cosmetic upgrades for $59.99. While utilitarian designs have dominated the indoor camera market, Ring seems keen to inject some personality and ambiance into the home security space.
Under the hood, the Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam’s 360-degree viewing arc is facilitated by an ingenious pivoting mechanism and two versatile mounting options—one for ceilings, the other for walls. A lengthy 10-foot cable ensures users can strategically position the device near power sources.
Like its kin, however, the Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam still requires a Ring Protect subscription (starting at $4.99 monthly) to enable video recording and advanced detection features like person alerts. Without a plan, users will only receive basic motion notifications and live streaming access.
Still, recent enhancements to the Ring Protect service have amplified its utility. The new Multi-Cam Live View consolidates up to four live feeds into a single, unified display for smoother monitoring across multiple cameras. Picture-in-Picture mode, meanwhile, allows a persistent live view to remain open even when switching between apps or browser tabs.
The Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam in black and white colorways is available for purchase now, shipping from May 30th. The newly introduced gray, cream, and blush variants will arrive on virtual and physical shelves in the coming weeks.
While smart home security has grown increasingly sophisticated and automated, Ring’s newest offering ensures that a discerning human eye remains pivotal to domestic safety. With its all-seeing pan-tilt capabilities, this indoor camera promises the ultimate level of visual oversight—offering anxious homeowners a techno-empowered way to surveill their sanctuaries from every conceivable angle.
