Overview
- Ring introduced a new lineup of Sidewalk-enabled sensors and control devices that work without Wi‑Fi or a hub, with most units shipping in March and the network expanding to Canada and Mexico.
- Fire Watch, built with nonprofit Watch Duty, will roll out this spring with real-time fire alerts, optional snapshot sharing from Ring users, and AI smoke/flame detection for Ring Protect subscribers.
- Amazon said it donated $1 million to Watch Duty to help expand coverage and improve real-time wildfire reporting across the U.S.
- New AI features — Unusual Event Alerts and Active Warnings — start later this month for subscribers with Video Descriptions enabled, and they are not available in Illinois.
- Ring launched an in-app Appstore in the U.S. for third-party integrations, opened preorders for a GPS Ring Car Alarm, and announced a $5,000 Mobile Security Trailer due this spring.
